Increased hunting, fishing license fees get final OK from Michigan House

Increased hunting, fishing license fees get final OK from Michigan House | MLive.com:
 "If signed into law by Snyder, as expected, the new fees would take effect in March of 2014 and would vary by species.

A typical deer license currently costs $15 for most Michigan residents. It would cost $30 under the new system -– including a $10 base license plus a $20 deer license.
A hunter who wants to purchase a second deer license would pay an additional $20.

Costs for other hunting licenses would not rise as much.
On top of the $10 base license a hunter would pay $12 for a waterfowl license, $15 for turkey, $25 for bear and $100 for an elk or wolf license.

Most fishing fees would also rise. A 24-hour fishing license would go from $7 to $10 for most residents, and a 72-hour license would increase from $21 to $30.
The state would stop offering a $15 annual restricted fishing license but would reduce the cost of a year-long, all-species fishing license from $28 to $25."
