Is lifetime hunt and fish worth it?

If you are young, you can't beat it. I spend $63.00 a year for the combo with archery stamp and trapping license. At the curret prices, I will pay the same for the combo as for a lifetime in about 14 yrs. Of course, the lifetime doesn't include the trapping license. For me, it's easier to come up with the $63.00 every year than the_what is it now $800.00_ for the lifetime.
