The guy already knows he made a mistake. I mean you can keep telling him he is wrong but he admitted that right off the bat.
I think we all draw the line well ahead of poaching at night.
There is pretty big gap between not seeing a 3 inch antler and poaching at night.
The "line" is also kind of relative. I don't thinks its ok to go out and shoot illegal spikes on doe tags on purpose or all the time but I don't think its a big deal to make a simple minor mistake every once in a while.
I don't thinks its wrong to point out the mistake either......but how long do you ride a guy that already knows he made a mistake?
Well heres the thing rock,i understand he made a valid mistake by not seeing a three inch spike at 200 yards.but it was up to him to know that he couldnt tag it with a doe tag.that is not a mistake that is called not knowing the regulations and that is something that could have been easly avoided.seriously it took us a few minutes to veiw the regulations and see where he went wrong.hes been hunting that same area for ten years.
