                                FISH AND GAME
                                  CHAPTER 10
                STATE BOUNDARY WATERS -- RECIPROCAL AGREEMENTS
    36-1006.  STATE BOUNDARY LANDS -- RECIPROCITY -- PURPOSE -- COOPERATIVE
AGREEMENTS AUTHORIZED -- ENFORCEMENT. (a) The right to hunt big game in herd
units where the herd unit incorporates the boundary line between a contiguous
state and the state of Idaho by the holder of either a valid contiguous state
or Idaho license therefor in accordance with the laws and rules of the
respective state is hereby recognized and made lawful.
    (b)  The purpose of this section is to avoid the conflict, confusion and
difficulty of an attempt to find the exact locations of the state boundary
while hunting big game, and to allow management of big game resources which
cross state boundaries.  Provided, however, nothing in this section shall be
construed to authorize:
    1.  The holder of a contiguous state big game hunting license to hunt in
    Idaho outside of a defined boundary herd unit subject to reciprocal
    hunting.
    2.  The holder of an Idaho big game hunting license to hunt in a
    contiguous state outside of a defined boundary herd unit subject to
    reciprocal hunting.
    3.  The holder of licenses for both Idaho and a contiguous state to
    exercise the privileges of both such licenses at the same time.
    (c)  The director is authorized to enter into reciprocal agreements with
the directors of fish and game departments of contiguous states for the
purpose of recognizing license rights of both Idaho and contiguous state big
game hunting license holders to hunt in herd units which incorporate the
boundary line between the state of Idaho and a contiguous state, whether or
not said lands are within the state of Idaho or the contiguous state.
    (d)  For the purposes of enforcing the provisions of this section, the
courts of this state sitting in the various counties which incorporate
boundary herd units, and the officers of this state empowered to enforce laws
pertaining to fish and game are hereby given and shall have jurisdiction over
the entire boundary herd unit. Concurrent jurisdiction with the court and
administrative officers of contiguous states over said boundary herd units is
hereby expressly recognized and established.
