I agree with Akbound!
The kid has learned to break small game laws, whats next? Big game and then maybe holding up 7-11's?
I also agree, find out whats going on in that home!
I've heard of the "hunting to survive" argument before! If that is OK, then just where does it stop? armed robbery, shop lifting?
as far as big game goes, in most places you can take enough game IN season to last most of the year.

As to the other two situations,
1. Uncle was breaking a game law, and the officer did him a favor by giving him a warning! Let one person break the law, why not everyone!

2. This officer had two choices, do as he was told, or go over their heads, as high as he had too! His superiors would be fired, and possibly be fined too.
The wealthy hunters would be fined and possibly have a little imbarrassment if this hit the local news!
A similar situation happened in my area a few years back. Several prominate people and elected officials were caught on tape at a local shooting resort shooting way more than the limit of ducks and geese. Not only were they fined, they lost their hunting and fishing rights and were publicly embarrassed too!
