proof is in the writing....not ur writting but the fish and wild life writing. I provided proof in the form of an email from Fish and Wildlife to start this thread. A call to the department does not prove this practice is legal. Please be sure that they attach their name and position the email they send you to back this up....as thats what I did with mine.
