‘Tis the season for searching high and low for the perfect gift—and the Georgia Department of Natural Resources’ Wildlife Resources Division says there’s an easy idea for the outdoor lover in your life: a hunting or fishing license.

The Georgia Department of Natural Resources’ Wildlife Resources Division says whether you choose a hunting license, fishing license, or a combo, you’re giving more than a piece of paper—you’re giving the gift of time outdoors in the places they love. Options include youth licenses, annual licenses, two-year licenses, and lifetime licenses, making it easy to match the gift to the person on your list.

For families with young outdoor enthusiasts, the Resident Youth Sportsman’s License is a popular pick. It costs $15, is available for Georgia residents under age 16, and includes both hunting and fishing privileges. The Georgia Department of Natural Resources’ Wildlife Resources Division says it stays valid through age 17 and helps young hunters and anglers get started with big value for a small price.

Want a gift that truly lasts? The Georgia Department of Natural Resources’ Wildlife Resources Division points to Resident Lifetime Licenses, which mean Georgia hunters and anglers never have to buy another state hunting or fishing license again. Lifetime purchases come with a durable card, and annual licenses can be printed on a Collector’s Hard Card, a credit-card sized option that’s easy to wrap, tuck into a stocking, or slide under the tree. The Georgia Department of Natural Resources’ Wildlife Resources Division notes that some activities may still require additional no-cost permits, harvest records, or—for waterfowl hunters 16 and older—a Federal Duck Stamp.

And if you can’t swing a lifetime license, the Georgia Department of Natural Resources’ Wildlife Resources Division says annual and two-year licenses are still a strong gift. Even better—if the recipient already has a current license, a new same-type license will “stack” onto the existing one, extending their coverage.

The Georgia Department of Natural Resources’ Wildlife Resources Division also reminds Georgians that license purchases support conservation work statewide. Those dollars help manage wildlife and public lands, and they play a role in bringing Georgia additional federal conservation funding.

And one more option for the shopping list: the Georgia Department of Natural Resources’ Wildlife Resources Division says there’s also “Go Outdoors Georgia” merchandise—like tumblers, hats, backpacks, and coolers—that can be added to a purchase, with a note to order early for holiday delivery.
