      In this context I'm equating it to 3 mins after legal shooting time blah blah that was getting thrown out in the other thread. Obviously you can't post that info if you're under investigation that would be dumb. But I'm also saying I'm 100% ok with that so wouldn't fault the guy either way.

      I think I meant "one of the 20 buddies" not "one of you 20 buddies" but either way doesn't really matter.
      Let's play a game here.
      You are in a bass tournament.
      You are leading.
      Competitor comes in 2 minutes late, and officials use your 10% rule.
      Competitor wins boat and truck + cash.
      Are you OK with this?

            I'm on the legal, letter of the law side myself.
            I don't think 3 minutes is the issue.
            Legal shooting time is legal shooting time.
            Weigh In time is weigh in time.
            At what point do we determine "past legal", or "past weigh in" time.?

              I mean I can't argue with you on the letter of the law, and I paid my speeding ticket of 83 in an 80 without complaining. You have to draw the line somewhere. But 3 mins after wouldn't be anywhere near as egregious of an offence, in my mind, as camping out waiting for that deer at midnight or shooting it across a fence on someone else's property or whatever other options there are that we could speculate about.

                I like the man but the law is the law if there is evidence or admission of guilt.

                Personally a warden wouldn't have got me to admit it if I shot that deer after legal light even if it was with a hawg lite at midnight but Travis is likely better man than myself

                  I get it.
                  A small circumvention of the law is acceptable, to an extent.

                      Yeah I'm waiting to hear how the warden has any kind of proof that he shot the deer with a bow after legal hours...

                      Unless:
                      1) the warden was posted up and watching him hunt

                      2) someone else witnessed the shot and ratted on him

                      3) the game warden asked Travis and he openly admitted to it.

                      It's not like a rifle where they can hear it a mile away.

                      Not saying he should've lied or that it's ok. I'm just curious as to what kind of proof they have of any violation.

                      I also realize that I will never know the answer to this question...

No way the GW would let a violation slide on a buck of that caliber. Plus the restitution for that buck will be 10-20K.
                        ooI have sources that say 55k 🤓

                          lol yeah to the bold, however we may read about it in the Game Warden Field Notes they publish in a year or two. They must have something at least circumstantial if they are building a case and preserving evidence. I hope that hide doesn't freezer burn while they're taking their sweet time. :/

                              That's what I would go with. People can speculate, but I guarantee Travis told the truth.

                                no wonder cops always ask questions that will only incriminate honest men.

                                true lying outlaws have no problem.
