§ 3660 Possession Of Unidentifiable Pheasant Carcass

Key Takeaways

  • •You can't have a dead pheasant that you can't tell if it's male or female or what kind it is while you're still hunting or traveling back from hunting.
  • •This rule applies if you're in the field, forest, or on any vehicle like a car, boat, or train after a hunting trip.
  • •You must be able to easily tell what the pheasant is if you're carrying it during or right after hunting.

Example

You go hunting and shoot a pheasant, but it gets damaged so badly that you can't tell if it's a male or female or even what type of pheasant it is. You put it in your car to take it home.

This is against the law. You can get in trouble for having a pheasant that can't be identified while you're on your way back from hunting.
