Go to the regs. Do not trust what anyone says on this site. They have no authority. If your not sure call the Fish and Game folks.
Its not a matter of authority,

Its a matter of helping out another hunter.

A guy asks for help, gets a honest true answer, and that's what you have to say. I guess you are calling everyone on the site a liar. And if you read the post, fish and game would not tell him, and he could not find it in the regs.
