The Resident Sportsman's License is a single license for residents age 16 to 64 that covers all paid hunting and fishing privileges except the federal Duck Stamp for a one year (365 day) period. Requires successful completion of a Hunter Education course if born on or after 1/1/1961. Sportsman's License holders must also obtain the following if participating in the listed activity: a free annual SIP Permit for saltwater fishing, a free seasonal Waterfowl & Migratory Bird Stamp for hunting migratory birds, and a free seasonal Harvest Record for hunting deer or turkey (the latter two must be renewed after March 1 each year). A federal Duck Stamp is additionally needed to hunt waterfowl. A Quota Alligator Permit is necessary to harvest an alligator. Two or more licenses can be stacked to create a Resident Sportsman's License of any year duration.

The resident Harvest Record is required for all residents that hunt deer or turkey. A new Harvest Record must be obtained each year starting March 1. Additionally requires a Hunting License and a Big Game License to hunt deer or turkey, except resident youth under 16 and resident landowners and their immediate family residing in the same household do not need a Hunting License or Big Game License.
