[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5825849, member: 1409"] In a perfect world, where everyone obeys all the rules, I would agree with you. But that's not reality. Many laws are ultimately only as good as their enforcements. If there is broad non-compliance with a law (people breaking that law), with impunity for those not following the rules, the end result is that honest sportsmen are in effect punished, while dishonest poacher are rewarded. In reality, enforcement and the amount of non-compliance become big issues. We want to reward good behavior, not punish it. Have to consider the degree of violation. If you habitually speed over 20 mph over the speed limit, you'll likely loose your driver's license or die young. Allowing people to drive a few mph over the speed limit with impunity is similar to someone shooting a duck 30 seconds before legal shooting time. Sure, technically illegally, but the degree of violation is minor, and maybe not an intentional violation. [/QUOTE]
