I kind of get the vibe there's some small town politics and someone complained to the game warden about this guy so they set out to catch him doing something illegal.

Me too. I’ve lived in a small town and know how that works. I accidentally shot a deer one time when I was out hunting coyotes but the warden knew me and so I got “taking game out of season” instead of “poaching” - I actually didn’t know there was a difference, but I guess there is. If you call it in and report yourself you get some courtesy.

I did make the local paper, so it was kind funny when all my friends started calling me about why I was listed in the police blotter section of the local gazette.

Good times.
