Tagging ducks

[three11]

So if im on a guided hunt and I have 3 mallards that consist of 2 hens. A pair is cupped up coming in the guide says to shoot the drake and I shoot the hen that gives me 3 hens. The guide gets the ticket instead of me?

Sounds like you can shoot all you want! Lol!

Say me and six buddies limit out one morning. Can one individual transport all 36 ducks to a duck picking operation provided that The ducks are properly separated and tagged?

Thanks.

Wow, that got very interesting very quick. And to think I have been ignoring this thread for the last three days

Wildflower, yes you can transport as long as all ducks are separated by limits with species per limit, all hunters paticulars (license # etc)...technically, the picker is required to have all that information too before receiving the birds.

Redman, How in the world could you remain UC for 11 years?

Thanks.

So when they leave the duck picker, I am perfectly legal to transport my ducks home without a fully feathered head or wing still attached to the body?

Am I allowed to pick them at my camp and transport them home completely picked as long as I have them properly tagged? If not, what does the duck picker do differently so that I can take them home fully picked that I can't do myself? In other words, when does the fully feathered wing or head apply?

Thanks.

He forester, why you always want to start somethin!? When I hunt with you next time...assuming I get to hunt with you again, you better have some tags or I'm turning you in!

Hdforester, you just go where ever the complaints or contacts lead you. Have worked as far north as Pennsylvania, over to the Dakota ' and down to Texas. It's was just a job, we do our work just like everyone else...I never made it personal.

Which is it? Redman just told me I could transport an unlimited number of ducks as long as they are properly tagged.

Or am I limited to no more than three limits regardless of who killed them?

So this brings me to ponder another question. What about on opening day. Am aloud to legally transport any one else's properly tagged limit to the duck picker.

I was hopeful to get an answer to this question.

Is it legal to for me to transport, possess, store, etc more than a "possession limit" of ducks that were killed by other hunters assuming they are properly tagged and can be identified.

Thanks

I can't legally shoot a cripple out of a moving boat?

[420 racin]

No Brown...but we have!!!...but you must make a real effort to retrieve that cripple.
Bottom line guys is that if "The Man" wants to give you a ticket, he has a million different ways he can do that. You will hardly ever ever ever be 100% absolutely legal. It is designed that way. Just don't break the real big rules and hope they don't want to give youa ticket for the minor rules that you may have broken. They want you to hunt and kill stuff and they make it hard on you, but they want the rules to be so that they can give you a ticket at their deiscretion. $$$$$$$
