I agree with what you are saying. How can anyone not agree with that? What I don't agree with is turning in another citizen to the government because you don't agree with a law he broke. Meanwhile those that would turn him in (lots of members here) go around breaking other laws that they don't agree with. Magazine capacities, rifle features, carry in post offices, schools, cutting down trees on their property without proper permits, ECT.
Someone else may find those laws broken that some here think are okay not to be okay. And if they were ever caught breaking those laws, they'd want the person who has an issue with them to mind their own business.
With that said, deer aren't in danger at the moment of extinction like bald eagles are.
As long as you go into your choices knowing that being caught could result in punishment, there's no hypocrisy involved. For example if I was to have ever ignored the private transer Safe act BS, I'd be doing it knowing that I'm taking a risk. Them's the breaks.
