Many times when my clients walk out to the road, the CO's are waiting for them at their vehicles after hours. One time the CO was parked down the road and hiding in the bushes near his vehicle.
JUST NOT WORTH IT!!!

I knew the precise time to quit hunting every evening AT my location. I shot open sights and a reflex dot this year so when I wasn't able to sight properly, I called it quits. It was always a few minutes before the listed legal shooting time had ended.
Last year with a scoped rifle, I hunted until listed legal time, packed up and climbed down.
However, I don't like humping out of the woods to my ATV for 30 minutes with my rifle "encased." A ridiculous law.
A gun sock in your pocket fits the bill. you can put it on when you get to the road if you want ;)
Shooting before or after legal time? No. Uncasing and loading my rifle before legal. Yup! Haven't met or talked to many hunters who don't do the same thing, and I've been hunting for over 40 yrs.
Haven't seen a CO around here in years and very few if any of the OPP know the laws or the seasons. Last time I saw a CO was in 2004 or 2005.
But funny I haven't heard as many shots after sunset this year as I have in previous years, but then again the giant flocks haven't been seen this year as often.
I see an average of 4 different CO's a week here in Dryden district.
Really??? You don't know me at all but you're pretty quick to assume things and attack with all these you and your. WTF!! I probably shouldn't waste my time on you but what the hell... Half of my post was just a scenario I threw out there to get folks thinking about human nature. I didn't really expect anyone to actually admit anything, but you sure were easy to hook, I guess the bow scenario helped. But have you not read all these other posts. I'm not sure what world you live in but it happens everywhere man, that's life, and there's no use whining about it.
I'll be nice about this and just suggest maybe you didn't quite get the drift of my post. Now for sure I had a few brews in me at that time of night, but I really tried to make sure I didn't word things wrong. So I went back today and really reviewed my post to make sure. Seemed fine to me, but you never know these days with some folks it seems so I reread it again. Just in case, I edited one two letter word. I still can't find anywhere where I said anything about my fantasy scenario being what I do, so I don't see how you took it that way so readily. But whatever. I really don't care
lol I can just see you at deer camp scalder, at the end of the day. "Hey guys, you wouldn't believe the beauty buck I just saw in the field, I had a good clear view, but it was two minutes past legal time so I didn't shoot." Aren't you proud of me? Well don't be surprised if you don't get any pats on the back or get invited back the next year. Just sayin...

The clients are told to bring their soft gun cases before they arrive. Many have them in their possession when they walk out to the truck. A few don't listen and pay the price. Last few years many have been checked by CO's and no citations issued.
But yes, that's a good idea!!
