Possession Limit

Hopefully Troy will be around at some point to give us a final answer but I'm guessing the rub will be how would you be able to differentiate the quail/pheasant you shot in Oklahoma from the ones in Kansas? I'm betting that just having a valid license for the second state would not be enough proof that those birds came from that state and the onus will be on the hunter to be able to somehow prove that they did.
I do agree unless you are doing something stupid the wardens not likely to show up on your doorstep looking to check your freezer but the same argument could apply to the daily limit as well.
Suppose I go to the Nebraska border next weekend and shoot a limit in the morning and come back to Kansas and shoot another limit in the afternoon and get checked by the warden coming out of the field? I'm guessing I'm going to be in some hot water although I would not technically have broken either states laws(Also guessing that's a far fetched dream)

I've seen this come up on this board in some of the other states. Someone was saying he took a picture and gps and time stamped it. I think he also used some sort of Route tracker. Maybe on his garmin?

Maybe that would work. I'll probably never have the need to test it out but for the sake of conversation it certainly is interesting.
I would think if you could get by with having two separate daily limits then the same rationale would apply for possession limits as well but that's a lot of pictures, gps coordinates, etc. to have to keep on hand and what happens when you lose your garmin in the field or it goes belly up and takes your proof with it?
 
So any of you watch The Flush? I thought I have seen them hunt on the border of the Dakotas and shoot a limit of pheasants for each state. Also what possession limit would count if you hunted SD and KS as they are different. 15 for SD and 16 for KS. Also different limits and possession limits on quail in different states
 
So I have my limit possession limit of quail in the freezer and come back from a paid plantation hunt with 100 birds...... how do they know which ones are wild?
 
The person at the reserve where you shot the birds has a log and tag number for your hunt. They call them and confirm the number taken. I dont know that they will try to differentiate between the pen and wild ones
 
Last year returned from Ontario with 15 grouse. We were checked at border by Mn. Co. Officers Canadian license, birds and asked if we hunted in Mn. Said yes and told have a good day. Already over Mn. Possession as it is 10 no problem. Also hunt ND andSD insame day. 12 and 15 possession . Mn.is 6 in possession and 9 in late season? I have talked to sdgfp onhow to separate birds and local Mn co he saw no problem.

One of the answers is yes, you can give it away as long as your name, conservation number, and date is on the bag. Once you give it away it does not count against your possession. I give away a turkey, quail, and frog legs every year. This is how it is in Missouri anyway.

I'm impressed you kill enough quail in Missouri to give any away!
 
I don't disagree with that. I live in SW MO and it's a bit tough around here. Usually if I drive an hour or so in either direction the dogs and I get on few birds.
 
Yeah the further south you go the tougher it is. Im lucky to have my honey hole 5 minutes from the house.
