A bag limit refers to the maximum number of fish, game animals, or birds that an individual angler or hunter is allowed to harvest or possess within a specified time period. Bag limits are established and regulated by wildlife management authorities to ensure the sustainable and responsible harvest of wildlife populations. These limits are set based on scientific assessments of the species' population dynamics, reproductive rates, and overall health of the ecosystem. Bag limits vary for different species, geographic regions, and seasons. They are designed to prevent overharvesting and depletion of wildlife populations, promoting conservation and the long-term health of ecosystems. Bag limits help maintain balanced and sustainable populations of fish and game, allowing for continued recreational and subsistence hunting and fishing opportunities. Bag limits may be expressed in terms of daily limits, possession limits, or both: 1. **Daily Limit:** The maximum number of fish, game animals, or birds that an individual is allowed to harvest in a single day of hunting or fishing. 2. **Possession Limit:** The maximum number of fish, game animals, or birds that an individual is allowed to possess at any given time, including those in their freezer or storage. It is crucial for hunters and anglers to be aware of and adhere to bag limits to contribute to conservation efforts and ensure the sustainable use of wildlife resources. Violating bag limits can result in fines, penalties, or the loss of hunting and fishing privileges.
