Pheasant Youth Opener

I've written the WDFG...  Hopefully they get back to me before this week-end.

I looked it up and what I gather from page 21
 It is unlawful to:
"Possess wildlife taken by another person unless
you have in possession a written statement
showing name, address, license and/or tag
number, date, county and area it was taken in,
and the signature of the hunter who killed it."

You could carry it for them if you take a secretary and a filing cabinet with you.
I have talked to a fair share of wardens before and most understand that there is the written law and the intended purpose of the law. Like I said, he/she would have to be in a bad mood.

I believe that regulation is for someone giving you their game, and you transporting it without them?  I don't think it would matter in the field? 

I would agree, but that is the intended vs. the written that I talked about. If you read it in the book it sounds pretty all encompassing. but

Since their allowed 3 birds...  I'll write up enough agreement's before we hit the field...  Just in case they need help toting em..  That way I ought to cover all the bases

Well..  I just received the answer to my question...   e-mailed the WDFW.. and got a reply today from the local GW:

Hello Wayne and Diane, I got your request, but I was off hunting in Idaho. There is no problem carrying game for an individual who takes it legally.  In this case a juvenile shoots a pheasant and wants you to carry it for him.  No problem.  Call me anytime.  If I do not answer, I am usually off.  
 
Take care both of you,
Don W.

Sounds good, I would hang on to that letter just in case someone were to interpret the law different. That way you cover yourself.

Wayne, thanks for sharing the answer.  I have never thought about it and am glad to see that it is ok.
