Yes, you do have to be a resident. Also you have to complete the class. Then provide the GPS location along with the scalp/two ears and the lower jaw.
My nephew has turned in a few that he shot when he was with me in the last couple of years.
Luckynv you are right and I was wrong. I just took the cirtification course again and it doesn't say anything about being a resident or a non resident. They must of change it after I first looked at it years ago.
I'm going to have to see if I can pick up a few bucks this coming deer hunt while I am over there.
