The guy should get more than a ticket for that. . . Lose the ability to get a hunting license for a period of time?
In SC, having your hunting license suspended works on a points system, just like a drivers license. Certain violations get a certain amount of points against your license, and every year with no points reduces the number of points against your license. Some things, like hunting deer out of season gets you enough points to suspend all by themselves. Some, like poaching bear, enough to suspend for more than a year. Most violations however to not get enough points to suspend by themselves. Since I'm not a game warden, I don't have easy access to see if my ticket was enough to suspend it or not. I didn't find any other violations, but again, not a game warden, so I may have missed something.
I wouldn't expect a game warden to be as adept at finding traffic violations as I am either. On the rare occasion I do write fish and game violations, it is usually cause I found something and there isn't a warden available to respond. I'm not out searching for them, there just happens to be about 200 square miles of state and federal land in our county, and it's perforated with private land with houses, so we can't help but drive through it. We have 3 game wardens responsible for our county, who by policy aren't supposed to be in the woods alone (they do) and one us forest service ranger for 3 counties, so we spend a fair amount of time backing them up. If I remember right there is something like 250 miles of forest service roads in our county, so we are pretty rural for being east of the Mississippi.
