Fursniper's quote is real close to California's F&G Code. It just stinks when the State trapper flies an area though. One year he marked up 100+ yotes in a day, 2 weeks before I had a chance to visit my folks and go calling. Made for lean pickings, but the calf crop didn't get hammered like it had the year before. I've found a couple of photos of offenders' vehicles has helped along with working with the local wardens, especially when I am hunting private ground with WRITTEN trespass permission. Besides, the land owner liked my reporting the violations after he had to repair a lot of fence because of the yahoos.
Yes, I hate having to report it, but if we don't police ourselves on the violations, it gives the bunny huggers more ammunition.
