"I think" what he is saying is this, forgot a migratory bird licence at home, while hunting fowl.
Forgot to cut antlered on his tag, on a buck, didn't leave a wing on a grouse, lost a grizz skull, etc.
You'd be surprised at how many hunters break the rules unknowingly.
Again, I said "I think" he means simple infractions.
Lots get tickets per year, LOTS!
This guy was obliviously shown the wrong way to do things, maybe he has grown up, sees thing differently now, and is helping out wildlife "sheep" in this instance.
