It's not just the hunting community, it's people in general. I don't think it's right but sadly I don't care what Joe Schmoe the rag man is doing or how many bucks he killed. I am not going to police every hunter in the woods.It's not my job and I don't get paid to risk mywell beingconfronting people or turning in someone (which really doesn't do anything without evidence). If someone is blatantly breaking seriousgame laws or more importantly (IMO) endangering other peoples livesand I think there is a good chance a warden can catch them I'll probablygive a call, other than that what should we do?

Take the situation you mentioned about the guy killing 9 bucks, say you call and say "I know this guy who I think has killed more bucks than he has tags for." Do you think they will swoop down from helicopters and raid his home? Not likely, more likely is they will try to send someone to investigate or patrol the "suspects" area or something along those lines if they doanything. Most DNR's are like every other law enforcement agency, undermanned.

I guess I just don't see anything surprising about not being the "Guardian Angels" of the deer woods because why would the woods be more important than anywhere else. It's Friday night go ride around the closest bar areain your city between 11:00 p.m and 2:00 a.m. therewill bepeople DUI all over the place (among other things), why not follow them around, call it in? Know anybodythat smokes some weed? Do you callit in? I rarelyworry about enforcing any other laws, why are game laws different?
