Lifetime hunting ($1000) or fishing ($1000) or combo ($1800)... Is it worth it? What if you move to a different state?

Whether it's worth it depends on your age.

I got mine when they were just a $1000. Should have gotten it way back when they were only $300!!! And they are still good if you move out of state.

yep, depends on your age. I bought my son a lifetime hunting license for his 25th birthday (ummm, I think it was his 25th??? but might have been 21st) as I foresee him having a good 50+ years of free hunting which would pay for itself @ $25/year but those fees might go up over time.
I have a friend that used to work in various states for extended periods, he bought a lifetime license in each of them that were available, CA, AZ, CO, TX, OK, ID, WA, and maybe OR, he retired in OK ... yeah it adds up but he hunts in all for residence rates and he typically will hit 2-3 different states each year.

Bought mine when I turned 18. Got some b-day money and what I had saved and decided that was a good investment. Paid $1000 for hunting/fishing combo, and the current Super Combo costing $68, it will only take 15 years to pay for its self, and it's got 3 years to go.

I bought mine at 1000. I knew I was moving to New Mexico a year or so later. It has paid itself off already in just over 4 years. It is a great investment

I have a lifetime for both Arkansas and Texas, $1000 each. One of the best things I ever did. Since I don't have to buy out of state Arkansas license it paid for itself in 3 years.

It's worth it if you move out of state. Maybe not if you stay in state. Especially not for fishing if you stay in state because once you turn 65 you don't need a Texas fishing license anymore.

I bought me and my son a lifetime combo license a few years ago. If you plan to hunt/fish for the next 12-18 years, then it will pay for itself.

No sir my grandpa doesn't need one anymore and he is 73 At 65 and older you are still required to have a fishing license unless you were born before Sept.1, 1931. From the TPWD website: "Are Texas residents 65 years of age and older required to purchase a fishing license? Yes, Texas residents 65 years of age and older are required to purchase a fishing license. However, Texas residents born BEFORE January 1, 1931 are exempt from the fishing license requirement.

As far as the lifetime license, as others have said it depends on your age and if you still plan to hunt in Texas after you move. I got mine when they were $1,000 for a combo and it was one of the best investments I've made. I plan to hunt and fish for many years to come, and you can bet the cost of a super combo is going to continue to go up. If I had waited until they went up to $1,800 it probably wouldn't have been such a good deal for me.

bought my lifetime hunting for $500 when I was around 35 or so. I figured that by the time I was too old or dead I'd have paid it back. Two years later I got a job that moved me out of state. Paid for my license the after only two years of living out of state. The way I look at it now, the state of Texas is paying me to hunt now.

Today just happens to be my birthday. I bought my Lifetime Combo 24 years ago for my 30th. Paid $500.00. On Sept 1 of that year they went to $1000.00. Best money I ever spent. The first few years I had it you still had to pay for stamps but somewhere in the mid 1990's they started including all State issued stamps, that really made it pay for itself quick. Now all I have to buy is a Federal Duck stamp. If you move out of state you still keep your lifetime resident license status.

I purchased mine when they were $600, missed the $300 by one year because I was dragging my feet. I have not had to buy one for many years now.
