It is hard enough to get hunters that "walk a fine line" to record their harvests now, and God knows their are many that just won't "do right." In most cases the minimum fine is imposed, but even if the individual got a $500 dollar fine for being caught multiple times....that's a small price to pay for these people. There are very few GW's throughout the state. Even though I believe most of them go above and beyond their call of duty, more times than not, individuals are not caught. So now when they are caught, a tiny spat on the hand will do? This is an insult to those who abide by the law, the GW's, and the general spirit of the law. The biggest problem I see is allowing the politicians to get their hands deeper into the Game and Fish Laws. The Dept. Of Conservation is not perfect, but do a very good job for all intent and purposes of Outdoor Alabama. It would be a tragedy to allow a politician(s) to try to make up ground on a lack luster term(s) at the expense of Alabama's resources! This was meant for a previous post on Senate Bill 172....trying to figure out if I want to get started on Senate Bill 175! LOL
