well what can you expect from a "nanny" state? stupidity is the order of the day, and today is no different. First they cut the moose tags because of poor management, then fine people who they gather information from. But to waste monies with an officer coming to your door???? WTF!!!

This is the exact point right here. If the op had taken a moment to look through the envelope he would have seen his survey already in there and saw it was mandatory reporting by a certain date after the hunt ended. The co was obviously given a list of names of people that failed to report and went about his business to find out why. The op stated he told the co he was waiting for it to come in the mail at which point he was informed that no he already has the survey and didnt submit so here is your ticket. Also i am sure he would have written down somewhere the reasoning why it was not submitted so to turn up in court and then claim you mailed it you dont know what happened isnt going to look very good changing your story all of a sudden. Plus who is to say the co wasnt acting with their own discretion here? We only got one side of the story here. The first few posts from the op it was plain to see he was.....upset to say the least. Maybe the co was willing to cut him a break but he let his emotions at the time ruin that for him. We dont know we werent there. I do believe that it was an honest mistake on the part of the op and it sucks to get nailed for something you didnt even realize you did wrong especially when all of it could have been avoided by simply checking through the papers that were in the envelope the tag came in. Keep what you need and toss the junk mail.

Looking at my surveys, deer and moose which I received about 2 weeks ago. They do not say anything about a mandatory reporting date. They do say "At the end of your moose hunting activity for the year please....". To me you should have at least to the end of the open season. I'm not filling my deer survey out until the new year.

My wolf and bear said mandatory reporting on them. Deer no.

Pages and pages back I mentioned the same thing and I believe he said his survey was WMU specific and due at the end of October.

Nanny state? Isn't that the point of the whole thread. We should not need a Nanny to fulfill an obligation that you volunteered for right?
If you need a Nanny its gonna cost you 180 bucks.

then fine people who they gather information from

No, they fined the people that they weren't getting information from.

No, they fined the people that they weren't getting information from.

No, they can only fine certain people..... Not everyone need to play by the same rules

Some units have mandatory reports for moose, some dont. The thread starters unit did.

Is this thread not about a unit where reporting is mandatory. That is what me response was related to. Sorry if it was misunderstood.
