If you look at the fines that can be levied for poaching a trophy buck..............that's more coin than 100 license/tag violations. Though, I think I see your point. Driving around in the truck all day and stopping for something obvious is certainly easier. Then, there are the stories of them hunting and/or fishing while on the clock. lol

The manpower, time, legal burden on the state to include court costs, prosecutors, public defenders and then trying to collect such an exuberant fine makes it of little to no value. I read somewhere once that most never pay it or the judge usually suspends it.

The real money is writing as many small tickets as you can. They cost nothing but the GWs time, a couple sheets of carbon paper, and a tad bit of ink. The vast majority of them are paid without delay.
