Looking at the differences in resident license fees in OR, ID, and WA, I think that WDFW and the WA Legislature need to give careful consideration to how much more WA can reasonably charge its residents for licenses when OR and ID typically offer better quality and quantity hunting and fishing. I don't object to what I pay for my WA licenses, but I'm thinking of doing more of my fishing out of state because of the quality that's available. It's not the cost of non-resident OR and ID licenses that keep me from fishing there. It's the amount of free time I have available to travel there.
