Like it or not, ignorance is no excuse. Fact of the matter is that you were poaching, though unknowingly. You were hunting over a baited swamp, thats illegal. That being said, IMO you still did the right thing. Out of curiosity how would you have felt if the warden had given you a ticket also? Would you have still been glad you called? I still would have, but truth be told, I would not have been so eager to call the next time.
MNBIRDDOG... In other words, your saying if you walked into someone's house and found a murdered dead person (unkowingly) you be held accountable for accomplice to murder? Or maybe get a ticket (ha-ha)
