A hunting license is a regulatory or legal mechanism to control recreational and sports hunting.
Hunting may be regulated informally by unwritten law, self-restraint, a moral code, or by governmental laws.
The purposes for requiring hunting licenses include the protection of natural treasures, and raising tax revenue (often, but not always, to dedicated funds).
