Rick,

You are a wise man. I would venture a guess it is a rare situation where the local justice court judge and game warden disagree on definitions very often. Of course, a lot depends upon the attitude of the officer at any moment in time, some might be understanding of a tourist and others may count a tourist as a trophy. A few years back I received a speed ticket back home in MS, I called the courthouse to find out how large a check to send them.

The lady at the courthouse asked "Who got you?" I told her the badge number, she replied "Oh, it was Moore. His dad was a state trooper, rumor was he had given his mother a speeding ticket."

I replied "So I had not chance."

She said "None at all." The good news the ticket was only $80, a small fraction of what they are around here and it was earned and probably a little over due after 40 years of driving without getting one.
