Am I thinking wrong

And there are food stamps too.

If we were allowed to subsistence hunt, a lot of us could potentially "Go Hermit" live in the woods, subsistenc ehunt and farm a little. Would that be OK to ruin it for everyone else?

$1000 for the first time... OK, but I'd have thrown in alcohol class too.

I have two buddies, and they ARE buddies get pinched shooting a deer from a vehicle a few years ago. We are normally squeaky clean. These guys were on their way to drive toward me on a mini type deer drive. Well they saw the biggest buck they have ever seen, and the "bait" in my opinion made criminals out of honest guys. Now don't think I defend their actions. They should not have shot that deer. But they were not out looking to road hunt either. Short story they made a perfect shot on the DNR buck, got busted. The CO knew us fairly well and went pretty easy on them. Confiscated the guys Knight Muzzle loader... and actually cleaned it up for him so it would not rot while in evidence. He did not take the truck not the other rifle. Their sentance was about $750 total for the two of them. They Did learn their lesson. He got his rifle back as well.

Is it OK for DNR to bait people like that?
