Here in Idaho possession limit is different depending on the species. For fish possession limit ends as soon as you bring it into your house. possession limits for upland birds like Chukar and Huns and many others are the same. You can have as many in your home as you want providing you did not go over the daily limit. Ducks and geese are regulated different. possession limit for them is just that even in your house you have a possession limit. NOW you can give away as much game as you like. When I am saving ducks for a feed I give my kids a possession limit and I write out a paper doing so. I have seen guys that have been busted for too many geese in the freezer. I don't understand keeping that many geese but to each his own.
When I am fishing on a weekend I only keep as many fish as my family can eat over the next week. My family loves to eat fish but we still don't keep that many. We might keep 30 crappie but when we fillet them we prepare them for the BBQ right then, same with trout. We might keep 6 to 8 trout (maybe) for that week. We get them ready to fix and short term freeze.
The only fish I keep for a longer period of time last year was Catfish because it is so far to go to get into them good. I tend to keep a few more than crappie if I can. I brought back 50 pounds of halibut and 50 pounds of Salmon from Alaska this summer so I have not kept any fish for a long time.
I do wish Idaho would classify Crappie and cats as game fish and put SOME kind of limit on them. I know a guy that said him and his buddies kept over 1800 crappie in CJ Strike last year. That should be illegal anywhere. Ron
