Wow I really need a fishing license

This is a video of the fish rising to eat at dusk in the slough off of our dock. Don't forget to choose 720p and full screen the video.



There's just a few fish out there. Just a few.

Yes, non-resident hunting licenses cost 12 times more than resident, and fishing licenses almost 4 times as much (which is why I didn't get a fishing license last year).
Comparing tag fees is even more fun:
Resident Tag Fees Idaho Residency Requirements Deer $19.75 Elk $30.75 Bear $11.50 Second Bear $11.50 Mountain Lion $11.50 Second Mountain Lion $11.50 Pronghorn $31.25 Turkey $19.75 Extra Turkey $12.25 Moose, Bighorn Sheep, Mountain Goat (controlled hunt tag only, does not include nonrefundable $6.25 application fee) 166.75 Special Resident Tags / Fees Junior/Senior/DAV Deer Tag * $10.75 Junior/Senior/DAV Elk Tag * $16.50 Junior/Senior/DAV Bear Tag * $6.75 Junior/Senior/DAV Turkey Tag * $10.75

	That deer tag will cost you 15 times as much if you're out of state. Elk? 13 1/2 times. Moose? Yeah that'll be 2 grand out of pocket.
	More importantly, notice the reduced rate for junior tags? Idaho believes in gateway drugs.
