Neither one matter in court.

"In they eyes of the courts ignorance of the law is not considered a mistake."
Means exactly the same thing as this sentence
"In they eyes of the courts ignorance of the law is not considered wrong".
Well rock i dont know how else to explain it but if you ever find yourself in court dont ever say but your honor i did not know.youll be screwed because thats concidered ignorance of the law and thats never an excuss.truth is buckhunter could have easly realized that three inches is concidered a buck not a doe with a very minamal search of the game laws.infact just google what ignorance of the law and why its never aan excuss.
