[QUOTE="SDMF, post: 464480, member: 412"] Agreed, violations need to hurt. $1K fine means he got a $3500 discount just on the NR guiding license portion for the 3 yrs he operated here illegally the 3 yrs they know about). Plus whatever he saved buying the resident hunting license as well as all the extra time he was allowed to hunt by not being curtailed to 2 5-day periods. The part I find particularly irritating is they oughta know such a small fine is basically only going to encourage the person to keep right on doing what he was doing by using someone else's name. I realized it's been a while ~15yrs, maybe a few more and it's a different county but Streeter is only ~30Mi from Napoleon. How many times was the same guy busted there for outfitting guiding without a license by putting the business in someone else's name? A quick glance looks like going rate for a ND waterfowl hunt is ~$1500-$3K per person for a 3 day hunt. $500-$1K/day/hunter. $1K fine. Uff-Da!!! I guess it follows roughly the same outline as the small up-front fee paid for ANS with no real plan for the $$ beyond a couple bill-boards and enforcement that's so infrequent there needs to be a word far less imposing that "enforcement" as it pertains to ANS, or double-dipping on good fishing days, going over daily and possession limits, trespass, etc, etc, etc. [/QUOTE]
