Pre-Season scouting IS a
valid hunting activity. Since some animals are always “in season”,
(coyote, rabbit, etc.), you can still be engaged in “hunting”
without an implement.
Conversely, the
possession of certain hunting implements in season without a permit / tag /
license, is poaching.

At the last 'Neocachers Network'
event cache, I found out two things about
1. The permit is valid for 'active'
hunting and fishing. Scouting doesn't fit the definition...or so I was
told.
