>>You (I think it was you) was correct in regards to the necessity of having a valid fishing license in Calif each year when you own a native herp. This is a common misconception. The license is a take permit and is not a possession permit. Of course if you get caught in the field with a herp you better have a license irregardless of whether the warden actually saw you pick it up.



I think you meant I was incorrect. If you didn't, then I'm a little confused!



So if I'm a CA resident, I can buy 50 Cal kings at a pet store and sleep soundly at night knowing that DFG would not be able to bust me for having more than the possession limit? The way I understand it, that's not the case, but I'd be happy if I'm proven wrong.
