How can I get a hunting license?
Obtaining a hunting license is a requirement for legal hunting by any hunter in the United States with the exception of certain owners. Laws regulating hunting are created and maintained primarily by each state’s Department of Natural Resources and Wildlife Management, although some federal statutes exist. Generally speaking, a hunting license is obtained in the hunter’s home state and is valid for one year.
State, federal or local licenses?
Each state has different laws and regulations regarding hunting licenses. The hunting license is obtained by paying the regulatory fee assigned to the type of license being purchased. In some states, separate hunting and trapping licenses are required. Combination licenses can also be purchased, and fishing licenses can often be combined with hunting licenses. Certain states allow hunters to purchase a single lifetime hunting license and may offer senior and disabled discounts. Hunters who hunt outside of their state of residence may purchase non-resident hunting licenses in certain cases.
Fees that must be paid for a hunting license and minimum age to obtain it
The fees for a hunting license will vary as will the age requirement. Some states in the US may require applicants to be 16 years of age and others may require applicants to be 17 or 18 years of age. A form of identification is required to obtain a hunting license, regardless of location or age. Each state provides a copy of the hunting regulations in effect each year and hunters should consult the regulations before purchasing a hunting license to ensure they are legally licensed to hunt their desired game, method, and season.
Requirements to be able to hunt even having a legal license.
In addition to a hunting license, other requirements may be required. Deer hunting requires the purchase of a deer tag in addition to the license. In states where more than one deer is allowed, hunters will need a tag for each kill.
Important! Other game-specific regulations may also apply depending on location. Check local laws before you go hunting.
Licenses granted by the States and their validity
A hunter can obtain a hunting license at most sporting goods stores, as well as from the DNR or their respective state’s Gaming Commission. The license year begins in June in most areas. In many cases, states allow the purchase of licenses online or by phone as well. For information on obtaining a non-resident hunting license in a state other than their home, hunters should speak directly with the state Gaming Commission.
