This is from the DFG website.Looks like your a resident!

Q. What are the residency requirements for California Hunting or Sport Fishing Licenses?
The following persons are eligible to purchase resident hunting or sport fishing licenses in California:

• Any person who has resided continually in California for six months immediately prior to applying for a license;
• Any person on active duty with the U.S. armed forces; and
• Any Job Corps Enrollee.

Active duty should get the license fee waived completely

Go to Walmart, most shops will make u pay the non residency. But my brother inlaw is from Texas. And he was able to get the regular price for his 1yr. It also depends on the person who sells it to u.

You are considered a resident because of orders saying you have to be here just have your license with military id most places around here wont wven ask because thwy are so used to military.

When I was stationed at Pendleton I always bought my license on base. There was no "?" then. Not sure where you're stationed, but if it is Pendleton then go to the four seasons store and pick it up. Once you get one, it will always pop up in yrs to come as military res

From page three of the Ca. DFG Handbook. Seems pretty straight forward,
clerks need to prove you wrong. Print this and take it with you.

the way I read the question and the answer i posted per the DFG Handbook isn't about a "discount" it's about the definition of residency. Seems to me that Active military would be considered residents and by DFG Rules get Residency rates.

If you are stationed here, you are a resident. Go to any of the shops and tell them you are a resident. All my buddies got there's for a good price.

Asking for a discount on your fishing license is like asking the DMV for a discount on your registration fees.....it ain't going to happen.

If your concern is whether or not a tackle shop or retail store will recognize your residency just go on the DFG website and fill out the application there, you can print a temporary until the original comes in the mail.

I'm in the gun club and I didn't have to pay the $100 + fee. Just show them your cac and your state Id and your good. The sporting goods in the mcx should help you out or you can contact your rec center for more info. If you need more info your local bait and tackle has info posted on the wall.
