as it relates to posession limit?
312 IAC 9-2-8 (d) The possession limit does not apply to a wild animal that is processed and stored at an individual's primary residence, except for waterfowl and migratory game birds.
Would skinned, gutted, washed wrapped or bagged and frozen be considered "processed" with regards to small game, such as squirrels and rabbits?
Part II
How does it apply to waterfowl? For instance, take last year. I shot, breasted out, cleaned and froze 10 Canada geese taken during the early goose season. Would I have been illegally in possession of a dark goose if I had shot one during the regular duck/goose season?
Or am I looking at the wrong information?

Processed is the animal has been prepared to be frozen, canned, or dried in order for the meat to be stored until it is to be prepared for human consumption. skinned and gutted is processed and does not apply to the bag limit when at your primary residence.
The federal regulations do not allow for the "processed" exemption that the state regulation allows. The federal regulations limit your possession limit to twice the daily bag limit. If the early season goose limit is five, you cannot possess more than ten. if you hunt day one and day two, taking your daily limit both days, you either have to eat a days limit or give it away in order to hunt and take any birds on the third day.
