(4) Each person shall have an ownership tag affixed to their bobcat or river otter pelt at a Department district or regional office within five business days after the season ends.

(5)

It shall be unlawful to possess a 2020-2021 or 2021-2022 harvested bobcat or river otter after five business days following the season closure without an ownership tag.

(6)

It shall be unlawful to sell or remove from the state a 2020-2021 or 2021-2022 harvested bobcat or river otter pelt without the respective year’s ownership tag.
