Ed...I kinda have to disagree with your statement..I was raised in an area where people were mostly poor. Not excusing the over limits That happened ocassionally. People used the bounty of the land or water. But the infrequent over the limit was dealt with by the game wardens in a unique way..It better only happen very infrequently. We may have gone over the limit..but on a case by case basis the game wardens used personal discretion.. We kinda got a few extra ducks one day..not really known(by the warden) we were over the limit..but we were. Getting ready to leave when we were checked..after checking most of everything..game warden said..if you have an extra duck or two..how bout leaving one on my porch..I got the message and complied..left 2 picked ducks for him..I GOT the message..don't do that again..and nobody had to tell me again. When things like that happened game wardens knew who needed what they had and warned 'em..usually didn't happen again.. If not for what we hunted trapped and fished for coulda been a little light on the table fare from time to time. Not saying over the limit was right..just saying that where I grew up..we used what we bagged. My mother got tired of fixing skwerl and wabbit I'll bet..but it was necessary. By the time I was 16 though..things were much better.. and then..along came welfare and food stamps...and many proud folks would not sign up for those programs..even if they needed it. As far as trespass wanton waste and threats..It's a throw away society..and we have "reality" shows, cussing and tantrums on TV and no respect for others..what do you expect?? much much different world....sadly. People think that the laws are meant for others..mainly because they rationalize reality away.
