New Year, new prices. Several states (check your local regulations) are implementing fee increases for both resident and non-resident tags starting January 1st, 2026. Before you head out for a late-season sit or start planning your western application strategy, log in to your state’s DNR portal today and check the new rates. Don’t get caught off guard at the counter.
About the Author: Jody Blackwelder
Hi, I'm Jody Blackwelder, the CEO here at Outdoor Crusade.
I’ve always believed "crusade" is the perfect word for the outdoor lifestyle. It’s more than a hobby, it’s a passionate mission. Whether it's hunting, fishing, hiking, or survival, I'm passionate about every subject we cover. My goal is to pass on the heritage and skills found across all these pursuits.
As CEO, my commitment is to you. I work to ensure that every article, guide, and story we publish no matter the topic is authentic, accurate, and inspiring. I’m here to champion the voices of the field, share hard-won wisdom, and help fuel your next adventure.
Thanks for joining the crusade. I'll see you out there.
