Anyone here has a Lifetime Hunting License? The reason I ask is because I’ve been considering getting one for quite some time but never decided to do it. Now, I was reading that:

“On July 1, 2010, the cost of a turkey permit will go up from $5 to $10 for Florida …In addition, Florida waterfowl permits will increase as well, from $3 to $5…”

“…There also is a new deer permit that will be required whenever hunting deer in Florida, beginning during the upcoming 2010-2011 hunting season. The permit will cost $5 and will not be available for purchase until July 1…” “…Those with a Sportsman's License, Gold Sportsman's License, 64 or Older Sportsman's License, Military Gold Sportsman's License, Lifetime Hunting License or Lifetime Sportsman's License will not need to purchase the new deer permit because it has already been included in each of these licenses, even if they were purchased before July 1…”

Somehow I also think I heard management area stamps are going up, but not sure.

I’m my case, it looks like a good option for me and the $501.00 it costs won’t hurt me that much. I figured that with the different hunting permits, stamps, etc, it is costing me around $65.00 a year to hunt and it will take me 8 years to break even (I'm 44 and expect to be around for a while :toast ). Additionally, the way things are going I’m sure the cost of licenses will only be increasing.

Is a lifetime hunting license a good option? Yes, No, Why?
