Many fees have remained unchanged since 2006.
INDIANAPOLIS – Indiana hunters, anglers, and trappers will pay more in license fees in 2022.
For the first time since 2006, Indiana DNR Division of Fish & Wildlife has increased fees for hunting, fishing, and trapping licenses.
According to Indiana DNR, the increases will be applied to personal licenses starting with the 2022-2023 license year, which runs April 1, 2022, through March 31, 2023.
Licenses for the 2022-23 year go on sale in January.
The new fees all DFW to maintain core programs including habitat restoration, maintenance of public lands, scientific research and education, and expansion of other services to manage Indiana’s fish and wildlife for everyone to enjoy.
