A couple of duck hunters from my area were once busted for killing over the limit. They killed over 100 ducks in one hunt over a baited pond. The game wardens who busted them had film and photos of the hunters as they exceeded the limit.

In court the hunters were prosecuted. After the judge passed sentence, he informed the game wardens(in attendence for the proceedings)who made the citations that they too would be prosecuted for their role. The judge's claim was that the law of limits exist to protect a species and a sport, not to fund coffers, and that the game wardens failed to uphold law.....they should have intervened sooner.
