If I moved to a foriegn land, I wonder how much slack would be given to me because I couldn't read a sign or speak the language.

I agree totally... I have nothing against the Hmong people, but do think they should not be licenced to hunt untill they fully understand the law... I have wondered on many occasions how people who can't understand our language ever passed a hunter safety coarse??? I know some very intellegent people who have failed and had to retake the test. So how does someone with significant barriers pass??
We used to have quite an amount of Hmong hunters where I hunt deer. They mostly hunted squirles. There is a limet of 5 per day, yet I would see them carrieing bags of them with dozens of squirles and even occasionally chipmunks which are not legal game, and the local game warden would ignor them and stop the white hunters. In my eyes there ignorance of the law is not an excuse.
