As I am getting ready to move out of state for college, I wanted to know if I would be able to obtain a resident hunting/fishing license since I would be attending a school in the state. If not, do you think it would be worth the money to pay such high fees to enjoy my favorite pastime?

I know when i went to college my roomate was from out of state. All he had to do was change his drivers licence and he was able to get a resident fishing licence.
But before you do that check the price difference between resident and non-resident. In some states its not that bad, and it would not warrent the hassle of the DMV.

Your best bet is to look up the DNR or Dept of Game and Fish website for the state you're college is in to see what they say. Usually getting a DL from that state for 30 - 90 days establishes residency. The website should tell you what establishes residency and what a non-resident license costs. If you do this and still intend on hunting in the state you're from you'll need to weigh the costs of non-resident licenses there as well. Some states honor a lifetime license if you move to a different state.
