One of those things it's best to call the dnr and ask. On the other hand I haven't just called and asked one deparment. Sometimes it seems the person you talk to is just, well you know. If I call 2 different places and get the same answer that's it for me.
Just call the number they give to call and be sure, I'm thinking based on past experiences he's an out of stater, sucks but what ya gona do.
