"There wouldn’t be any need to anyone to get an archery or muzzleloader license any more, at least until after you had already killed a deer and were worried about the Game Warden finding out about the kill. After all we would never be able to tell if the stamp was on the license or if it was real since we couldn’t check the license.
We would only need one license for the entire family to hunt unless more then one person was going to hunt at the same time. How would the Game Warden ever know who the license was issued to since he can’t check it?
Or, perhaps we could just get a license for everyone in the family and since they each come with a tag we could kill our buck today and grandma’s buck tomorrow and then start to hunt for one to dead Uncle Tom’s tag on. After all the Game Warden would never catch us, at least until after the deer are dead, since he can’t check our license.
But, then on the other hand why get extra license to kill more deer since all we would have to do is just keep erasing the information on the deer tag and taping it back in the license. Since the Game Warden can’t check the license there is absolutely no way he would ever detect that the tag had been used over and over again."
Talk about having no idea how many deer were being killed. If we couldn’t check license there would be almost no control over how many deer were being killed illegally. Checking the license is the first step in having even a reasonable degree of compliance with the legal harvesting of wildlife."
You know Dick, all of the things you've mentioned above seem to fit the profile of how Don Madl acted when he and his family members killed all those deer. Perhaps your fellow Game Wardens , Managers and Supervisors should have employed those tactics in dealing with Madl. It certainly would have set an example.Your colleagues seemed to have given Madl a FreePass but vigoriously applied the law tous "radicals and anarchists."
I don't understand why you just don't shoot us on sight.
As someone else previously said, "your credibility is shot."
I think my credibility is just fine though I also think it is getting easier all the time to find which ones fit the profile of the radicals.
If you think those issues have no credence or I no credibility then how about explaining how the system would or could work without those present safeguards.
We have been over the Madl issue time and again. If you are so hung up on ancient history then you should just call the Attorney Generals Office and straighten them out since they handled that investigation.
What Madl did or didn’t do has absolutely no bearing on hunter license checks, the integrity of the officers or the agency and you know it. You seem to just be popping some smoke to hide behind; an old habit I could almost forgive you for I suppose. What smoke was your favorite color?
