GIVE YOUR HUNTER/ANGLER YEAR-ROUND RECREATION YHIS CHRISTMAS

If you’re stuck for what to give the avid hunter or angler in your life the GA Department of Natural Resources has a suggestion.

Gift them a hunting, fishing, or combo license to help them enjoy the wild places they love.

One option is a Resident Lifetime License.

With a lifetime license, the Georgia resident hunter or angler on your gift list will never need to purchase another state hunting or fishing license…ever! From hunting trophy whitetails to casting for lunker largemouth, their cherished recreation in Georgia is covered. Depending upon their recreational activity, they may need additional no-cost licenses or a harvest record. Visit GeorgiaWildlife.com/LifetimeLicense for applications and more details.

Annual or Other Licenses

Can’t purchase a lifetime license? How about giving an annual or 2-year license to that hunter or angler? Even if they already have a current license, if you purchase a same-type license, it will “stack” onto their existing one.

Youth License

The Youth Sportsman’s License for $15 makes a great gift for resident youth under age 16 and allows you to give them a gift valued at $70! This license provides both hunting and fishing privileges, and is good through age 17, giving them a full-year sportsman’s license once they reach age 16 (when they are required to have a license).

Licenses are Gifts That Keep On Giving …

The Wildlife Resources Division uses hunting and fishing license sales to fulfill its wildlife mission. The sale of paid licenses is a key measure through which states receive federal Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration funding. More license sales means potentially more conservation funding. Uses of this funding in Georgia vary from operating public fishing areas to managing the state’s 1 million-strong deer herd.
