Bob, actually depending on where you are hunting you can kill almost an unlimited amount. There are five whitetail tags plus mule deer on your regular license. On MLD property you can legally kill as many as you have permits for. I will probably have to kill between 40-50 deer this year for management purposes. It gets to be work!

As far as I am concerned, NY has a very good system. As a "senior citizen" it costs me a total of $5.00 for a "Senior Sportsman License" This covers fishing, small game, up to three deer tags, and a bear tag. If I want a tag for the special muzzle loading season, that is $14.00 more. Same for bow. Turkey is not included. Not too bad when you consider the going rates in other states

20 bucks for one in my home state of Colorado, but I can no longer get one over the counter and have to draw one. Too many people now trying to hunt a limited resource.
In my current duty station of Virginia, a big game license is 12 bucks and it includes 6 deer, a bear and 3 turkeys. Of course I also have to buy a small game license for 12 bucks and a special muzzleloading license for 12 bucks in order to have enough time to try to fill them all.

Up here it comes with the firearm ($27.50),or Bow license ($31.50). If you would like to extend your hunting season so there is no gaps from Sept.to Feb.,you have to get a permit for extended bow,or muzzle loader which can be had for $28.00 ea. You can buy as many of these permits that you like & am allowed 2 deer per permit.

West Virginia, hunting on your own land, $0. Senior Citizen, statewide, $0. And, I think, this year if you hunt all the seasons, bow, muzzle loader, etc you can kill 11 deer. That doesn't include special hunts on management areas.

M16-I know, but most of us don't have access to MLD tags or Mule Deer......I just didn't think about them. You are correct. We can also take an unlimited amount of axis, fallow, or sika deer as well. Again, access to the free-ranging exotics is pretty tough to come by as well.

Well now hold on, the first deer tag is $20.75 and the second is $26.25, on top of the $32.80 hunting license. You'll of course need a bear tag too, for $30.70 and wild pig tags at $15.75 each (I filled two tags this summer) and then an upland game stamp for $6.85 to go along with the state duck stamp for $13.90 . Back in May when I bought the license I put in for the drawings on elk, antelope and desert bighorn which required a $7.00 application fee for each. And then there's my trapping license for $81.25 and my scientific collectors permit that was $48.75.
So I'm into the state for $280.25 just for this stuff.
And then there's my commercial fishing license and permit fees............

IN Colorado, $20 for a deer license, and $0.25 for search and rescue fee. A proposal is bening floated to increase the S & R fee to a dollar (too many non-hunters getting lost in the woods); and also a proposal to require habitat conservation stamp and lastly, a proposal to increase the license fee. No amounts are attached to the stamp or fee increase. I think they are trying to figure out what the market will bear.

In NM a deer license will cost you $32 by itself, more if you add in small game, etc. for the General Hunting License. That includes our new "Depredation Fee" or slush fund for landowners. In addition to this you'll have to buy the $5 Habitat Improvement Stamp so the state can build some nice gates to lock you out of Forest Service and BLM land next year.

The total would be nine, as I understand it, in most of W.V. Considering I am 34 years old and can remember when just seeing a deer in my area was a pretty big deal, we've came along way!
