And how does this differ from giving them away to a land owner, someone at the hotel, etc?
I follow the law, at no point does it say you cannot give away your game....
When I've bird hunted in the past in Montana, I'm not sure about this season, I was under the impression that the hunter who legally harvested the birds, still possessed them even if they gave it to someone else? I think possession ends when the game is removed from any hunting related activity and fully processed? I'd think a game hand off to the hunting grounds land owner or at the hunt lodging might still have to stay within the possession limit for whoever the hunter was?
If I accepted game at some hotel by hunters coming out of the field, I'd want a valid license and be within the bag and possession laws. Whoever writes up the citation might lean on the recipient, either bagging a violator or having a chance at the hunter also? The wardens seem savy about playing with game bags.
