Well, now he has a choice:
1) Be tried for stealing the neighbors' cow, or
2) Be tried for shooting off-limits wildlife.
Reminds me of a story I read once: A man drives through an intersection at the last possible second, and a cop pulls him over. Before the cop can even open his mouth, the man says "You can't stop me for running that light! It was still yellow when I entered the intersection! In fact, it was still yellow when I passed the other side!"
The cop smiles and says "Yes, but you were going 30 miles per hour over the speed limit when you did it."
