Legal Rifle Case Length Question

Unfortunately I cannot give you a definite answer on this question. If an officer checks a hunter under each of the above described scenarios and it was just a random check, I do not see where a ticket would be issued because there was no apparent violation of the statute or administrative rule. However, If an officer conducts a check of a subject after knowing the subject has fired a round and the only casing present was either one that was too long or too short to conform to the minimum and maximum cartridge length, the officer could issue a citation which the officer would have to be able to prove that the person was in violation.
Our officers use very good judgement in these situations and would not issue a citation unless they felt the person was in violation of a statute or rule as well as being able to prove the violation in court.
