I know folks that claim to get checked every time they step foot in the woods and others that are in their 70s and never been checked once. They all pay the same license fees, so again, whats your point and where is the direct correlation...?? Serious question I figured he was saying , just don't buy a license , if you hunt your private property , the chances of seeing a warden are so low , no back tags required any more , just hunt during the season as to not tip off neighbors to your ways. and he would be mostly correct if you owned a 40 and only hunted it and butchered your own deer and weren't hunting for horns , yup if your already 60 I bet you could fly under the radar the rest of your life if you can keep your mouth shut. of course when you do shoot a monster buck you also have to just butcher it up and keep your yap shut. that is what gets most people in trouble. because even if you get caught rifle in hand on your 40 unless you are dragging a deer or the warden just watched you shoot it from the road with binos , you were just coyote hunting something you need no license for as a land owner Thanks GCP, you are likely spot on with your analysis.

Checked on consecutive days last week ice fishing on Townline Lake, Oneida County. 2 wardens on snowmobiles checked each group of fishermen, maybe 5-6 groups. They didn't stay long so I'm guessing everyone on the lake was legal. For sure nobody exceeded any limits - fishing sucked. http://www.usdebtclock.org/ This place is getting more like Facebook every day.
