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.
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 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.

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

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...

Originally posted by Hobbs View PostNot looking good for Travis. Still a lot of questions though. Why on Earth would he would he shoot after legal hours unless the buck was in such a state it could not move and if that was the case then why not wait until the next morning? 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.
