Worldwide Spearing Regulations Websites

[Quetzal]

I suggest having a Locked sticky w/ links to state and country DNR rules sites. It sure would help when you get ready to travel to some other state or country. I suggest a list of states and countries and then someone act as a Mod. and we all can PM a link to the state or country and the Mod can verify the site then post it in the locked sticky. BTW I'm not suggesting I be a MOD. I'm an idea man not an implementer.

For example:
