Just out of curiosity, what would a season of small game hunting in the US cost?

This would vary among the states as there truly is no "American system" {my statement before was a very sweeping generalization} since game management is for the most part conducted by the separate states, but hunting licenses for a year are relatively inexpensive.

For example, here in Idaho, a resident, adult "Hunting" license costs $12.75. That allows a person to hunt grouse, rabbits, snowshoe hare, jackrabbits and coyotes {etc...} on state, Federal or unposted private land. Private landowners may charge a fee to use their land, or may post it and prevent access by others.

A "Sportsman's Package" license costs $117.25 and allows a resident adult to hunt AND fish the following:

1 deer, 1 elk, 1 turkey, 1 bear, 1 mountain lion, small game, general fishing {trout, bass, etc} + salmon and steelhead.

Trapping licenses cost $26.75 per year, and waterfowl are Federally regulated and require an additional tax stamp.

Now, Erik...

If you are contemplating a new rifle for hundeførere, why not a short 9,3x57???
