re: Nola.com article on possession limits for fish

I mean hell, lets say you have 3 licensed anglers living in one house (a father and 2 sons for example). Let's say there are 75 trout in the freezer. How do you know whether those fish were caught by the 3, and not by one person? Are they in violation?

The law is applied according to who is licensed, not who actually catches the fish. Same in a boat. If the warden checks a bout with 3 fishermen in it, how does he know who caught what?

I know in regard to migratory birds, that is the rule. Once it's at your home, possession limits no longer apply. Otherwise, you could nail a lot of people for the doves or ducks in their freezers.

I think it's actually the same with migratory birds and any game. Possession limits are in your home as well. I don't the the laws expressly qualify possession other than having it in your possession so it is open to interpretation by the agent. They won't be searching your freezer unless they think you're a poacher and have a warrant.
