Sorry you had to deal with that Rolly. Sounds like you handled it as gracefully as possible. Yeah, the hunter should know the law...but I would have thought the outfitter would have let you known about this. I think I'd have been more pissed at them than the game warden.

I hunt an adjoining state. The location I hunt there is within a mile of the state I live in. The deer I take there may have lived as much of their life in one state as the other. By law, I can only bring the meat and cleaned skull/antlers back in....so to cross the state line I've got to debone everything. I would have made the assumption that I had to bone it out before leaving TX.
