Just went on the Mass fishing website and noticed it’s cheaper to fish Mass NON resident $ 37.50 than it is to fish NH resident and they still offer free 70 and older license why is NH so overpriced
If I had to guess why the cost is so high I would guess it’s because of the way F&G is structured in NH. F&G I believe is still independent, and because of this the cost of our licenses is higher. If someone has a better/more accurate rationale please correct me.
. the fishing in Mass sucks. ... why would anyone in New Hampshire want to buy a mass. license.. I buy one ( mass. resident) each year and use it to trap bait and catch a few puny tank scrubber rainbows.... I do my "real" fishing in new Hampshire and in Maine.. but thanks for spend your money here.. I spend my share all winter in new hampshire
This and because we have fund Search & Rescue, which is complete bullsh*t. If S&R came out of the General Fund (F&B tax, tolls, etc) as it should instead of Fish & Game budget, licenses would be cheaper.
