Pavlov rings the bell and grabs the mop... Oh yee occupier of the moral mountain top. Wanna play?? But you must be honest, but of course you will be cause #1 this is the internet and everybody tells the truth and #2 you are, as sage says, pure as the driven snow, and lying would stain the snow.
NO LAW was broken??? Lets just cut you some slack from the get -go and stick with GAME LAWS...
I don't think you fail on every hunt I say you fail on every day of the hunt...
Most game laws are written to give incredible amounts of "discretion" to the rabbit cop. Sometime this is present and sometimes it isn't.
Hunter orange category: Is your orange the proper "lumens" as measured by the little gizmo which measures such things? 10 yr old cotton forget it, it is too faded, synthetics maybe.
Mesh back of the hat, fabric up front over the bill, nope mesh not legal sorry. Hat is a feebie with a company logo on it? Nope must be solid, no print.
Wear a backpack (not orange) therefore covering up your rear of vest, start writing...
Ok so lets say you just got the full new set of orange on your way to the hunt from Cabelas. You wear bibs?? Did you take a crap on the mountain on this fine day? How did you get the bibs down??? Don't say you took your coat off, orange must be front back and head combined AT ALL TIMES, not just when your pants are on... same for lifting off your hat to wipe the sweat from your brow... ticket right there...
Ever walk up the hill in the dark with a round chambered? No can do... loaded weapon is evidence of hunting, therefore hunting before /after hours, unloaded weapon= simple trespass (Sage!!,) loaded chamber = 20 pt violation, hunting without [permission.
Did you load based on the REAL sunrise or just when you could "see purty good"
Evidence of sex attached to a "major" portion of the carcass, your major is my minor...
My personal favorite "all four quarters must be carried together" ever shoot a moose? How far from the truck... ???
Waste of game meat...see above, unless you boiled the bones = judgment call.
Ever hunt migratory birds over decoys in a corn field or swamp? You baited every one and that's a federal crime. With state and fed penalties attached.
Don't mis -read my meaning here, I don't care 2 whits what you do, but if you want to ride the white horse, you better brush the turds out of his tail.
My definition of poacher is reserved for DOW people who shoot Sampson size deer with a spotlight out of season pay their $13K+ fines and keep their jobs albeit with a mandatory transfer. You can drink the Koolaid, just don't insist that I join you.
Oops almost forgot, based on your post you helped with a hunt. Did your buddy offer to pay for your gas? (or a motel room, or lunch) Did you drink one of his beers (or a pop since you are the wind driven snow) If you let him you're a felon if you said no he is, and you are guilty of obstruction. Unless of course you called 911 and his tag is the unfilled one due to the fact he is in jail.
All these (almost) are based on Co state law, yours may vary, I hope for your sake they do, but I would check if I were you.
