The purpose of this information bulletin is to provide a compilation of the fees as approved by the Natural Resources Commission for hunting, fishing, and trapping licenses issued by the Department of Natural Resources (DNR). Minimum fees for hunting, fishing, and trapping licenses are established at IC 14-22-12-1(a); however, the Commission is authorized to set fees above the minimum in IC 14-22-12-1(b).
