Ways to Save Money on License Purchases
Early Renewal Discount
An easy way to save! Most annual hunting and fishing licenses offer an early renewal option with a savings of $2.50 when a same privilege license is purchased before expiration of the old license. Same privilege licenses renewed early "stack" and add a full additional license term to the end of the expiring license.
Be sure to enter your email address when buying or reprinting a license. We will email a renewal reminder before your annual license expires. Renew early and save $2.50 on your annual license!
