So is it “OK” to shoot two points?  Asking for a friend.
I actually watched this happen and the guys walked.
to the courthouse?

I've seen the same thing and found several two points left over the years in the sage. Shame, know what you're shooting at.

I've seen this happen on a doe hunt.  Guy accidentally shot a small forky.  The game warden at the time said his policy if it's above the ears he writes a ticket and if it's below the ears he writes a warning.  I wouldn't consider that a universal policy but it seemed pretty fair to me.

They literally couldn't get to all the violations that occur by 0800 opening morning...actually scratch that...I'd bet there's 100:1 ratio trespassing violations by 0600 to every officer out there. Good times.

Sad but true. 

At least 3 trucks drove the non-green dot road my son hunted down opening morning of elk muzzleloader.

Lots of great people out there.
Sadly, lots ofnslobs, too.

Did they hire more warden's? If not, how would this year's opener be any different than last?

With the high number of hunters on opening day, technology the way it is and limited ground to hunt people are crazy if they think odds are high that nobody sees what they are doing.

It's what you do when nobody is watching that shows your character not what you do when you know someone is watching.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Maybe they have off duty sheriffs deputy’s backing them up like they have them finding the domestic sheep with the bighorns. Like was already said I’m sure all are out every opener. I’m sure they will catch some guys making bad judgements or seizing the opportunity that they game wardens put in front of them, unfortunately probably won’t catch any of the mass thrill killers who cause most of the problems. I’m guessing they stay home during season, so maybe they should be out tonight and tomorrow looking for the big law breakers

There will be plenty of violations even before legal hunting time...  There is always one shot, then another, then about 100.
