I posted this somewhere yesterday - thought it was here-  Sec. 08.54.720. UNLAWFUL ACTS. (a) It is unlawful for a ........(8) person who is licensed under this chapter to knowingly
(A) commit or aid in the commission of a violation of this chapter, a regulation adopted under this chapter, or a state or federal wildlife or game statute or regulation; or
(B) permit the commission of a violation of this chapter, a regulation adopted under this chapter, or a state or federal wildlife or game statute or regulation that the person knows or reasonably believes is being or will be committed without
(i) attempting to prevent it, short of using force; and (ii) reporting the violation; A guide's responsibility to prevent or report violations does not appear to take a client of the hook. Obviously a guide must know the regs; a client should know them also to avoid itchy finger situations that could put a guide in a tight spot. A guide's knowledge should clarify the details. I wouldn't consider the violations cited in this particular case to be mere details.

If the guide made the call he should also be on the hook in this case I would think. However some people can be very difficult and the hunter in this case might simply have shot the wrong animal. (The stories that could be told..... Could have been a classic case of lack of time behind the scope and shot the first one he found in the uber-power view.)
