[quote jigs]How did they break game laws its like you said your 2015 fishing licence isnt good for 2014..... they would of been of age by the time the season started.... get off your high horse you grump old man.[/quote]
They broke the law by USING the hunting license when they were told not to!!!! How can I make that any more clear!!!!! Because there was nothing in the system to not allow this to happen is not an excuse!! Like I said before you can buy a 2015 licence in 2014. No one tells you you can't use it. It is assumed that you're smart enough not to.
This is straight off the rule book page 108.
"Since this law does not take effect until July 1, 2014, hunters
who are 10 cannot apply for big game controlled hunts in the
first controlled hunt application periods (April-June), but a
9-year old who will turn 10 during the season can apply in the
second application period in August"
It is everyone's duty to know the game laws. Saying you didn't read them is not an excuse. These people broke the law PERIOD!!!
Yes I am a grumpy old man. I believe that our laws should be upheld and if someone breaks them they need to be held accountable. No one wants to tell a kid no. What if the kid wants to keep a sturgeon? What if the kid wants to keep a wild salmon or steelhead? What if the kid wants to shoot a bull and they have a cow tag? At some point in their well protected lives someone needs to tell them NO. The parents got away with it this time. I hope to hell that the next time they break the game laws, and they will I hope they are caught and convicted. It is useless to keep fighting about this because it is over. The bad guys won this one.
