This is from jpenny's post, an excert from TPWD's letter:
" This bill makes the offense for hunting any wild animal or wild bird on a public road or rights of way a Parks and Wildlife Code Class C misdemeanor. Game wardens would have the discretion to file a lesser charge, if conditions warranted (e.g., juvenile or first time offender.)"
The game warden(s) behind this are pointing out that they will have descresion to file a lesser charge, maybe even just a warning. Just my opinion here but I think conjuring up images of children being hauled away for first time offenses is over-dramatizing. I think it would be better to focus on this being an activitiy that families engage in.
