Migratory bird licence

I didn't get an email, but my friend told me about it.
$2 bucks next year, $2 bucks the year after, and... $1.50 in year 3 was it?
The increases seem reasonable enough, the current prices were set in like the mid 90s so they're way behind the curve inflation wise.
I don't like the idea of charging for getting one in person though.

The cost of licenses doesn’t bother me. I like to collect them anyways so I’ll still buy them in person.

You guys know you can buy the licence online, print it off, and still request the stamp to be sent to you in the mail right?
Of all of the hunting licenses/tags I buy, the migratory bird one is by far the cheapest not to mention the most value....wild turkey = $32 per turkey, deer/bear = $52 per. I can harvest a lot of geese and ducks for my $18 stamp which makes it a veritable bargain!

Yup I’ve bought them online as well but I like the stamp on the license because I’m thinking of framing all my previous licenses and making a display out of it but yeah it’s more convenient to buy online and print out the license.
$52 for a deer tag in Ontario!? Sheesh its only $15 here. And turkey doesn't even require a tag...
I always thought the duck licence was a good price, but I didn't realize everything else was too.
Bought online, and you can print it off immediately. It's a great way to do it (and the cheaper way in the future it looks like)
Our tags are expensive here, you can easily spend about $300.00 buying deer,moose, bear, turkey, small game, for the season. These I do buy online. And then there is no guarantee that you will get chosen for the draws on deer & moose.
I'll start buying the stamp online, since the biggest problem in my area is finding a store that has them in stock.

What sort of fee is there to enter the draws? In BC its $8 per draw entry, can only enter one draw per species.
In Ontario buying the licence allows you to enter the draw. So you pay the full licence fee just to get into the draw and if you don't get picked, tough. Nice place this Ontario.
There is no fee, you have to buy the licence and then wait, hoping that you get drawn for a tag. Most times you never get one.
A lot of hunters here have stopped because of the system we have, because if you don't get drawn you can't harvest an adult moose, or a doe if deer hunting. Its been years since Ive had a adult moose tag. I,m considering going somewhere warm for a week rather than walking in the bush not being able to shoot anything.
Sheesh that's a brutal system. I knew we had it good in BC, but i thought that was due to geography and variety of game. Apparently those aren't the only reasons BC has it good...
