Reminders....for sure. Take your tags, ammo, gun... make sure they all match! After that cash or credit can get you most things and when in doubt you make come back to camp sans socks or shirtsleeves!

Even if there was zero enforcement this weekend, I'd recommend doing all those safe/legal things anyways :P

So is it “OK” to shoot two points? Asking for a friend.
I see what you did there. :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:

Tell your friend that there’s a guy on HW that can give first hand experience of that action.😉

And make sure he doesn't shoot said two point with a gun he really cares about. Any old beater will do the trick

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.

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.

It's what you do when nobody is watching that shows your character not what you do when you know someone is watching.

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

We pick up the cans on the side of the road and throw them in the back of the truck to be recycled later, we call these "Karma Cans". Might be superstitious but we always seem to have a good hunt and clean the hills up at the same time. Good Luck all!
