    Consuming camp meat regulation

    There used to be a statement in the regs that prohibited the consumption of harvested game in camp. I can't find it in the current regs. Has there been a change to that regulation? I wondered if it applied to grouse. Anybody know for sure?

    Seems unlikely to me that it would be illegal enjoy a tenderloin, ribs, liver, heart over the fire after a successful hunt? We've also shot grouse and rabbit during our hunts and enjoyed those as a meal. The best meal I've ever had was eating fresh mountain goat steaks cooked over a fire, miles away from the nearest road.

    Never seen/heard that one before. The best part of a successful hunt is fresh tenders and back straps over an open fire.

    As per game birds, I'm not sure how they'd enforce that one after the "evidence" is consumed. Stay within your daily/aggregate bag limits and you should be legal with a clear conscience.

    Never seen anything like you describe in the BC regs.

    If this was a law I would loose more weight on hunting trips

    Its possible that the term camp meat meant to some people an animal harvested for eating at camp but not tagged

    Three of us on a sheep hunt consumed the better part of a stone sheep shot on the first day of a 10 day hunt. We thought about the same thing and just took pics as we went. As long as you can prove you didnt waste it, they cant stop you from eating your own tagged animal...
