The pink copy of the 3-186A form is labeled “PERMITTEE COPY”. Falconers supply the USFWS with the original and one copy and the state one copy of the same form. Therefore, I concluded my copies of each 3-186 pink form were mine for my personal records.
I never considered allowing a state or federal wildlife representative to duplicate or read my permittee copy. I use my copy and to fill out those yearend reports and to answer any questions, if needed. The idea that the inspection was conducted to monitor or evaluate my paperwork seemed ridiculous.
I’ve never met a state or federal wildlife enforcement agent that understood the law they were charged with enforcing.
