You basically are still considered a resident in the application process. If I'm wrong someone correct me. Brian Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oak Report post Posted September 19, 2011 Brian is right. If you can afford it, definitely buy the lifetime license before you move. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hawkeye Report post Posted September 19, 2011 Thanks guys. I think I will buy a lifetime license and then I don't have to worry about it. It looks like I would have to apply for non-resident big game tags but wouldn't have to buy a non-resident license. Thanks again for the info. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
