Yes ok lets see him explaine that one to a judge,how do u think that would turn out?i know how it would turn out,the judge would say ignorance of the law is not acceptable

Simple solution...Know the law or don't hunt. Peroid. I know we all remember not to long ago when lifelong and world hunter Ted Nugent violated game laws not once but twice. Illegal baiting of deer in California which he televised and Illegally taking a bear after wounding one the day before maybe in the Prince of Wales. As he stated at the time he did not know the law and ignorance of the law is no excuse. So if there is a lesson to be learned for the new hunters coming to this forum, Make triple sure you know the game laws where you are hunting and follow them to the letter. Identifying beyond a 100% ANY doubt what your target is... is paramount and job #1 along with firearm safety. Let this be a lesson!

That is exactly what im saying!he should consider himself lucky to be getting flamed on a forum instead of being infront of a co that would reviel all the laws he broke and being charged for them

Yep if he got caught, went to court, and told the judge it was a mistake......he would get a ticket......for his mistake

However this is not a court and we are not judges.

No we are not lucky for him.but i would agree with any judge that told him ignorance of the law is not acceptable.its not a mistake rock,its up to him to know the law,thats all there is too it and by you continueing to vouch for him saying its ok it was a mistake is doing nothing but allowing him to feel like its ok.Its not ok!like for pete sakes just learn the law and if you cant do that then what makes him responsable to carry a firearm?

And as far as this not being a court room,it could just be.any idea of how many people are getting charged these days because the post illegal activitys On the net?

No we are not judges BUT We ARE RESPONSIBLE stewards of or natural resources And as such have a responsibility to reprimand ANYONE who violates the Law mistake or no mistake!

Ks your last two posts were spot on!thank you for seeing the big picture here.

Again mistake means action that is wrong<<----fact not opinion.

Your kidding yourself if you think you know every law in this country and never accidentally break a law.


I never ever said it was Ok and neither did the OP(as a matter of fact the opposite of that has been repeated over and over)......I just don't know what more you want.

NP Buddy! Today's up and coming youth hunters MUST understand HOW IMPORTANT it is to identify your target AND KNOW what's BEYOND it. It really is a matter of life and death. You can't take the bullet or arrow or any projectile back once it is released. So you MUST be SURE.
