Pretty weird that you have to register the vehicle first. Seems like it would be the other way around if there is to be a requirement that one be first. Makes no sense to me.

OFA, I closed on the property in mid October. I won't be considered a resident until mid April... 6 months... My registration on the truck is up in Feb so I'll register it here then. Once the truck is registered here, then I'll change over my driver's license to TX as well. They say I have to do the truck 1st. And I have to have my driver's license to present in order to qualify for the homestead exemption and have to have that in place no later than March (Feb is better). The AG exemption has already been filed and accepted (thank God), so at least the property taxes won't make me (as) broke.

Please don't think badly of me but
I would have to poach one

All state income comes from other than income tax, so they want to make sure the vehicle is registered and taxes paid before they give the license. I've considered putting the truck in trust so I can say I don't own it. Then they have no choice but to give me the license... they can't force me to own a vehicle to get a license... But the registration runs out in Feb anyways, so I'd have to renew one way or the other...

There's plenty of poaching that goes on down here. I try to obey the game laws and can't see killing a deer out of season or without a license unless it was a matter of starvation. The game laws are there to try and protect and maintain the wildlife. It's actually mostly paid for by sportsmen/hunters/fishers/outdoors-persons taxes on equipment/supplies and license fees. It's for the benefit of the hunters and those who contribute in the long run. They also have a pretty comprehensive and active anti-poaching campaign down here. I thought about putting that 8 point buck down as it was limping, but it was moving with little effort so the wound couldn't have been that major or life threatening. I considered contacting fish and game and asking them about it.

Made it drink the whole thing straight down, then dispatched it when it was too drunk to stand???

Naw, being from NC was in the back of a PickUp and got a 'Lucky Toss' and hit the deer while the truck was Moving There's not too much difference between Ms and NC
