I really have a hard time believing that there are over 30% of the folks who have never forgotten a pen to sign their license with, allowed a hunting buddy to pick up and carry a downed bird for you, there are a TON of tiny little rules out there that are very easily broken by accident. Maybe a large % of that 30% just doesn't know the rules that they've broken yet?

In many places,you don't have to sign anything,just attach your tag to the animal.And in many places,you can legally pick up someone else's bird for him.Some locations have much more sensible regulations,and they are listed in the hunting guide in a way that most people can understand.As such,many people don't "accidentally" break the rules.

I see that 30% of the people voting are either lying. This thread is quite amusing. "I never break the law"........."I respect hunting too much to break the law"

Yeah, we all respect the animals and our sport but there isn't a single person here that is perfect every single time they enter the woods to hunt. People make mistakes and break the law. Be it something simple like forgetting your wallet at home and hunting to out right poaching hunters are only human.

I would bet a years salary that every single person that voted has been in their treestand with every intent to kill a deer, should the opportunitypresent itself,several minutes after legal shooting hours. The "by the book" 30 minutes after sunset hunting hoursis about 20 minutes before it gets too dark to shoot.

I bet that many have shot a bird or two over the legal limit of quail, doves, ducks, etc...

I bet that many duck hunters have accidentally taken a hen instead of the legal drakes.

I bet that many bird hunters have forgotten a plug in their shotguns.

You would lose that years salary.

I read the rules of the forum and seem to be missing anything that might suggest this topic was inappropriate.

RE: braking the law

All I can say is that "ever" is a long time.

With the question being have you ever? very few can honestly answer no.

Did you "ever" forget to unload or un nock your arrow at quitting time?

Did you "ever" load up a minute early?

Did you "ever" step into a saftey zone and not unload immediately?

Did you "ever" forget to carry your license?

Did you "ever" find an oldlead shell in your vest while duck hunting?

Did you "ever" load up too close to the car or fail to unload before getting too close?

Anyone who "never" stepped on a game law even unintentionally either hasn't been hunting long or is a way better at being perfect than most folks.

Since there is no official time source listed in the regulations,it is highly unlikely that even the COs watches are all synchronized to the minute.

Where I hunt it is only illegal if you have a shell containing lead shot in the gun while hunting waterfowl.

Where I hunt,I can load as close to the car as I like as long as the car is not on a maintained road.

I may be wrong here stubble, but it is fairly obvious that the poster is not curious about Alberta regulations, but more trying to make a point. I am just kinda shocked, your actually missing a very simple point here. I know you will argue with a tree that you know all, but this is a real simple one.

He is trying to use as examples, obscure laws or laws that are so ridiculous that they don't even exist in most hunting locations.My point is that most people don't break laws by accident or through ignorance of the regulations.Most people that break the rules know full well that they are doing so,and the laws that they are breaking are often laws that exist for a very good reason.And suggesting that a CO will charge a person with being one minute early or late is ridiculous,since unless the official time source is listed in the regulations,the charge will never stand up in court.Then again,if you take a shot ten minutes after the legal time,you deserve to be charged.

Arguing with a tree may just be more productive than attempting to have an intelligent debate with you.

The laws he is pointing out are laws we have here in the US. I realize you don't know them as you are all the way up in Canada. But believe it or not, there is hunting outside of your little bubble.

Hey, you can say what you want about my intelligence, but the bottom line is you wasn't smart enough to figure out what the poster was talking about. That right there is pretty dense. And what is even more dense is you coming back telling us all these Alberta laws. Think about it for a while

RE: braking the law

I have hunted in several provinces and states,and have not had to deal with many of the silly laws that are being mentioned.The bottom line is to know the laws where you hunt and obey them.
