You need your hunting lic. Do you have that already?

Please read all of this

Just a hunting license, no extra tags/validations needed (or at least I think). Funny u ask because I debated this with a warden recently who checked us in the field. A friend of a friend was hunting with us and it was his first time out so he only had his hunting license with no validations since we told him beforehand that's all he needed to shoot rabbits. The warden told him he needs an upland stamp because rabbits fall under the upland regs, but we argued that it only applied to upland BIRDS not small game. No ticket, but just a point of contention. Someone correct me if I'm wrong though.

§313. Upland Game Bird Hunting Validation

Any licensed hunter taking resident game birds including Chinese spotted doves, ringed turtle doves, of the family Columbidae; California quail and varieties thereof, Gambel's or desert quail, mountain quail and varieties thereof, sooty, ruffed, and sage grouse, white-tailed ptarmigan, Hungarian partridges, red-legged partridges including the chukar and other varieties, ring-necked pheasants and varieties, and wild turkeys of the order Galliformes; and migratory game birds including common snipe, western mourning doves, white-winged doves, and band-tailed pigeons must have a current state upland game bird hunting validation in possession. Any person hunting under the authority of a valid junior hunting license is exempt from this section


ps.....There are no stupid questions......No BIRD stamp needed for rabbits.

You really should spend the time and read the regs from cover to cover........asking on the web is not the best way to know the rules which is your responsibility as a license holder.

As everyone is saying read the regs. I read the regs every year because they are constantly changing take the time to read them and you won't regret it.

keep a printed copy of the game regs you are hunting in the trucks. then there is no debate.

Jason,
your experience proves that, while there are no stupid questions, there ARE stupid wardens.

Yea he clearly didn't know, which is why he didn't pursue it further. Moral of the story, like everyone said, is know the regs.
