If a wildlife violator has hunting or fishing privileges revoked in a member state, the violator looses those privileges in every state in the compact where the violation is a revocable offense. In addition to Wyoming, the other members of the compact are Montana, Colorado, Utah, Oregon, Nevada, Arizona, and New Mexico. Moose often have light brown legs, while elk legs are dark brown. Moose lack the elk's characteristic white rump patch. Moose have a long, broad snout with large, overhanging upper lip.
Elk have a more deer-like, slender snout.
Moose are likely to not run as fast or far when encountering humans. Sometimes moose act completely oblivious to humans. It is the hunters responsibility to be able to recognize and understand the habitats of their quarry. Hunters are reminded detailed tagging instructions are printed on each big game license and regulation. It is illegal to shoot from or across a public road when hunting or target shooting.
