In my opinion if it's a Bucket List Hunt of a lifetime or a special Hunt out of State with a friend / friends, cost wouldn't matter. I would spend that 300 + dollars just to drive to Unicoi Show and a lot more money inside the SHOW ... LOL.


But I do again cost is getting out of hand for out of state hunts...IMO

General Forum / How Much?
Last post by GobbleNut - Today at 09:19:31 AM
The discussion about nonresident license fees got me to thinking about just how much each of us would be willing to pay for a license to hunt a turkey somewhere. What would be your limit?

Taking that concept a bit further, IF all the states eventually started setting their license fees in the neighborhood of $300+ for a single gobbler, would you pay that?  How about if the license went even higher than that...say, $400+?  If those fees were the only game in town, would you pay it...or would you just stop hunting out-of-state? 

For me personally, spring gobbler hunting is the ONLY hunting I pursue outside of my home state. It is important to me...and I generally only hunt a couple of other states each spring. Currently, I would guess the average license cost is around $225 +/- for most of the states I have hunted...some as much as $250-$300. (and the costs of all the extraneous stuff associated with going on those hunts is usually considerably more than that)

Bottom line for me...if push came to shove...is that I am pretty sure I would just grit my teeth and pay the extra money to go turkey hunting. I'm sure there is a limit to what I am willing to pay to pursue this passion...but I haven't reached it, and I'm not sure what it is...   ::)  :D

How about you?...

Been looking at a couple of rifle builds a 7mm saum and a 22 Creedmoore.  She should really like both.

Quote from: deerhunt1988 on December 09, 2025, 10:01:12 AMI was on the Oklahoma Wildlife Dept. website trying to find the new non-resident regulations for turkey next spring. Noticed they've added a new $100 Non-Resident Game Bird permit for non-residents hunting game birds on WMAs. That effectively makes Oklahoma $349 for a single turkey.

Non-resident annual hunting - $209
Non-resident turkey - $40
Non-resident game bird permit - $100

For a total of $349! To my knowledge, the most expensive tag for a single turkey to date. This bypasses Arkansas's $325.


You can view the non-resident license prices here:
https://www.wildlifedepartment.com/licensing/regs/license-fees#nonresident

And the new Game Bird Permit regulation here:
https://www.wildlifedepartment.com/hunting/regs/regulation-changes

The madness knows no end. Other states will take notice and respond accordingly in the future.

And to think a certain subset of turkey hunters helped bring this upon us all. Sad, sad, sad!
I think it's another fee to hunt the public access private land as well.

It sure is, another $100 for OLAP land. I had forgotten about that.

My successful gifts were a new table saw, table top mitre saw, new .22 handgun, wagoner power sprayer, new 9mm handgun, quilted walnut and shedua lumber. Mossberg Sa-28 youth model  That should about cover it. Z  :funnyturkey:
