It is not judgement or fighting to question something which was without question obviously implying or hinting at illegal activity.
The explanation of whom the OP is aND explanation given clears all gray area up without a doubt.
Just a note intention is not something one can expect or demand a conservation officer to concern themselves with. Which is why sportsman must be as knowledgeable as possible about the sport they choose to partake in...and as sportsman we must attempt to keep it as clean as possible.
Best of luck to the OP and everyone else!!
