State Game Agencies
Make sure you get licensed before you hunt or fish! Buying your license is important to the future of wildlife habitat and fisheries. Below is a catalog of all state game agencies, a link to their online licensing portals, and links to public land/water resources & maps. Keep in mind, some websites are better than others. Hopefully this list will make it easier to navigate the online maze of information.
I am trying to build the best hunting and fishing database ever assembled, but I need some help. Odds are good that I have missed something. If you know of better public land/water resources, or you find a broken link on this page, please send me an email.
