Let me use an example of how the vast majority of laws are enforced in the US.
There was a guy that worked at a pizza joint and he had a damn good scheme going on. He delivers pizzas and was a drug dealer. You called, ordered a pizza with a specific term. He made the pizza, delivered it to you and put the pot in the box. Your tip was payment for the pot. Worked great until he gave the box to the wrong person going through the drive through one day. Guy gets home, opens the pizza and there’s a bag of weed. Calls the cops, they come get it. Technically, he is in possession of an illegal drug. Did he get a ticket or arrested? No. Why? Because he had no intent of buying weed, he got it on accident.
Let’s convert this to this. You go for a hike, you find a deadhead. You don’t take pictures of it, you don’t mark it, you don’t touch it, nothing, you just walk on by. Was your intent to locate that? No.
If you don’t plan on shed hunting and care about animals, you won’t be on the winter range this year or really any year. This is a non issue. Your not saving the world.
I don’t know you but what I do know is that you are not trying to save anyone. You are trying to disguise complaining as trying to save people or trying to understand. It’s not really fooling people.
