If you are not from Wisconsin, prepare to pay more to hunt and fish in the state. For the first time since 2005, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources raised the prices of its non-resident licenses for hunting and fishing. While some fees like the annual fishing license only went up $5, the cost of a deer hunting license for a non-resident during the season went up $40 to $200. The fee increases announced on Tuesday were a part of the 2023-2025 budget signed into law by Governor Tony Evers last week. You can see the full fee schedule below.
