Jayatwork,
In keeping with my "ain't your/my job" opinion stated earlier , I think you made certain assumptions that may or may not have been factual. If, on the other hand, a game warden did confront this individual, the lesson learned would be FAR MORE effective and lasting than your reminder (even if the warden gave , and probably would have given, him a pass). Until very recently, intent and ignorance of the law, have never been a legitimate excuses to break the law, but mitigating circumstances could, however, lessen the sting as likely would have happened in this case.
