Hunt and Fish for a Lifetime with the Lifetime Sportsman's License
(3/18/2003)

Make a life-long commitment to wildlife this spring when purchasing a new hunting or fishing license by investing in a lifetime sportsman’s license, encourages the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Wildlife Resources Division (WRD). This license covers a lifetime of all necessary state hunting and fishing licenses (except the federal duck stamp) that a hunter or angler would need for year-round hunting and fishing enjoyment, even if they move out of state.

“The lifetime sportsman’s license is a great investment for both the avid outdoors enthusiast and also for the wildlife that benefits from the sale of this license,” says WRD Director David Waller. “It is especially cost-advantageous to the buyer to purchase one for those under the age of 16, due to the lower price.”

Hunters and anglers who purchase a lifetime sportsman’s license will receive an attractive, plastic card with their name, date of birth and identification number embossed on one side and a photograph of a white-tailed deer and a largemouth bass on the other side. A temporary license will be issued for immediate use until the actual card arrives in the mail. Lifetime sportsman’s license prices range from $200 to $500, depending on the age of the person for whom the license is purchased. Lifetime sportsman’s license prices are as follows:

• Under age 2 - $200
• Ages 2-15 - $350
• Ages 16 and up - $500
