2. Choose “Check-In To WMA”. 
3. Select WMA: 
   • Pick the WMA you want to check into. 
   • Leave the time as “now” or schedule up to 24 hours in advance. 
   • Provide your license plate number and tap “Next”. 
4. Select your activity (hunting, hiking, etc.), and tap “Next”. 
   • Review your information and update any incorrect details before proceeding.

During Your Trip

Checking Out 

1. Tap Checkout:
