Daily Bag Limit/Possession Limit?

[sakoshooter]

Fishncliff,
Your post stated his response was 'used some of them'.
There is no " did something with it" defined in any rule, state or fed.
Used some could mean: Prepared some. Processed some. Canned some. Brined some. Frozen some.
Most of my duck/goose breasts get combined with my venison scraps and taken to Mt View Meats for their famous North Country Hot summer sausage.

And the idea of a punch card, please keep that idea to yourself. The Fed Duck Stamp already takes care of this. So does the State Duck Stamp.

Yeh I'm tryin to get a definition for that statement. So far everyone tells me the same 3 choices.
I will let you know.

You know, thinking about this, we have the perfect case study right here on this forum. I'm going to pass a couple of threads by a local duck god, on to some Federal Wardens that I know. I'm sure his freezer is full of ducks that they might be interested in seeing and we'll all get to watch the interpretation of the law in action. It might take awhile, as they like to build solid cases against guys, but they'll straighten it out.

Yeah really *censored*ty to jump on someones success who takes the time to post on here
friggin internet cops suck, get a life dude !

I have been tempted to refer this forum to the FW guy I am discussing this with,
but
My goal is to get a definition to the current rules, or change them, so we can all follow the law, like we do, and keep our duckaroni stash.
Not give someone ammo to unnecessarily screw someone else.
 

Goober, if you know someone is poaching, just turn em in.

Below is the response I got from a State Game Warden. I've know this person for many years. She also told me she double checked this with her Sergeant. She's been working waterfowl areas for many years. Used to work the Nisqually area. Probably the most curteous wardens I've ever dealt with. Name withheld for obvious reasons.

Copied and Pasted:
1st email response: Well what I can say so far is Possession Limit is the number of daily limits allowed to be kept in the field or transit.  Doesn’t have anything to do with what is at your residence.

2nd email response: Wow.  I am not sure who is who on there.  But right when I think they are getting it right someone thinks they are clarifying it and has it completely wrong.  The definition of POSSESSION LIMIT – in the pamphlet is:  The number of daily limits allowed to be kept in the field or in transit. In the field or in transit is ANYWHERE other than at an ordinary residence.  An ordinary residence is where you live.

[  The definition of POSSESSION LIMIT – in the pamphlet is:  The number of daily limits allowed to be kept in the field or in transit.

I haven't heard back from the Sgt. from F&W, that I am e-mailing, on his definition , but I think the only way to clarify this whole mess is to have the above verbage, or something similar, entered into the regulation pamphlet.

[sakoshooter]

I agree Fishncliff. I stated that to the officer I'm talking with. She's still waiting for clarification from above and then she'll email me back.
I asked her to take the time to read the entire thread so she could get a feeling for what the average law abiding duck hunter was up against. She said she did.
We'll see how this finalizes. If it goes the wrong way, we're gonna have to submit a 'Rule Change' to go into effect immediately. I believe 'rule changes' have to go before the legislature and they're session is almost over for this year I believe.

Soooo...can we hunt coyotes at night??

[sakoshooter]

As long as you don't shoot more than the daily bag limit.

[Fishnclifff]

Heard back today, but it was the same old same old.
Eat it or give it away.
If ya gift it, gotta have a tag and records.
He said those are the only rules. The state law follows the fed law.
I did ask him if and how to get the rules reworded to allow for processing.

[sakoshooter]

This is a perfect example of one hand not knowing what the other hand is doing.

I'm still waiting on my end for final explaination.

I guess what they need is a punchcard to control the number of ducks each hunter takes. They could give you the first punchard free with the purchase of the usual licenses needed for waterfowl hunting, good for whatever the possession limit is for each species. Once you fill that one up you could purchase another one for say, $20. Would be a great money maker for the state, plus it would only be fair that those who take more of the resource, pay proportionally more. I think I'll send this idea to the appropriate people at the DFW.   

Some states do this. Some states also have transport tags for each duck/goose you shoot.
