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.

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.

From page three of the Ca. DFG Handbook. Seems pretty straight forward,
