He rules that a guilty plea still results in the violator paying the same county fine and game fund as a trial convict. He also clarifies that a crop owner may remove rabbits and squirrels out of season if the animals are found injuring crops and may contract with others to protect crops, without requiring the owner to kill the exact animal found.
