raw furs, wild mammal taken by trapping, game bird or game fish taken within
this State.

game mammal, raw furs, wild mammal taken by trapping, game bird or game fish
within this State may use his or her hunting license, trapping license or

possession limit to points within or outside the State.
3. Any person who legally acquires
ownership or custody of any game mammal, raw furs, wild mammal taken by
trapping, game bird or game fish not taken by the person through hunting,
trapping or fishing may transport such mammal, furs, bird or fish within the
State without a transportation permit if such shipment does not exceed one
possession limit and if such shipment is labeled with the name, address, number
and class of license of the hunter, trapper or angler who legally took such
mammal, furs, bird or fish and date taken, if the mammal, furs, bird or fish is
not required by law or regulation to be tagged. Unless otherwise permitted by a
regulation of the Commission, when tagged shipments are involved, a
transportation permit is required as provided in this section.
