How to get resident hunting license in Utah?

I live in Texas, and just recently got into hunting. I pay $25 for a hunting license, as a resident, but a non-resident pays $325. (Wowzers!)

I am in my last year of high school right now. This coming summer, I will be living and working in Idaho. After the summer, I will be going to college in Utah, where of course I will be living.

How do I go about being a counted as a "resident" so that I can purchase a hunting license without paying such an insane amount. (I am assuming the fees are similar state-to-state.) I will most definitely be residing in Utah... Do I need to get one of their driver's licenses? Live there for a certain length of time?

Thanks.

What if I also get a job and earn income in the state?

I have every intention of remaining there, and I am actually paying in-state tuition since my Dad went to college there.

So basically what I'm understanding is I have to wait until after college is over 4-5 years down the road, then wait 6 months after that in order to be a resident? ..... That's lunacy 0_o...

I don't know how Utah does things (why I'm asking here) but when I got my Texas hunting license, they just took my DL and asked for my SSN. They didn't want any utility bills or anything.

I finally decided to actually look up the cost... A combination non-resident hunting/fishing license is $70, instead of $30... It's annoying... but it's certainly not the $300 extra Texas charges.

I'd certainly prefer to save the $40... But that just barely buys a tank of gas... It's not as big a deal as $300.

Even just a driver's license isn't good enough. You have to have actually resided there for six months prior to getting the resident permit. If you can get the driver's license six months before you need the hunting license, you'll get the resident rate. I know someone who did not know this and claimed resident status for his hunting license after having only been in the state for four months. They not only backcharged him the fees, but he almost got in big trouble over it. So yes, they can and do check.

Deer licenses have been first required in Michigan in 1895 at a fee of $0.50 for citizens and $25 for non-citizens. 14,477 resident licenses have been bought whilst in comparison with in common terms 22 non-resident licenses.

I would find the laws and read them. In the state that I live in, if you are enrolled in college, you can purchase a resident license. Utah may have a similar law.

depends on the state......some states its 6 months others its 90 days...and u have to have bills with ur name on them NOT just a DL....


** btw if u are just attending college u will be considered OUT OF STATE RESIDENT....almost without exception....especially since ur parents are paying for college and u are under 25 so legally have to declare ur parents on ur taxes...

** sucks but its the law...
