If we lived in a country without law it would be chaos. The only part that bothers me is they look for violations amongst those who are most generally decent citizens. A policeman or state patrol can only stop violators in violation of a law. The game department can stop to see if you maybe violated a law and in my own opinion this is harassment. When I say this everyone will wonder where I am coming from. Don't wonder, I am a strong conservative who believes in law and order. I have been checked numerous times in my life and only ticketed once. I had forgotten my plug during dove season about ten years ago. I paid the fine. But folks I scratch my head at 5 shells or three??? They fly so fast you don't get but a couple of shots anywho. This is a frivolous unnecessary law on hunters who provide the money for game management in their state anyway. And no respect is shown for the constituents who pay their wages. At least most seem to be that way. I have met a few really great wardens that were just good ole boys doing the job.
