PC..you don't understand how it is in Md.. Fabs is an attorney that hunts..Most don't in Md anyway.. When ya get in court there most of the time the person charged either doesn't have an attorney or one who doesn't have a clue either.. Fed Court is tough there.. I saw a group of guys get charged with hunting after sundown in Md by a Federal warden. They were standing there on a blue bird evening watching deer play in the field talkin..up near the barn..nothing flying... talkin to the Fed GW..guns laying on the ground..after the sun set..he asked to check their guns..charged 3 of the 5 with attempting to take waterfowl after legal shooting hours..And even though they went to court with an attorney..they were found guilty.. I was not one of those guys luckily...I was there and was talkin with 'em.... that was wrong..but it was the GREAT Willie Parker who done it.. Met him a few times..He was focused on only one thing..makin a case and he had the US Attorney in his pocket. All the Federal wardens enjoyed high conviction rates in Md at that time..Only one that I knew was fair and above board His name was D'Arcy Davenport. Nice guy. Most of the state wardens were pretty fair.One gave a friend of mine a pen..then a warning for not having his duck stamp signed. The Feds wouldn't do that.. I had a state guy help me find my license once after I had lost it chasin a crippled goose through some standing corn..After that I kept it in my coat pocket
