I guess in my highly idealistic world, the honorable person breaks the law and then uncomplainingly accepts punishment, therefore satisfying both "honor" and "the law."
only if the game warden catches me with the illegal goose (or two).

And that, after consideration of why we have game limit laws. But, when you have three guys pounding away at an incoming gaggle, you can get more than the 3-person limit. My daddy taught me that leaving game in the field to rot was (and is) a sin.

Thus, the McCarthy exception to the DNR regulations. Sorry, 120mm & Slap, to admit that I break the law - and don't step up to accept punishment. Course, I didn't give the date and place - so, the confession is quite useless (at least in Michigan). Beyond that I plead the Fifth (after taking a shot).
