WTDOC Actually the mistake was made in gun season. Yes we all know it was wrong. None of us cut him any slack either. True he should have gotten the fine and the court appearance. But when the Judge started on us non residents just shooting at fur..he made a crucial mistake.
He did the right thing after a grievious wrong..there should have been some understanding it was the 1st year of AR.
The ONLY action of his I'm defending,is stepping up and admitting the mistake. If he would have let it lay no-one, (us included), would have been the wiser.
