People who come to Wisconsin to hunt or fish will be paying a bit more.

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources announced a fee increase for many nonresident hunting and fishing licenses.

It’s a result of the final 2024-2025 budget enacted by Governor Tony Evers last week.

The fee changes range from $5 to $40 and are only for nonresidents.

Licenses for the 2023-2024 season are valid through March 31, 2024.

The last time license fees for residents or nonresidents increased was 2005.
