we've all done it (broken the law) in one form or another. It doesn't make it right. The law is there for a reason. The idea is to learn from our mistakes. You thought that what you were doing was ok, the property owner had asked, it seemed logical, etc. Learn from it and move on.

The first animal I ever killed was a bird using a bb gun. It was a cardinal. yep a protected bird. I learned from that and many other mistakes. Last season, I had the opertunity to take the largest mule deer I've ever laid eyes on. No kidding. The catch was it was 50 yrds across the fence on property that I didn't have premission to hunt. You bet that all of the excuses ran through my head. Different ways that I could add that muley to my wall and freezer.

Maybe it will be there next fall.
