Loyalist Dave said:...if it's hard for an officer to prove, then folks should go ahead and diregard the game laws that fall into the "tough to prove" category, or do most folks obey the game laws as written?

Don't like the law? Get it changed.
I feel as we get older we also mature and develop our own seen of ethics, yes some are learned and others are earned as well. I was raised the right way, but when I moved out of the parents place into my own I strayed from the rules somewhat not saying I am proud of all that I have done, but I can say I have learned from the mistakes of my past even though I was never caught. Now as of even this morning I am in an ethical ordeal, every morning I hunt a huge 10 point likely around 150 class comes out of the draw around 100 yards from my stand the issue is he stays in an off limits (impact area on a military base) area so I cant move closer to his entrance and exit route, nor if I shot him there can I legal go in to retrieve him. So I am forced to watch him eveytime I go out hoping he makes a mistake and wonders my way, or when the rut gets closer to lure him in with a decoy and scent, and some rattlin and a gruntin. :idunno: But I will admit theres something about a trophy buck that makes honest folks do stupid things, just not this guy. But yet people that are honest folks will see a trophy buck and slam on the brakes back up think about it and pull out a gun and take a shot from the car, and out pops the game warden. My hunting buddy says the people that don't shoot right away are the ones that are usually law abidders (until then), the guys that barely stop before they shoot are the professional poachers. Game Wardens are some smart people. Hunting poachers with a monster buck robo deer :bow:Billnpatti said:It is an issue of morals and ethics. Those who have been brought up with high morals and ethical standards will obey the laws whether someone is watching or not. As someone once said "Character is what you do when no one is looking."....or words to that effect.

Wes/Tex said:By Texas law, the Game Warden is actually the most powerful LEO in the state and has the authority to check your car or house without waiting for a warrant. That in itself should make folks stay on the straight & narrow.
