Actually met him years ago at the Annarundell BPS, even tuned my Sean Mann Eastern Shoreman.

All the violations I read in that article occurred during snow goose hunts. A species that in lieu of the “conservation season” continues to bloom. They’re a pest in most regards. Did he break the law? Sure, but who really cares on the wildlife side. That’s why the fines are so small. If he cheated folks out of their money that’s a different story.

Hey it’s not much different than being required to have a hunting license to kill wild hogs. An terribly destructive species that cause billions of dollars in damage every year.
I personally know a gentleman who was invited across the state line into S.C. To kill some hogs. He thought nothing of it but the warden sure wrote him a citation for hunting without a license. Doing the the warden and the citizens of Carolina and was given a ticket.

Bet he wasn't on a year federal probation when he shot the hogs or from a vehicle towing a trailer with other shooters in it on a main road.

The citation was close to $250 I bet

Why did he think nothing of it? Required to have a license and didn't know?

Guess we can drive without tags, inspection stickers and driver's license too.

You absolutely can and the fines and punishment are not nearly as strong as they were in the 80's. Matter of fact I have not seen a Judge or DA with enough stones to prosecute and convict someone as a Habitual violator and put them in prison in years

I would like to hear his side of the story. Most agencies are begging hunters to kill snow geese by any legal means possible.
Key word "legal"

Used to be awful, but the spring conservation season has put a pretty good dent in them from talking to guides in KS, MO and SD. The eastern population fails in comparison to west of the Ohio river

Think most of his violations occurred on the eastern shore of MD, long rooted in market hunting and outlaw gunning.

Probably born in the wrong century
