HUNTING -- Helping a friend or family member haul a deer or elk out of the mountains can get a person a ticket without proper documentation. Same goes for transporting or sharing game fish.

Idaho rules say any person who transports any wildlife or fish for another person or receives any wildlife or fish for cleaning, processing, as a gift, or for storage must have a written proxy statement signed by the person who killed the animal specifying the numbers and species  of wildlife, date taken, hunter’s name and address, license, tag and permit numbers. The tag should remain attached to the carcass.

A proxy form is available on Page 102 of the 2014 Big Game Seasons and Rules, all other seasons and rules brochures, or on the Fish and Game website.

Washington's big-game hunting rules pamphlet says on page 81:

If you transport or possess wildlife (or parts) killed by someone else, you must possess a written statement showing the name, address, license, permit or tag number; the number and kind of animal provided, the date killed, county, and area it was taken in, and the hunter’s signature.

Washington's fishing rules pamphlet says on page 12:

You may not... possess another person’s Game Fish unless it is accompanied by a statement showing the name, address, license number, date, county, and area where it was taken, and the signature of the angler who harvested it.
