Can't for the life of me figure how people can be against it. It's a way to get crooks, if we have adequate punishment. We need a possession limit, too. Try to close the loopholes on these scumbags..


Please elaborate! Does not having a tag send a beacon light out to the LEO that a road, night hunter/poacher is in the act? What if the road, night hunter/poacher has a tag in possession is it a lesser offense? Did having a tag or not having a tag stop the road, night hunter/poacher?

So what it is sounding like to me is that it's okay to burden the lawful hunter because dangit we just can't figure out what to do with road, night hunters/poachers. Does that just about sum it up? Besides burdening the law abiding hunter with the tag, what happens when the LEO checks a law abiding hunter and his tag was in the pocket of the pants he wore yesterday along with the fingernail clippers that he didn't need on today's hunt, does he all of a sudden become a damn poacher and he should be fined? Oh yeah, what does the tag do to stop the illegal hunter again?
