So this year I will be hunting a friends property near Oneonta. Even though I am living in NY now and have for a year, I have not changed my drivers license over yet from Vermont. I assume this means that I need to purchase a non resident license? If not, what do I need to show to prove my residency here in NY? Does a phone bill or lease copy legally work for this?

I plan to hunt deer only, during archery, rifle, and muzzleloader seasons. If I have to go the non resident route, do I have to purchase the Non Resident Big Game, Non Resident Bowhunting, and Non Resident Muzzleloading licenses? Do I have to purchase the Non Resident Super Sportsmen License as well? What do I need?

If I decide to only hunt archery, do I only need the non resident bowhunting license or that combined with the Non Resident big game?

Any help is appreciated.
