Fur Taker Permit

[jackalope]

If a buddy and I are out hunting coyote together.. I have a Fur taker permit and he doesn't.. Say a coon comes rambling out and I bust him..

Say ranger rick sees us walking out of the woods with me carrying the coon.. Could he bust my buddy for coon hunting without a fur takers permit?

I don't see how your buddy has done anything wrong the way you describe the situtation.

who knows ?can your friend prove he was coon hunting?because you know your guilty till you can prove your inocense.i know thats backwards it was ment to be .i guess it depends on ricky mood .best bet is to have hime get a permit .take no chances

Nope, I can't prove he wasn't coon hunting. By the shear fact that a member of the hunting party possesses a coon a warden could probably argue the fact the no possessor was coon hunting... Although I believe logically he would have to be in possession of a coon before he could be proven to be coon hunting.

Yeah, I agree I told him to get a permit.

I don't trust em. Leave no chances. I once got a ticket for a fish that was 1/8 short, after he was dead in a ice chest for 5 hours. This was 5 years ago, i recently found out it was still on my record as a fishing without permission charge... apparently the warden wrote the wrong code on the ticket... I could get it expunged as i was fishing in a public park. but why go through the hassle of not explaining why i paid the darn thing. .
