[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 310315, member: 7999"] Weather the Fish & Game is right or wrong in this case we will probably never know. Unless the suspect has huge money to fight this in court, he doesn't stand a chance. The Fish & Game has limitless resources and the greatest Federal prosecutors on their side. The railroad in on. Fish & Game will not back off their position even if they know they are wrong. They would lose too much face. If one of you guys wanted to go hunting with me, and we made plans for a hunt, and I was the guy driving, you would do what anyone would do and help pay for gas. Technically that constitutes illegal outfitting on my part. If I was to stay above the law, I would have to refuse your offer to help pay the expenses of the trip. See how easy the set up is? We dealt with this hunting lions with hounds in NW MT. I could not help pay for fuel for my friends that owned the hounds when we went out and hunted, because the Fish & Game was watching them, trying to get them on illegal outfitting. I used to give them dog food. Yes my past experience plays into my opinion. I would be a fool not to let my past experience guide me in the present. In my opinion, the best thing for any sportsman to do, is to stay under the radar, and don't get involved in, or do anything that will bring attention to you by the Fish & Game. If they decide that they want you they will get you, and you can't stop them. MR, for what it is worth, I think there are still some good wardens in the Eastern part of the state, but I think they are the last of the good guys. Hate to be so cynical, in fact I really don't like it at all, but it is how I feel about the subject. Steve [/QUOTE]
