IN Resident Hunting/Fishing License Info

[Moose1am]

LOL on the log and paddle. I have to go to the dentist today and that made me laugh and forget about having dental appointment.

That is exactly what I was afraid of. I was hoping to be able to buy the combo this week and use the hunting part of it the next few months. I want to hunt coyotes and need a hunting license do do that. I should have bought the combo license last April like I did the year before.

Now I have to buy a 2006 hunting license for just a few months and then turn around and buy the combo 2007 license for the rest of the year. Oh well. They get us one way or another. At least it's for a good cause. I fully support or DNR and what they do. And these fees help them say in business. If it were not for that fact I would really be bitching. LOL I just don't want to spend anymore than I have to. I'm pretty Conservative when it comes to spending my money on things.

Thanks for the information as that was exactly what I was looking for.

I am confused? On my license it says (( Valid period 04/01/2006-03/31/2007 )) Mine is a res.Hunt/Fish ???

Don't know how this thread got to launch permits? But it is NOT a perfect system. I live 70 miles to the rearest ramp that I would need to have to use this permit. An on line site I am a member of have fishing/camping outings across Indiana a few times a year, and Patoka has become a favorite for the spring outing. I didnt mind paying the $5.00 for the daily use, but I never used it again in a year. If the mooring guys are who the State wants to get ,well when they check a boat on the lake it should have to have a yearly permit or a daily permit for that day or get the ticket.Heck I even went to Summit once and buying that daily permit was no problem, but this new ruling bites! What $2.50 a gal gas isn't bad enought bite on our wallets! Way to much water in my area 100's of lakes with-in 70 miles for me to buy a yearly permit so I don't plan on fishing these waters. I like to visit different parts of the State like a lot of you do, but I won't buy food, gas,hotels, camping at Patoka, Monroe, Summit,Brookville like I have in the past You guys are right to say it's no problem if you live near these waterways and use them several times a year.

Charlie, I also am not near any of the big lakes, nearest one is Monroe, 1.5 hours away. But I go and use the lakes in my state. The lake sticker is certainly not "fair" for everyone but what on earth is... No need to complain about everything on God's great earth, everything is more expensive and it's not getting any better. My suggestion to you is just stay home and save all that money, let us other idiots go out and pay for gas, hotels, campsites, we will take care of the areas for you.... so when you go once a year they will be clean and ready for you.

Hi ,
Well there is no need to be a smart arse about it , some of us dont have much extra $$ to give to the state . I still say that a lanuch fee for kayaks and canoes is too much . As fisherman and hunters we already pay an extra tax on most outdoor items and most launch ramps where paid for with tax dollars . Here in Evansville it costs five dollars to launch in the Ohio on tax paid ramps , if they wanted to make major $$ why not have all boats in the river have stickers ? There are LOTS of marinas up and down the Ohio - lots more than at Patoka and Monroe . So please give us a break .

Sorry, not trying to be a smart arse about this. It's just the people that get on here and say I'm not going to pay this or that because it is too expensive, THEN STAY HOME....... Sounds like you need to go to a DNR meeting in your area and ask that question about all boats having stickers. Thats a good question.
