Daily Bag Limit/Possession Limit?
« on: January 24, 2011, 08:26:02 PM »
Can someone tell me how many ducks I'm allowed to shoot in one day.  It looks like 7, but the possession limit is 14?  Same with Canada Geese, it says 5, but the possession limit is 10?  I'm not sure if this matters, but all I'm going to be hunting are greenhead mallards and canada geese.  Please let me know when you get a chance and thank you in advance.

You can shoot 7 ducks a day, some species have restrictions.

You can shoot 4 geese a day, not 5, the 5 limit is for the early goose season, there are also some restrictions on geese as well.

Daily bag limit is how many you can shoot in one day.  Possession limit is the total number you can have in your possession.  If the possession limit is 14, you cannot possess more than 14 at one time.  If you shot 7 yesterday, and 7 today, then you can't shoot any tomorrow.

Right you can have 14 in your possession, but you can still go hunting the day after you have 14, as long as you dont have them in your possesion at the time you are hunting.

As long as you didn't kill all 14 on the same day you're fine. :chuckle:

Yeah, I don't know what I would do with 14 ducks in one day anyway.  I'd have to clear some room in the freezer I guess. :)

That's not true.  Possession limit is 14, period.  You can't have more than 14 ducks in your possession at any given time.  Nowhere does it say "in the field".  Possession means at your house, at your camp, in your freezer.  What may be an out here is if they are processed like into pepperoni.  If the game warden shows up at your house though and you have more than 14 ducks, I think you're screwed.

That is my understanding as well.  If you have 14 breasted ducks in your freezer, you aren't allowed to shoot any more until some of them are consumed.  14 total in possession whether in the freezer of in the field.  They wouldn't normally enforce that way, but it is the letter of the law if they want to.

Gopher, that has always been my understanding as well.
I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.

I'm not quite sure about that. what about trout fishing every day and filling up a freezer? I always thought it was in posession when you were stopped and checked, especially with long seasons with daily limits.

My understanding has always been that it didn't matter where you possessed them, just that you possessed them
