Stupid question on limits

The way I read the regs, there is no annual limit. You can take five rabbits per day and have no more than 10 with you at any one time. Just like sockeye in Alaska.

No annual limit. If you eat them or gift them, you're fine, until you reach the possession limit again.

The possession limit is how much you currently have in your position, at the time they break into your house and make a throw search. Even if you cooked them, you have them in your position, but as soon as you ate them, it is out of your possession, you even do not have to wait till you s**t them since usually they do not check your stomach contents.

Also, the possession is for all house members. If the possession limit let's say 10 and you have a wife, 2 children, a MIL, a FIL your total possession limit is 60.

But really, don't sweat it. It is for poachers who kill 1000s of animals.

Hmmm...limits are per licensed hunter, at least that is my understanding.

Almost true, but you forgot two things:
1. there is a difference between the bag limit and the possession limit. bag limits for hunters - how many he/she can kill each day. Possession is how many a person, hunter or not, can have in his/her possession
2. A hunter can "gift" his game to anyone. Since this "anyone" can live with the said hunter under the same roof, they also can have their possession limits.

Yes! God job explaining it
