Additionally, the Habitat Fee is included, so one can hunt or trap anywhere in the state except for residents that have special licenses for the disabled or landowners and their children hunting on their own land.

This license is required of all residents 16 years old and older to hunt wild geese, brant, wild ducks, snipe, rail, woodcock or coot. This fee must be paid even if a hunting license is not required.
