I unfortunately was for the buck limit because I couldn't see the future turn-the-thumbscrews regulations and mandates, and shame on me for that.

Anyone who belives "it's just a bird or two" or "it doesn't really matter" or "it's only a few minutes of your time to check it" or "it's only $15 for a bait license" or "it's just a permit to use a bow or rifle," at some point down the road you'll wake up.

The waking up usually happens once the fire under the pot gets hot enough and you realize you're the frog in the pot. By then it's too late.
