I was hiking in Hancock today and wound up having a conversation with Clyde the main guard in there like so many other times.
We talked about different things and the Spring bear hunt came up in conversation. He informed me that if you are Spring bear hunting and in a walk in area only, you can not pick up any sheds while in there. This was news to me because I have done that and showed a game warden what I had found. The game warden's only concern was that it was shed naturally and not cut off. I really would hate to lose my permit over this and thought that I would share to try to help others stay out of trouble with their permit status.
Has anyone else heard of this? Maybe it is common knowledge that I should have known already. I did not see it in the rules, but maybe I just missed it.
I got my formal response in writing from the front office and they say that you can pick up sheds in there as long as you have a valid motorized permit.
