isn't that a law?

5. I don't think there are any violations of the law here.

I know you want to get Cheney...so so I, but this was an accident.

He was not hunting on property without permission, he wasn't using an illegal weapon.

The only possible thing I can think of that could be illegal is if he didn't have an out of state license, since he is supposed to be a legal resident of Wyoming. Even if he didn't, the worst case is a fine.
