I have had my lifetime license for over 14 years. Bought it right before I moved out of state. Best investment I've ever made. I've been back to hunt every year since.
I had the same question though about being counted in the resident quota for draws. I had a couple emails from the IFG stating that I was indeed included in the resident quota.
This year I found out they were right. I drew a Unit 6 moose tag putting in for the first time for moose. When the draw odds were posted, sure enough no nonresidents drew the tag that I drew. Now I know for sure. I just had bad luck for the first 13 years.....
