Yep! Excuses are like pyloric valves. Everyone has one. Been in your shoes, and it was my own dam fault. Many of the states are instituting slob points. You get a certain amount of points for a violation, and eventually it can lead to forfeiture of your fishing or hunting privelages. Like B-Run said, the gamies also have the rights to confiscate vehicles/boats and/or gear in certain circumstances. Mark it up to experience and move on.
