I wonder if they can prosecute using a boast as evidence?

            Na it will be ok if you admit you were wrong and it was a mistake you are forgiven. Probably only works once though. Don't ask me how I know this. It really was a mistake, really it was. 😉

That doesn’t always work. I watched my dad get a ticket for fishing without a license and it was very obvious that it was an honest mistake. But the MDC has some bad apples too. Even after the guy wrote the ticket he drove to the other side of the lake to make sure he didn’t fish anymore. 
 

He even tried to follow us as we left but he couldn’t keep up.

I'd almost risk it.....just to increase the odds of actually being able to witness an MDC agent get out of his truck.   🙄

Fishing at Rolly Blunks one spring for white bass, when I was a kid, my Dad told the Agent "If you want to see my license, wade on out here to where I'm fishing."

Paying to hunt or fish in MO as a resident is a sore spot for me. Hunting & fishing licenses should be FREE for MO residents IMO. MDC does not need that money. They make plenty from the 1/8th cent sales tax and that revenue stream goes up every year. OOS'ers should pay through the nose. Whatever their state charges a MO resident to hunt or fish in their home state. Reciprocity seem fair.

That does seem fair. 👍 

I don't mind paying for resident fishing/hunting permits near as bad as I hate paying sales tax on used cars/trucks/boats.   That's a rip-off of the highest order.

How did that work out for him? 

I once saw a Mexican dude, that allegedly couldn't understand English, just wade off downstream after an agent called out to him and waved him over to the bank.    The agent just stood there for a bit, then went to go check someone else.   I guess chasing him down wasn't an option.

I have never understood that attitude.  Whether toward an  MDC Agent or anothe LE Officer.  Most agents I know would have waded out and at that point EVERY thing had better be legal.  There is zero benefit to being a jerk, and much to be gained by simply being polite.
