Cal. Fish & Game Code § 2001 — Taking and Possessing in General is in force in the current edition of the Code, and nothing recorded condemns it.
(a) It is unlawful to take a mammal, bird, fish, reptile, or amphibian outside of an established season or to exceed a bag limit or possession limit established in this code or by a regulation adopted by the commission. Violation of an established season, bag limit, or possession limit may be charged as a violation of this section or of the specific code section or regulation that establishes the season or limit.
(b) Unless otherwise provided, it is unlawful to possess a fish, reptile, or amphibian, except during the open season where the fish, reptile, or amphibian was taken or during the 10-day period immediately following that open season. A possession limit applicable during the open season applies during that 10-day period.
(c) Except as provided in Section 3080, it is unlawful to possess a game bird or mammal except during the open season where taken.
