Its not terribly higher. KYs is $30 and ours is $28 for hunt fish combo. A GA license for annual hunt/fish combo is $17 but the places where you buy them charge an agent fee of $3 to purchase it which ours don't. SC it's $25 for the annual combo. I have never thought much about TN being incredibly high.
Your issue on the dad coming in was something addressed I believe last year by TWRA centered around visiting trout fishermen. Before you "had" to purchase a $18 trout stamp regardless of fishing just one day for them or year. That left a lot of business at the door for them by out of stater's who were in town and some that lived here. Now they have a resident/non-resident license option type 23/type 83 one day all species for $11 (res) and $16 (non).
