FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Which state has the best combo hunting and fishing license?

Texas offers the best overall combo value with their $68 Super Combo, which includes hunting, fishing, AND all required stamps. Pennsylvania is best for deer hunters since their $47 combo includes one deer tag and two turkey tags.

Are combo licenses worth it?

Yes, if you both hunt and fish. Most states offer 15-50% savings on combo licenses compared to buying hunting and fishing licenses separately. The more you use both privileges, the better the value.

Do combo licenses include big game tags?

Usually no, but Pennsylvania and Wisconsin are notable exceptions. Pennsylvania includes 1 deer tag and 2 turkey tags in their combo. Wisconsin's Sports License includes deer and turkey hunting privileges. Most other states sell tags separately.

What's the difference between combo and sportsman's licenses?

Terms vary by state. Some states call their hunting+fishing bundle a 'combo' while others call it a 'sportsman's license.' Texas calls theirs 'Super Combo.' The key is checking exactly what's included - stamps, tags, permits, etc.

Are combo licenses available to non-residents?

Many states offer non-resident combo licenses, though savings percentages are typically lower than resident combos. Check specific state pricing, as non-resident combos can still exceed $200-400 in western states.

Which stamps are typically included in combo licenses?

This varies widely. Texas Super Combo includes all stamps (upland bird, trout, saltwater). Most combo licenses do NOT include stamps - you'll still need habitat stamps, duck stamps, trout stamps, etc. Always verify what's included before purchasing.
