The trapping license shall have the name of the licensee contained thereon, and every trap set by a licensee shall carry upon it a license identification, insignia, or number in any design, size and form that the director shall designate. No license shall be issued to any nonresident from a state which does not afford to Rhode Island residents trapping privileges.
