T_Bone,
The bad thing is that they are some of my Wife's people.

She and I agree that they are doing the wrong thing.I do not want to turn them in for the obvious reasons but I am more or less obligated to hunt with them.I am about 99% certain that we will have a visit from the Game Wardens this year. They had planes overhead and at least 6 officers check us last year and they were quite suspicious.If I don't hunt with them , they will think that I turned them in.

As far as me getting a ticket , as long as I keep my doves with me and do not have too many or am seen shooting too many , I will not get a ticket.

I think they will be watching and counting the doves fall.

As far as teaching my boy right from wrong , he was with me when I got my ticket for too many shells. He knows that it was an honest mistake and that I paid the fine without arguing.I am thinking that maybe the best lesson he can learn is watching me unload my gun and quit when I kill my limit and then watching others pay the price for killing too many.Even if I don't think the Wardens are around , I will do the right thing.I have told my son that even if you don't get caught doing something wrong , it is still wrong and God is always watching.

I consider myself to be a good sportsman and am trying to teach my boy the same values my Dad taught me. Lots of folks around here spotlight deer and crap like that. I could easily do it wher I hunt and never get caught but it would be just plain wrong.

I was mainly curious to know how much these guys are going to have to pay because they ARE going to have to pay sooner or later.

Maybe THEY will learn an expensive lesson.
