It's the same everywhere, there are always a few people who think it fun to ignore hunting/fishing limits, permits and seasons, and protected status critter laws. I personally am a rat, and tell people up front that I will rat on them if they give me a reason.

I have likely saved, in my little area, dozens of mergansers, a few loons, beaver, otter and hawks as a consequence of this policy, without ever having to actually do anything. I'm perfectly friendly about it. It's a fact, local men in their cups will boast about such things, and the law abiding majority of men usually won't say boo to them for some gawd-stupid manly reason. I smile gaily and state forthrightly why I disagree with their daring deeds, and that if I catch them, I will call the law.
