The legislature adopted a version of the Interstate Wildlife Violator Compact effective August 1, 2001. Resolution of this issue requires an examination of North Dakota's version of the Interstate Wildlife Violator Compact. Gray argues the Department erred in suspending his North Dakota hunting privileges on the basis of his Wyoming conviction for trespass to hunt. Questions of law, including the interpretation of a statute, are fully reviewable on appeal from an administrative decision. We decide only whether a reasoning mind reasonably could have decided the agency's findings were proven by the weight of the evidence from the entire record. We exercise restraint in deciding whether the agency's findings of fact are supported by a preponderance of the evidence, and we do not make independent findings or substitute our judgment for that of the agency. We review the decision of the administrative agency in the same manner as the district court. Our scope of review is limited in appeals from decisions of administrative agencies. The conclusions of law and order of the agency do not sufficiently explain the agency's rationale for not adopting any contrary recommendations by a hearing officer or an administrative law judge. The findings of fact made by the agency do not sufficiently address the evidence presented to the agency by the appellant. The conclusions of law and order of the agency are not supported by its findings of fact. The findings of fact made by the agency are not supported by a preponderance of the evidence. The rules or procedure of the agency have not afforded the appellant a fair hearing. The provisions of this chapter have not been complied with in the proceedings before the agency. The order is in violation of the constitutional rights of the appellant. The order is not in accordance with the law. В§В 28-32-46, the district court must affirm an order of an administrative agency unless it finds any of the following are present: Gray challenges the Department's suspension of his hunting privileges on numerous grounds. Gray's appeal to this Court is timely under N.D.C.C. The district court had jurisdiction under N.D. Gray appealed to the district court, which upheld the Department's decision. The Department adopted the ALJ's recommendations. В§В 20.1-16-03 authorized the Department's actions. The Administrative Law Judge ('ALJ') recommended that the Department's suspension of Gray's privileges be affirmed because N.D.C.C. After receiving information about Gray's Wyoming suspension, the Department informed Gray by letter on October 12, 2004, that his North Dakota hunting, fishing, and trapping privileges were also suspended from September 21, 2004, through January 1, 2006. North Dakota and Wyoming are members of the Interstate Wildlife Violator Compact. As a result of the conviction, Gray's privileges to obtain hunting, fishing, and trapping licenses in Wyoming were 'suspended for the remainder of 2004 and all of 2005.' Gray's conviction was upheld on appeal to the Wyoming district court. While hunting in Wyoming, Gray had driven his truck across private property posted with 'No Trespassing' and 'No Hunting' signs to access public property for the purpose of hunting on the public property. On April 16, 2004, Gray, a North Dakota resident, was convicted by a Wyoming circuit court jury of trespass to hunt in violation of Wyo. We conclude Gray has failed to establish that his statutory or constitutional rights were violated by the Department's suspension of his hunting privileges in North Dakota on the basis of his violation of a Wyoming hunting law, and we affirm. Gray appealed from a judgment(1) affirming the North Dakota Game and Fish Department's order suspending Gray's hunting, fishing, and trapping privileges in North Dakota from September 21, 2004, through January 1, 2006.
