[QUOTE="Retired Educator, post: 252763, member: 3373"] I've never met a game warden who didn't answer a question by stating the law. That doesn't mean they don't have some discretion in applying the law when they come across something that isn't exactly kosher. A good question is "What about snowbirds, winter Texans, etc?" My guess would be they have to have an established residence at either site and make sure they don't try to buy a resident license in each state. Other things that establish residency is voting, drivers license, things that indicate you are living there permanently. Bills like water, sewer, electricity, taxes, don't necessarily count as it is legal to own a house in more than one state. Hell, people buy motor homes in ND, license them in MT (no sales tax) and then live in them in the south while maintaining resident status in ND. Someone asked "How are you going to get caught?" Exactly, you go to a game check station, show them your ND Driver's License, your ND Moose,elk, whatever license while driving a pickup with ND plates, who's going to check further? Was riding with a guy in another state when we went through a DUI checkpoint. Driver showed a license from a different state than we were driving, driving a car licensed in yet another state. 3 different states involved and all the officer cared about was "Have you been drinking tonight?" "No", "OK, go ahead." [/QUOTE]
