Dog Hunter,
I thought you qualified for the NR Native License?
Are you out of the RS BLM Office?
I was born on a Naval Base outside of the state. When my folks got out of the service they moved back home. They didn't pay MT taxes those years, so that disqualified me.
The other side of the Come Home to Hunt law (the full price, but guaranteed tags) would require me to have a resident blood relative sponsor hunter with me in the field at all times. My mom doesn't hunt anymore and couldn't get to where the critters are anyhow. I don't have any other living family in the area.
I talked to the MFWP for quite a while one day and we just couldn't find a way for my particular situation to meet the required criteria.
No big deal really since there's always left over licenses lately, though it would be nice to get them really cheap. I'm not too concerned.
Yes, I am out of the RS BLM office.
