Vince -
Coming into the US from Canada is a different reg that was broken - it wasn't a possession reg. You are not allowed to bring processed meat into the US from Canada. I believe this is the case Vince but not entirely certain.
And this whole thing on possession is very very stupid. The way some are explaining it, if I have ducks made into meat sticks by mixing with pork, spices and then smoked, how can this be a daily limit question, or a possession limit. How would anyone know what kinds of ducks were in the bag, how many ducks were used to make the meat sticks, when they were made and so on and so on. I have a friend who just took in 9 lbs of duck meat and made it into 24 lbs of meat sticks. How many ducks were used to make them? How would they know thee meat sticks were made from duck? This friend I know had the packages labelled as venison sticks. Without doing a DNA test, how would they know?
And then there are more questions. If they are in the freezer and in your possession, do they still have to have a wing and head attached? Do they have to be tagged as once you leave your house they are no longer in your possession (some States say they have to be physically in your possession the whole time. How do they know what ducks were used?
Can I mail them to myself at a different address, say a cabin?
What happens if I shoot the ducks in different States with different possession limits. Which one applies?
One person above posted a law that said the duck is in your possession until it is consumed and the unused pasts discarded. What happens if you mount the unused parts? IS that duck still in your possession?
These are stupid dumbass rules that should be updated by folks with common sense. The possession limit was intended to keep people from shooting a ton of ducks over two days or so. If daily limits and possession limits are both designed to do the same thing (keep the number of ducks you can have home at one time), why not just change the law to a total possession law and get rid of the daily limits?
Stupid, stupid, stupid.......
