But if you are asking how technically it is done - I use an electronic format (regulations in PDF that everybody downloads) and use copy-paste to get info as is from regs. So I don't type anything (to avoid typing errors).

P.S. fresh example or regs discrepancy: 2017 Black Bear in WMUS 26-76 in printed regs and in early electronic regs (from April 2017) was opening on Sep 6. Now if you look at electronic regs it is Sep 5! :(

But nobody can guarantee that info is 100% true. So why use it? ;) I can only suggest my view: use it for general planning, browsing what is opening where. When you see in regs lines like "WMUs 2, 3, 4, 18A, 24, 27" - can you picture in your head where are all these WMUs? Are they adjacent or scattered? The apps allows you to visualize it. Click on a map and check in this specific area - what seasons are there. I find it convenient. But definitely definitely before actually hunting or fishing double check the regs. Unless you know your seasons by hart :)

This is how I've been using the app, it helps when hunting public land in different WMUs to be able to visualize them on a map in a group then confirm in the regs for the spots I plan to visit. Especially with the new bag limits for small game, I've been trying to memorize what is what for this season.

I was going to download this, but all the reviews say an older version is better. Is the new bersion worth downloading?

Yes it works fine
