Buy License Now To Avoid Increase

If you're planning to go fishing or hunting this year and haven't bought your license yet, you may want to get to a vendor soon.

The prices of most Idaho fishing and hunting licenses will go up on Friday July 1. The fee increase, approved by the legislature earlier this year, will raise most prices by about 10 percent; resident adult hunting licenses will go from $11.50 to $12.75, and adult fishing licenses for residents go from $23.50 to $25.75. Resident combination licenses will go from $30.50 to $33.50. However, the price for a senior combination license will go from $4.50 to $11.75. The legislature approved the higher increase on senior licenses to bring them more in line with junior licenses. The increase also includes a 25 cent increase for vendors.

The fee increase goes into effect on July 1 because that is the day the new fiscal year begins. All licenses purchased before July 1 remain valid for the remainder of 2005.
