Lifetime Appreciation Hunting Licence from a 40% Rating

A resident veteran rated 40% or more may buy a LIFETIME hunting licence in place of an annual one. The 40% gate is lower than the 50% that opens the annual appreciation hunting licence's cheaper tier, so this is a distinct product with its own threshold. Price varies with age from 50, and again at a 100% permanent and total rating.

What this benefit is

A resident veteran rated 40% or more may buy a LIFETIME hunting licence in place of an annual one. The 40% gate is lower than the 50% that opens the annual appreciation hunting licence's cheaper tier, so this is a distinct product with its own threshold. Price varies with age from 50, and again at a 100% permanent and total rating.

What it's worth: A lifetime hunting licence instead of an annual one, from a 40% rating

  • This is a LIFETIME licence bought once, not a discount on the annual appreciation hunting licence.
  • Its gate is 40%, which is lower than the thresholds on the annual appreciation hunting prices. A veteran at 40% who was told the annual licence starts at 50% should still ask about this one.
  • The price varies with age and is lower from 50, and again at a 100% permanent and total rating.
  • Exact prices are not published on the pages reviewed, so none is asserted here.

Who is entitled to it

  • You served in the U.S. armed forces.
  • Your rating is 40% or higher.
  • Your home is in Alabama.

Not sure whether that describes you?

Answer a few questions about this benefit specifically — we only ask what this one actually depends on, and we stop as soon as we know.

How to claim it

  1. 1Ask for the LIFETIME hunting licence specifically, at the Probate Judge or Licence Commissioner in your county of residence.
  2. 2Take the VA letter stating your disability level. 40% is the gate for this product.
  3. 3Mention your age if you are 50 or over, and a 100% permanent and total rating if you hold one — both change the price.
  4. 4Weigh it against the annual licence by how many more seasons you expect to hunt. Bought once, it stops being an annual errand.
