I will buy my Mass non resident hunting/fishing license and spend the majority of my money over the border. Lucky for me I live in NW CT and it is only a short drive to great out of state fishing.

I will wait until the absolute last minute to purchase my CT license and any tags I plan on needing if any.All hunting tags will be purchased online the night before any hunts I plan on going on.


In 2009 I purchased the following CT combo license and also Non-resident season fishing licenses in MA,ME and NY.I also purchased a 10 day Colorado fishing license.


I am afraid to add it all up but this is the first year that I am having to re-think where I fish and how bad I want to fish certain places.Cost has finally become an issue for me.

on top of my own problems I have 3 young sons ,two of them require a fishing license.I would also purchase one for the wife who fished with me once or twice a year,she can now just go for boat rides and will not fish or we will risk it for the one or two fish a year she actually reels in and let her fish without a license from the boat.


I just gave mini mike $40 to get his 2010 fishing license,being broke working 20 hours a week or less and going to college full time ,he just could not afford it on his own.He told me he was just not going to fish this year. WTF !!! So I paid it ,would rather see my boy out fishing than just "hanging out" like most of his peers.I think it is unfair that someone so young would even have to consider giving up fishing.


The increased fee's give PETA a victory over us sportsmen.Our numbers are being reduced by increased ,un-afforable fee's.So PETA is winning with the support of CT state government.
