I chalk it up to not understanding all the many rules and being a bit of a red neck. And he was told by the Judge to get his own representation. I think he chose the public defender. Again had they really had him had be in jail. At best they were following orders, but they cut him a lot of slack cause he understood he made a mistake after it was explained to him. If he chooses to hunt again I am sure he will try his best to memorize all the regs and not have this happen again.
