It sounds like some of us don't see the difference between "Been a sheep" and "Manning up". Actually it seems like they see it backward...... If we just obey by the rules, never argue or fight them we are going to end up with no guns, no bear baiting and you name it......
To me, 180$ for not returning a mandatory report is excessive.
Well the mandatory survey they sent with his moose tag would have been in plain sight as well so by your logic he deserved the ticket he got. And why would the cops go knocking on peoples doors to ask about driving infractions? That makes zero sense. Also why would anyone call the police and tell them they didnt come to a complete stop so they want to come pick up a fine? Nothing like that is even close to what happened with the op. They obviously knew he hadnt submitted his survey on time as required its not like they were going around knocking on random doors of everyone that applied in wmu 65. I expect they would do that about as much as i would expect a random cop showing up at my door asking me to confess if ive broken any driving laws. Never going to happen.Quote:

My survey was bundled with junk mail in the envelope. Normally I would have thrown it out. To expect me to look through junk mail to see if they hid something is not reasonable at all.

Yea....I think I'll man-up, pay the fine and move on...I think that is more honourable than lying.
So GW, what do you do when the MoT sends you your vehicle license renewal and it shows in with all the junk mail..do you just toss it too :)Quote:

One year I think I did throw out my deer tag or I never received it had to go and get a replacement.
About 95% of my mail is junk mail so I just quickly scan it and toss it. Accidentally threw out a birthday card from my parents to my wife which had a 5o dollar check in it according to my Dad.
