The department gave Cheney and Whittington warning citations for breaking Texas hunting law by failing to buy a $7 stamp allowing them to shoot upland game birds. A department spokesman said warnings are being issued in most cases because the stamp requirement only went into effect five months ago and many hunters weren't aware of it.
I call B.S. on this one!
I know if it were a couple of Yahoo country boys on their Daddys property, and the Game warden was in a bad mood, they would've confiscated the shotguns, the vehicle, and placed the two under arrest!
I've seen too many judgment calls go the wrong direction, and not in favor of the hunter.
I have the upmost respect for Game Wardens, but if there is a lisence that is needed to hunt, dammitt, you better have it, or get a fine or worse!
I've gotten a ticket for not having my fishing license on my persons. (It was in my tackle box!)
A buddy of mine has been fined for not having his deer tags "properly" filled out and displayed"!
I would love to be given a warning, but I don't expect it to happen!
If I break the law(Especially while hunting or fishing in Texas), I expect the worse, but hope for the best!
Ignorance is not excuse for the breaking the law!
IMO!
