Random question.... Anyone ever experience or know anyone that had an Indiana hunting or fishing license and then moved out of state...always wondered what happens to that license for the rest of the year but never knew the answer. Take an archery tag for example, is the license still valid for that year only or does it become void immediately and you have to purchase a non-resident tag/license?

It should be valid till you become a resident of your new state you live in. Think you have to be a resident of a state for about a year. Friend of mine moved to Wyoming and had to buy non-resident tags for the first year.

Think it should be valid for the entire license season. Just like the youth license, even if they turn 18 after buying the youth license it is still good for them for that entire year. They don’t need to buy new licenses.

What if you have a lifetime license and move out of the state?

What if you have a lifetime license and move out of the state? It’s still valid...

Now it really Tees me off that I didn't get my lifetime. The year I sent my check in was the year they stopped selling it. They returned my check with a "We are sorry that license is no longer available" 😢

Yep, that's another reason why I got mine. If I moved out out of state it is still valid.

It was my third year hunting and I had heard that they were going to stop selling them. So I drove to Indianapolis and bought mine the day before gun season. It paid for itself in about 7.5 years.

Don't have much to add, other than I'm a bit surprised that you can move and take up residence in another state, then return here and legally hunt with a previously purchased lifetime license. In just about all other matters, it would be considered claiming residency in two states and illegal.

When life time lic were sold no where was it a stipulation that you must always live here.... hence the term “life time”.

Actually, they when they were sold there is a disclaimer stating that they were in leu of all resident licenses. They were also treated in that manner for years. At some point somebody claimed the lifetime part was more important than the resident part and the shift was made to honor the lifetime over the resident because eventually it would become a mute point.

So it still appears to be a little murky as far as the annual licenses go. I can see how it could be valid for lifetime when those were available, but surely this has effected someone at some point. Maybe they just figured heck with it and tossed it. I'd think of someone buys a bird stamp or deer tags, etc. and then moved, it should be honored for that season or at least refunded your money? Just my .02

Nothing to toss with a lifetime license. You get a number and thats what you need to show/tell the DNR.
