That's what I was thinking, but wasn't sure.It is my understanding that you can continue to use your license even if you move out of state.

Understandable they want to make sure you are actually an OK resident before they sell you this benefit to hunt more cost effectively in OK but its still an absurd metric to use. I have proof of residency with a OK Drivers license, two vehicles registered in OK, utility bills for a rental home in OK, voters registration and proof of job in OK. The ODW could do a little extra with verification and make it easier on new resident hunters. Just like mentioned further down this post where a guy can have a lifetime license then move out of state permanently but still retain his license. Thats really no different than a guy illegeally claiming residencey with an OK drivers license but living in a bordering state.The 6 month wait makes it a little less easy and appealing for a non-resident to obtain Oklahoma “residency” just to purchase the lifetime license.
True, and it does suck; but the cost of getting a hunting license in the meantime while waiting on your 6 month mark is negligible, especially compared the the ODWC’s cost of having to do more in depth checks on people. From what I have seen and heard, they’re already stretched pretty thin and underfunded as is.Understandable they want to make sure you are actually an OK resident before they sell you this benefit to hunt more cost effectively in OK but its still an absurd metric to use.
