With an attitude like that I wonder if you even read the regs. Guess you are not one for rules? Or you have no need of 180.00

If the mnr sends you an envelope with a tag and a bunch of other papers in it, you dont read and understand the other papers? You were quite clearly told you had to fill out a mandatory survey by a certain date and you didn't do it so you pay the price. Suggesting that only those agreeing with your little tantrum are good people is offensive as well as ridiculous as is the suggestion by seabast that forum members donate to pay for your mistakes. What standup said about not filling it out and telling the co where to go was just plain ignorant. It sucks that you got dinged 180 bucks but it will teach you to read all papers sent to you instead of just tag grabbing and disregarding the rest. I am sure there are more than a few people on here happy to read that there are co's out there enforcing the rules.

would be interesting to hear how it works out vs. how it would have if someone else reported it
The fine could have been much worse if we did not call in. Like the guy who just got charged $6000.00 this week. He got lying to a co, transporting an illegally taken deer, illegal transfer of a game seal as he called his buddy to tag the deer and if a person scares off and leaves an animal in the field he would get abandoning an animal and wasting an animal.
Best to own up and admit your mistake!!!

Too bad about the fine and it's too bad we have others on here that think fining you was the right thing to do.

Worse, I find it sad that there are so many guys on here who think that it's OK to lie to a CO to avoid a fine for not following the rules. We have rules to protect our privileges, with those rules comes enforcement. You break the rules, you pay the fine...pretty basic stuff...
Thinking you should get a break because you forgot or because your a 'good guy' is really an odd way to look at at how laws should be enforced.

The CO or any law enforcement official has the power to fine or give a warning. Too bad some can only think learning can only take place by being charged.

Interesting comments.
I wonder if the MNR is making up for the lack of moose hunters (read:revenue/taxes) this fall with the fines? We'll have to wait and compare the numbers.

The CO Is sertenly not acting on his own descision! He plain out told me that he was given a list of local hunters that had not reported. And probably given instructions to fine! Like i said before, The fine was already writen out when he got here and i would thingk the rest of the guys on his list also had fine pre writen waitting to be delevered! MONEY GRAB!!!!

If its sounds odd its probably because you dont have the Good guy thing going for you!!!
