Hey everyone,
I had a trip to Haida gwaii this year and we had a chance to talk to some really nice CO's.
There were a few things that left me and my group a little confused.
1. In Haida gwaii the bag limit is 5 possession is 15. If, while on a 10 day hunt we fully eat 1 small Sitka deer. Does that mean if I shot 5 deer my bag limit goes back down to 4 ?
2. If I shot 5 deer and gifted a full deer to the people who let us stay at their places does that also mean my possession is now 4?
The co seemed to think that gifting a deer still means I'm at a possession of 5. I have searched the regs for an hour and can't find clarification on either gifting or eating. I know the eating part is a little hard but over on Haida gwaii you can go through a full deer in days with a few hungry fellas.
Thanks in advance for the replies.
