An inexperienced hunter hired a guide to take him elk hunting in the back country. He met the guide at a trailhead. They unloaded horses and rode up the trail in search of elk. About a mile in a tweaker ran out of the bushes and the guide promptly shot him. The hunter was upset and said "you just killed him, you can't do that!" The guide let him know that in those parts it was perfectly legal.
They continued their hunt and the guide managed to shoot 2 more tweakers, but they didn't encounter any elk. They rode back to the trailhead where they discovered some tweakers breaking into their fancy rigs. The hunter shot as many as he could. Then sirens blared and cops came out of the bushes to arrest the hunter. The hunter let them know it was his understanding that it was legal in those parts. The officer in charge said that indeed it was legal to shoot tweakers, but against the law to shoot them over bait.
