Tri,
I am taking about the Management Unit he was suposedly hunting in BC for Dalls. The discussion boards here in BC have a lot of guys with experience that have hunted that unit say that it is pretty easy to discern the BC Yukon border due to the geography.
All things are possible when it comes to pilots but you don't fly in that country if you get lost easily. You'll end up drying in a crash. Tundra tires aren't used in that terrain very often, it is normally a float. I flew a lot in the 90's in choppers for forestry work, all had GPS navigation. I flew is some pretty insane weather, sometimes daily for months. Never once did the pilots drop me in the wrong place, and i was getting dropped off in small openings like swamps or talus. I don't think it is very likely that the fixed wing bush pilots up north couldn't figure out where they were when landing on big lakes.
I understand you like pulling for the underdogs, but when it looks like a duck, sounds like a ducks, acts like duck and smells like a duck, it probably is a duck. You mentioned the King's deer, well here it is the people's deer. You get caught stealing, you should pay the penaliity. If we didn't have CO's out there doing their jobs, then we wouldn't have any critters to hunt. Part of conservation is to have someone out there enforcing the rules. No enforcement and there will be chaos.
The fact of life there are people out there that do go out of their way to break the law. Some might even be nice guys too. But that doesn't change the fact that if you do wrong and get caught, you will have to pay for it.
