The problem I have seen is new male hunters, it is a kind of guy thing. I have seen many young (not all the time young) new divers who have just started hunting. Most are not aware of the laws and usually hunt alone for the first few times. (freediving)
I know 3 new hunters who have started and bring me photos of sometimes there game bag full of illegal stuff. The answer is always I didn't know????
Does it have to came down to everyone being required to take a underwater hunting cert class? Ihope not but sounds like a good idea.
