The rangers there I dealt with are professional enough, some of the rules are a bit silly but then again they get a bunch of DAs through there every year so I don't know where the balance is there... but they've been friendly and helpful enough to me. But like Navy Chief said, they aren't there to be your friend. Don't be a DA, follow the rules even if they are dumb, make sure you pass the attitude test and you'll be alright.

we'll have both compound and crossbows in our party. Curious, why would you treat them differently? thanks.
Yeah, you will be buried real deep under the jail if you shoot an ocelot, and deservedly so. Weird enough some of the Bobcats have long tails down there too, I spotted one I could have sworn was an ocelot until we got closer too it. The tail was super long but it was a bobcat.
If I recall correctly bobcat are off the list for shooting as well down there because of that reason

Can any of you veterans clarify something for me?
Reading the brochure that came with my permit, it states: "Field Dressing- Harvested big game must be field dressed before removal from the hunt unit. You may quarter your game."
On the third page of the brochure it states: "Cattle Fever Tick Rules- Hunters must place a tarp on their vehicle to eliminate contact with a deer or nilgai carcass. Hunters must skin deer and nilgai before leaving the refuge. A designated skinning station is provided."
My question is, if I quarter a deer or nilgai in the field and place the quarters and cuts in game bags, is a tarp still required for my truck bed? Also, am I required to bring any of the hide to the ranger station, or can I leave it all in the field? I euro mount all of my game, so would it be legal for me to skin the skull and leave that hide in the field as well, or do I have to bring the head in with the hide still on it?
I assume they will clear all of this up at the orientation, but I don't want to worry about for several months if I don't have to!
Thanks in advance!

Only the hide can not come in contact with your vehicle
I'd still throw it all on a tarp too just to be safe.
