[QUOTE="Rod Snell, post: 903519, member: 796"] Well, the standard line we use in Hunter Safety is "tell your friend you can't hunt with them until they start following the rules." That applies both to safety rules and game laws. I've heard the question about guilt by association asked and answered (by a warden) in class. Basically, once you know or help in taking game illegally, you can become an accomplice, not an innocent bystander. If you knowingly let him illegally transport the deer in youur truck, well.... The statements above about felony charges from shooting a deer illegally are exaggerated, but a fine would usually be assessed. If he's a habitual offender, then that brings on more talk. An uncle of mine was surprised by a person he was hunting with pulling out a .357 and shooting a deer on state land when deer were not in season. My uncle refused to help him with it, and demanded to leave immediately (he was riding with the other fellow). As soon as the deer was in the truck, the wardens suddenly appeared and made the arrest. My uncle told the simple truth, and they believed him. It was all on tape. [/QUOTE]
