Alaska Snowman; You are spot on. Recall the flap when state F&G officials tried to coerce a state warden into letting them keep the horns and head intact on the musk ox they had shot. Part of the commentary from that incident from one of the "official offenders" was that if you prevented everyone who ever had a game violation from "serving" on the game board there would be no candidates available. The quote was, "everyone has violated a game law at some time..."  No one in the crew I associate with, thank you.  Ergo, the mindset is endemic and accepted as normal. Sad and shameful.
