What do you think possession limit means?

Hold off on your answers/ explanations until this thing runs for a few days.

What about when traveling from hunting location to home/camp....

We'll get into that after a while.

My point of this is to ask can you have a possession limit in the blind or not?

Gotcha...

Yes, but can you have yesterday's limit still whole in the truck while it's parked in front of your duck hole while you're picking up decoys, birds, etc from today's hunt.

How do you talk your way out of that one?

If you killed them Yesterday, you should have already cleaned them but you should have a wing still attached to them. You really shouldn't have them in your truck if you have any brain at all and just avoid a problem.

True, I have no brain. That's why I would like to know how a real game warden might handle this.

Ok, well answer me this,you go duck hunting on a 2 day trip. You are going to stay in a hotel and come home the next day. You kill your limit the first day. Where do you keep the ducks? :?:

In the unlikely even we actually get two cold days in a row, I would like to reserve the option to clean (breast) all my birds in one session when I get home.

What does a real game warden have to say about this?

No person shall possess more than the daily bag limit at or "between"the place where taken and his automobile.

As long as I'm not carrying yesterdays ducks to the truck at the same time along with today's ducks, I am ok. If I am "Between" the place where I have killed the ducks and my vehicle, I can not have a full possession limit of ducks.

For example, I am considered "between" the place where I killed the ducks and my truck if I am walking back to my truck with my gun and my ducks in tow. If yesterdays ducks are still in the truck from yesterday, they are no longer "between" the place where I killed them and my truck, they are already in my truck. The law says "between" the duck hole and the truck. Once they're in the truck, I'm legal up to a full possession limit, doesn't matter where the truck happens to be at the time.

I sure hope I can remember all this, but isn't this the point of a possession limit anyway? I try not to ever get myself into any awkward situations, but sometimes if you're on a week long hunting trip, these types of events can occur.

ps - this also means that if you accidentally had a duck fall out in the boat from yesterday and didn't notice it until today, you either include it as todays daily bag limit, or go put it in the truck.

possession limits need to be abolished. Some people hunt more than 2 days at a camp and have to keep the cleaned birds with them in a cooler. If you were to be checked on the way home and stayed 5 days and 4 limits of birds, technically, from the way the law reads, you are over your possesion limit, CORRECT??
