I agree. Used to cost me around $300 or more to hunt in Mississippi.

I know Texas will stick it to out of staters pretty hard.

When I go back to hunt or fish in La, its nice getting a discounted rate for being born in La. All I have to do is show my birth certificate and the price is extremely resonable.

I can get a 3 or 5 day hunting license (can't remember which one it is) for like 30 bucks. includes general hunting and big game.

Yep, it sucks. I purchase a Mississippi License ($400) and an Arkansas License ($400) every year. Live in Louisiana and don't even hunt here

We were looking into a few places in MS, but figured with 5 of us it'd save us $2k/yr by hunting in LA.

I was told that we gut them so they gut us. Alabama was $90 for me a year.

What infuriates me is when paying enormous out of state fees to hunt public land. Its your Federal Tax dollars that paid for that National Forest, you shouldnt have to pay inflated fees to hunt land that you financed.
