Multi-year License

This year, KDWP is offering resident youth multi-year fishing and hunting licenses. The idea for the multi-year license came when staff looked at the license buying habits of our hunters and anglers in data from our automated license sales system. When looking at age at purchase, we see a spike in sales at 16 years old, followed by a precipitous drop for the next five or six years. Teenagers get busy with high school activities and when they go to college, spending money can be limited. The new resident multi-year license is valid when they turn 16 through the end of the year they turn 21. A multi-year fishing or hunting license is $42.50 and a combination multi-year fishing/hunting license is $72.50. That's a significant savings when you consider that the regular annual fishing or hunting license is $20.50 and an annual combination license is $38.50. The youth multi-year license is designed to keep young people active in the outdoors and make it less expensive for families to enjoy hunting and fishing together. The new license is a great deal any way you look at it, and you'll be investing in much more than a fishing or hunting license.
