(b) Except as provided in Sections 3.21, 3.23, 3.27, 3.28, and 3.30, it is unlawful to possess wild game birds or wild game mammals or any parts thereof in excess of the legally established daily limit or possession limit, whichever applies. (c) Except as provided in this Code, it is unlawful to have in possession the green hides of fur-bearing mammals without a valid hunting or trapping license. (d) Failure to establish proof of the legality of the possession in another state or country and of importation into this State, shall be prima facie evidence that migratory game birds and game birds or any parts thereof, and fur-bearing mammals or any parts thereof, were taken within this State. (e) For all those species to which a daily or possession limit shall apply, each hunter shall maintain his bag of such species separately and distinctly from those of all other hunters. (f) No person shall receive or have in custody any protected species belonging to another person, except in the personal abodes of the donor or recipient, unless such protected species are tagged in accordance with Section 2.30b of this Code or tagged with the hunter's or trapper's name, address, total number of species, and the date such species were taken.
