What did you expect? It would have shocked me if it didn't go up.

Ugly as sin!!! Glad I bought my lifetime in 2015 when they were proposed to go up the next season. I paid $1620.00 to wash my hands of all of it and I'm proud of my investment.
Went ahead and got my kids hooked up before they turned 3 ($200 apiece then in 2018) so they're paid off too.
Crazy how the kids lifetime has practically doubled and even the 13-51 yo lifetime has increased $800 dollars over 9 years.

If it went up 2% a year, no one would complain. Jump it 20% every 10 years, everyone complains. Everything else has gone up, everything TWRA has to pay out or buy has gone up, salaries have gone up, why shouldn't we expect fees to go up to help pay for it. I wish there was some way to get the bird watchers, WMA users that aren't hunters/fishermen/boaters, i.e the birdwatchers/horse back riders/atv riders/hikers....
Dont go trying to make sense, your supposed to fall in with the bashing and crying like the local trolls!!!

My biggest gripe is atv riders, I think they should be required to pass a BAC test and have to pay fees to trail ride. I'm sure most are decent, but there's always several that add ruts and beer cans. and all of them scatter wildlife.
A few too many really nice wmas are now not so nice to deer hunt because of atv traffic.

Looks like a bargain if you are a TN resident who hunts and fishes and hunts deer in all 3 seasons (bow, ml, and rifle). $84 bucks.
$126 if you add turkey.
Gonna be hell for my kids to hunt land they own... going up to over $500 for NR to hunt deer and turkey. That is gonna actually hurt.

They passed an alcohol ban this year so that should help
We all know how well prohibition worked out last time.....
I have a lifetime and bought my kids theirs before they turned 3, still think the cost going up even more is ridiculous
They aren't charging enough for OHV permits IMO. I hunt my own property and my kids have their lifetime.
It's been done in other states. I seem to recall in Georgia that there was some sort of outdoor recreation permit required to use the WMA. It applied to hikers, Trail bikers, horseback riders, rock climbers and anyone else. They had to pay something and it wasn't much to use the wma. It used to bug me that Hunters had to pay to use it for a couple weekends a year. Everyone else got a free ride all year long.
A lot of the WMA's and lakes have a day use fee if you don't have a license. Couple of bucks a day, but it adds up, and catches folks that are just stopping for a picnic as well.
Can't leave Walmart with what I can carry in one hand without dropping a hundred dollar bill, so yeah i think the price increase is plenty fair and expected.
At 50 cents a day its a heck of a deal for what i get to do
Glad I bought my lifetime.
