No Card Gets You A Summons???

[Tacklebox Joe]

I'd like to inform you guys of something regarding what the penalties are for not registering. I know there has been great debate on the penalty i.e. what they are or are not and if a penalty even exists since there is no state program in place at the current time.

Well, someone I know recently received a "Fish and Wildlife" summons for not having his card. This is the same hunters get for being jackasses out in the woods. If you receive 3 of them they pull your hunting and/or Fishing license.....just to let you all know. Now is it legal? According to the issuing Conservation Officer it was.

Is this summons something like a yellow card you get in a soccer game simply saying you were a bad boy or is there a fine/other penalty associated with the summons? Is there a court appearance attached with the summons?

[Tacklebox Joe]

Like a yellow card a bad boy gets.....3 of them means no hunting or fishing license for a said period of time....he did not have to pay any monies.

Thanks for the info Joe.

Good to know. Is the Registration now Free due to the Governor signing the bill? I need to register by next Saturday.

Its been my wonderful experience with these a$$holes to get the summons for nothing and put it on me to loose the day of work to prove I did nothing wrong 
If they didn't get paid to go to court, alot of this unnecessary ticket writing would stop
