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. 1Buy the Veteran Combined Hunting licence at $10 — it carries general game and habitat, small game and fur-bearer, the bundle that costs everyone else $62.
  2. 2Add the $10 veteran fishing licence, and the one $2 certificate covers the year.
  3. 3This sits beside the property tax credit: the same 50% floor opens both.

CorrectionSecondary summaries circulate a "$3 combined licence at 100%" figure. The department’s current table shows $10 at 50%+ for the combined hunting licence and $10 for fishing, with no separate 100% tier — the $3 figure does not appear.

Sources

Why only one source type: The department’s own pricing table — reachable only through a rendered browser — states both veteran licences, the 50% gate and the standard prices they discount from.
