If you hunt Whitetail in N.C....

[Eric Anderson]

make sure every deer is called in.
I just got a ticket for not calling in a deer I dropped off at the processor in Sept.

I know it is my fault, but come in. The game warden looked up my history. Between 3-4 deer every year (limit 6) I killed 2 this year. I didn’t recover it until really damn late, almost 9 pm. I was in such a rush to get it to the processor that I completely forgot.

It is not like I am one of those yahoos that is trying to kill 15 deer a year.
FML.

Oooops.

 

[CAustin]

Sorry that happened

aghhh

I hope this is something that is easily resolved without future consequences. Your prior history of compliance should account for something.

Old green jeans always has his way to get ya. Hopefully the fine is the end of it all and you haven’t gotten ahold of one of the several wardens in NC that thinks he is far more important than he actually is...

 

[Hogpatrol]

OUCH!

 

[TTundra]

It sucks, yes, but I bet you wont forget in the future. Certainly a reminder for us all.

That is where we all need to pay more attention to what the laws are.

I was just on a hunt in Arizona here in the US. A friend didn't sign both the hunting license and the harvest tag and when I saw it I told him that both were suppose to be signed to be valid. I understood where he was at since here in Colorado you sign the hunting license but don't sign the harvest tag until after the kill.

Little details that folks need to pay attention to.

And it's nitpicking regulations and details that turn off potential hunters and experienced ones too. I for one abhor the over-regulation of the sport. In most states that I'm familiar with, it borders on insanity. I know I repeat myself but state game commissions' increasingly byzantine rules are killing the sport.

 

[Eric Anderson]

Well, court was today.
I know the DA in my county pretty well. Pretty humiliating to ask for a prayer for judgement.

 

[BRICKBURN]

Good luck.

 

[Eric Anderson]

Good luck.

Oh I got it.
