Anyone know if a guy buys a resident lifetime small game/ habitat license and then retires to Florida and no longer qualifies as a resident, does he lose this lifetime license?
Yes. By Iowa law, they do not recognize "dual residency".

I've never looked into Iowa but I was born in Nebraska and have a lifetime Small Game License from there and can still hunt on it even though I live in Iowa. I still have to buy the habitat stamp each year. However, for any big game or Turkey I still have to apply for or purchase non-resident licenses. Guess I'm not much help.

That's the same as it is in Arizona. If I purchase a lifetime combo license, I can still use it for small game and fishing if I move out of state. I will have to pay NR fees for big game tags if I move, but I won't have to buy a NR hunting license every year. Granted that is Arizona's program and not Iowa's, but I can't help but wonder why they wouldn't recognize it (AZ doesn't recognize dual residency, either).

It is going to be a good fall!
Minnesota once you buy it, good forever even if you move

I would certainly support that here in IA too. Not sure that isn't the case already but I don't see it in writing, yay or nay. I'm sure it is there somewhere though.
