Not wanting to take sides hear but just thought i would chime in a little.

Maybe that was how it was in the 40' s 50' s but this is 2003 i cant speak for everywhere but i know you can get a doe tag here in kansas for $10 i think even someone hard up for money can swing that for 50lbs of meat. And as for severity of the crime, it is very much a judgement call anyone who can honestly say they have never broken a game law deserves a standing ovation. Some of the laws are too confusing to not slip up once.

Im guilty, last year is shot a deer, it ran 100 yds jumped the fence and died when it landed. It just so happens that the fence was the property line, and yes i did hop over and pull him back. That was tresspassing so i will leave the light on for the warden tonight.[>:]
