I know when I was in SC years ago, the senior license was free, but the state had a poll to ask the 'Seniors' if they were willing to chip in $5 for the license to get their State matching money from the Federal Government for each license sold to help the state DNR and all or most said yes, so at the time, their license went from free to $5. This may or may not be true on the matching moneys.

Yeah, I paid the $5 senior fee for a couple of years & then they upped it to $12 (because there were more & more "senior" anglers getting licenses every year & they were losing money). But, $12 to hunt/fish & the trout & upland bird hunting all for that fee is still reasonable IMHO. All the better if the KDFWR receives matching Federal funds.
