Default RE: To report a poacher or not?

Imo, thenotions thatall game violations should be reported or that no game violation should be reportedare equallyunreasonable. Somewhere in between lies the rational response. That being said, it would take an egregious violation of hunting laws to bring me to the point where I would find it important enough to report and circumstances mean everything. As a general statement, where I live game is plentifull, often too plentifull, so the rules surrounding game management takes on a much lower level of importance than say in an area where the resources are scarce. I really don't care if some guy takes 7 squirrels on a given day rather than the legal 6 and I don't care if that guyuses his wifes tag to take an extra deer during the season. There are still plenty of squirrels and still plenty of deer. Do I think it's o.k. to break the rules? No, but that's not the question here. The question is do I report it?
