Prices are for each state's standard annual adult license, the base or small game license, depending on the state. States structure their licenses differently (some require extra stamps, and some have no resident-only license), so open a state's page for the full list. Tennessee and Mississippi do not sell a hunting-only resident license, so their resident prices are hunt and fish combination licenses. Some states are missing because we have no verified standard annual price for them yet. Always confirm with the official agency before you buy.
