I'm getting in the mood to chase spring gobblers. If things go right it looks like I'll get to go to Missouri for a few days this spring. I noticed that the price has gone up to a little over $300 for a non resident, as well as only allowing us one bird. It got me wondering what other states cost. Last I checked, I think MN is $26 for residents and $96 for non residents. What does your state charge?

Mo says they try to keep prices in line with what other states are charging, and that seems to be the case.

To be clear, I'm not complaining about the cost, or the limit dropping. I'm just curious about other states. If I ever get the time, I'd like to hunt a lot more of them.

$300 bucks for one bird in a constant declining turkey population I’m out they should be lowering the price that’s nuts.

In SD it’s,
$28 for a resident 1 bird $40 2 birds
$121 for 1 tag $151 for 2 birds NR,

Don’t take this as fact. Price in Missouri for out of state is fairly accurate but the way I read it it is still 2 birds only one the first week like before and then the next two week it one a day with a Grand total of the limit of two birds. As far as limits it’s been this way for several years. Someone correct me if I am wrong. On the east side of the state we do not see even close to the birds we saw in the 80s. So a total of two male birds per spring season. bearded hen is still legal I think but I never shoot one in spring

Except for non resident fishing is 61 plus 24 for a trout stamp Illinois non resident fishing is 31

It seems that not all of the website is updated, but this came off the MDC site.

I believe non-resident is $65.00 in Wisconsin. Plus $3.00 application and a $5.25 stamp. Gets you 1 gobbler.
Kids under 12 license is $7.00. This is for spring hunting.

Thanks big Sam they need to update there MDC web page. When you posted that I had not heard that change so I went to their web page and they must not have updated it yet. That’s why I said don’t take my response as fact. At my age I really don’t keep up with regulations that much. Thanks

In Pa, you get a buck , fall turkey and spring turkey tag with your license. And small game. Residents, $20.97, non residents, $102.97.

You are welcome, sir. I had heard about the change and the first place I looked didn't show it. I had to look a little further to verify it

I think it was $56 resident in Indiana ((1 tom in spring season) after game bird stamp and online payment fees. I decided to pass last year. I have shot plenty of turkeys, and I guess they are worth more to the state than they are to me at this point. Fall season would be another $39 for the tag and maybe $6 in fees, but you would already have the game bird stamp if you bought one in the spring so maybe the fall would “only” be $45.

Not sure exactly what the final cost of the non resident would be, but looks like right around $200 after all the required fees and stamp.

Non-resident $91 firearms lic. & $135 archery lic. (4 deer tags). Game bird stamp $28. (5 bearded birds spring any weapon, private or state. 2 fall birds Either sex, shotgun. 3 fall birds either sex archery. Plus pheasant, grouse, partridge).

With the proximity and the cost, it sounds like I need to make some friends in Wisconsin. Lol

First time to WI earns you a discount on your first license if that still applies.

I go to MO to hunt with a buddy he will be coming here if we are going to hunt together now or we can try some other states. I think MO is a great place but the tick selection that come in all sizes and chiggers eat me alive, I’ve got scars from last year and the year before still. Might still be having blood issues from that buffet them chiggers made of me last year.

Looks like Oklahoma is about $250 for one bird.

Bird populations are dropping in many places maybe they want to discourage the average hunters and cater to the elite crowd but money always talks to them.

Looks like it'd cost you $263 for one turkey in Iowa, if you jump successfully through the hoops... https://www.iowadnr.gov/media/1720/download?inline

$119 for the tag
$144 for the license

Trapdog's guide service is cheap though!

I think $26 is ridiculous. Should be 1 a day included with the small game tag.
