The one that I have heard about a few time is hunting in the wrong WMU. The Hunter thought they were in one unit and they were in another.
That can easily happen, where I hunt the map says you are in one WMU and GPS says you are over the line in another WMU. A difference of 200 yards.:silly:
forgetting a case and walking out after dark with out it ,D
Not paying attention to other open seasons and carrying the wrong type of firearm. For example, try convincing a CO that you're coyote hunting if you get caught carrying a centre fire rifle during moose season without a moose licence.
Scroll down to the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act (17.5 - 17.10) and scroll through the the various Schedules. You'll be amazed at how many laws there are and how easy it is to trip up on so many of them.

When muzzle load hunting deer, after removing the primer and casing my rifle I sometimes forget to remove the powder and bullet before storing for the night.
Forgetting to remove / delete Turkey Sound Ringer Wave File from cell phone during turkey season.
Then have a Text message, Email notification or Phone Call come in at the very moment the CO is questioning you on your hunting activities
Not encasing a bow or gun before and after legal hours. I don't really know anyone that actually does this.
