RE: braking the law
I think most people have done something illegal at some point of hunting....perhaps they were wearing camo orange and not pure orange....
or stepped foot on private property without knowing...
I know in IL quite a few guys carry 5 slugs in the shotguns during deer season without knowing we're a 3 slug state....you need a plug, or just a max of 3 slugs in your gun.
As far as breaking major laws to poach, or on purpose, I don't think many guys intentionally break laws in order to hunt.
But I do think most have probably had an infraction.
Its like tred barta said....in NJ you get stopped by the game warden you're getting a ticket for something....if you look hard enough you're probably doing somethign wrong....
I know years ago my dad didn't sign his deer license, it was his license, had his name, address etc..on it, game warden stopped him....gave him a warning, said most of the time you'd geta ticket for that....for not having it signed?
Also every state is different, and the license agents usually dont have a clueI find you need what when and for what.... some states your tag is y our license, some tstaes you need a tag, a license, and a stamp....sometimes another stame if youre using a rifle tag for archery....
