Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri,
Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Washington, Wisconsin, Wyoming and Idaho have entered
into a “Wildlife Violator Compact.” This means if your hunting, fishing or trapping license is revoked by any of the member states, all the remaining states
will revoke the same license or privilege for the same time period. In addition, any nonresident who does not satisfy the requirements of an Idaho citation will
have his/her hunting and fishing license revoked in their home state until those requirements are satisfied. For more information on the WVC and a complete
