License fees that will increase include: resident small game hunting from $17 to $26; nonresident small game permit from $45 to $65; and the drawing application fee goes from $5 to $10.
Another major change will be the rule requiring all hunters to buy either a hunting license or a combination license before applying for a hunting permit.
There are two exceptions to this rule: If you have a 365-day small game or combination license that's still valid on July 1, you don't have to buy a new hunting or combination license until your license expires. Lifetime license holders are also exempt from this requirement, because the license is valid through their lifetime.
The major change for anglers comes in the form of a requirement for anglers 12 and 13 years old to buy fishing licenses. Resident and nonresident fees for the licenses will cost $5. That change was made to help the state wildlife agency secure federal matching money for fishing program projects.
