Chapter 49 covers the game and fish laws for the state of Mississippi
Does not say you can charge a person for each shell.........this is state law....the federal law may be different. But under state it is a class III violation with a 25-100 dollar fine
OK, So 100.00 plus another 25.00 per bird. that works out to 250 if you get your limit. Looks like I lost a 1/5 of four roses... Oh well....
Nosir you are forgetting about all the taxes that go with these fines and court cost. Be more like 500 or better. The taxes and court cost will be more than the fine. Plus if it was a fed the min would be 250 for toxic shot plus all the other. I believe the feds do charge per shell too! Not sure there last time I had dealings with em lead was legal!
