Go to Alabama DNA website and look at current hunting and fishing regulation. Without establishing proof of residence (dr lic, bill receipt, etc) you will need non-resident ($$$) license.
Yeah that is pretty much what I surmised. I was just hoping that there was some other way to get one if anyone had any experience doing so.
What I did figure out is that a lifetime license is still good even if you move out of state for the rest of your life. I was thinking use a family members residence in Alabama for a few months get the license then change my residency back to Georgia.
