Wisconsin budget carries license fee hikes for nonresidents

Nonresidents will pay more for hunting and fishing licenses now that Wisconsin’s new 2023-25 state budget is in effect.

Residents will see no increase in license costs, but hunters, trappers, and anglers also will see few new major programs in the Department of Natural Resources’ (DNR) new budget despite the anticipated increase in license dollars from the nonresident fee increase.
The nonresident deer hunting license went from $160 to $200. Nonresidents also pay a $2 wildlife damage surcharge and a 75-cent issuing fee.
