Again I think your confusing the word mistake with the word Accident.
It was an accident that he shot the buck thinking it was a doe....not knowing the law was a mistake.
Neither one matter in court.
this sentence
"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.
I know its seems like a silly thing to argue about but it is the root of a misunderstanding.
This is why I couldn't understand why you were waiting for him to say he was wrong when he had said he made a mistake from the get go.
The word mistake was never meant to be an excuse. "I made a mistake" simply means "I did wrong"
Your interpreting the word mistake to be an excuse and that is not the case.

i'm not trying to say what I did was right. I know I made a mistake. what i'm more upset about is your attitude. in all my years of hunting I have never been as ashamed of another hunter as I am of you. atleast in Missouri we stick up for our fellow hunters nomatter what the cost. and understand when something like this happens. you sir are not that way.

Rock,the second sentance of his statement is what bothered me.hes more upset at tops attatude than the fact he did wrong.i just wanted to hear him take responsabilty for his actions and to take lengths to not do it again.and i feel as though he has done thats since so im happy with that.If i did wrong and someone gave me crap for it im not going to be upset with him ill be upset with myself.
I don't think that came out quite like he meant it to but its there so like I said I get it.
I would probably be right there with you on that had it not been a response to a poster I think is way out of line.
Notice the OP has been fairly reasonable with you and everybody other than one poster about the criticism.
You approached it like an adult and he has now responded to your criticism like an adult.

Ya don't CYA yourself, or cover illegal activity for someone else as a "fellow hunter".
Not sure if that was what the OP was implying, but it could certainly be construed that way.

Skinner, I've tried to be very judicial in my response to this thread, but have to admit that I was concerned from the second sentence, as well as the rest of that reply.
