I would say....... I read the regualtions different. Can I speak to your supervisor.
I call the DNR all the time and they try to answer my qustions......... thing is the person your talking to is reading the regs and doesn't know much about hunting at all. When I hit a spot that doesn't jive with game regs I go farther up the chain. At this step I ask for it in writing...... with a signature. That way if I get hit b/c they qoeted me the wrong reg's I have a leg to stand on in court. Never gotten that far but somewday it will happen. I plan for the unexpected.
