John Michael –
Lauren and I have spent a substantial amount of time in SW Montana, which is close to Yellowstone and to many of the most famous trout rivers in the state.
I’m not buying the ‘they needed the food’ argument without evidence. I am 100% confident those are upstanding, hardworking dudes. I am sure they have employment, whether it’s legal or not. But the simple truth is, enforcement of game laws south of the border is not what it is in this country. They might well not know what the law is here; in fact, if I was the warden, I’d probably let them off with a warning the first time (and an instruction to get their tags renewed).
But I’m guessing there’s other things in play here too, like not having licenses at all. Everyone knows you need a license to fish – that’s true of all the other countries south of us too. Given that, these guys were just flat breaking the law. And when you get caught breaking the law… sorry, you just can’t flout the game laws. We have enough trouble with that as it is.
