Question for you guys. I know a fully feathered wing needs to be attached to the bird while being transported to the residence of the hunter. At this point the wing can be removed for immediate cooking or for preservation. My question is, once it has been preserved (read frozen), can it legally be moved from one location to another without the wing, such as taking it to Cousin Eddy's for grinding and smoking. I can find no reference in the legal documents for transporting preserved birds. According to ministry of environments website in SK, it's even illegal to transport waterfowl jerky or sausage. This seems crazy to me as this would essentially mean you couldnt make a goose sausage sandwhich and take it to work. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm not sure on the regs, but how is a peace office going to know that you have a bag of goose jerky in your trunk? Even if they did find a bag of goose jerky(provided they had grounds for a search) would they even suspect that it isn't beef?
 
From the federal Migratory Birds Regulations:

11. (1) Subject to subsection (2), no person shall possess or transport a migratory bird unless at least one fully feathered wing is attached to the bird.
(2) The wing and the plumage thereon may be removed from a migratory bird
(a) when the bird is prepared for immediate cooking; or
(b) after the bird is taken to the residence of its owner for preservation.

There is no going back after s.11(2).
