I guess it's like a group of deer hunters who all go out and when one gets a deer, they call the only guy who actually has a license. No harm, no foul. Right?
When I go to other states (including NY) to hunt, fish or dive I accept that there are certain things residents are entitled to that non-residents aren't.
I can see your point,but to compare hunting license to diving with a buddy who catch's lobsters is different . there is hunting safety courses and such to protect eveyone,I do not know what else for I do not hunt. To walk in the woods with a gun you need the license,to do so without license is illegal..You are still legal diving this way.I guess there is also a problem with someone diving with a FLA. license for bugs with his wife..They only want enough for dinner ,so the license gives you 6..She does not have a license but assists in locating and bagging them-so whats the problem?decapoddiver:

I'm comparing it to multiple people catching something that only one person is licensed to catch.
For the record, there is nothing wrong with a person who has a FID card walking through the woods during deer season with a gun. There is something wrong with that person shooting a deer and then having his buddy with the hunting license "bring the deer up" in his "bag".
Is that clearer?
Another example: I have my comm. scallop license. When I do scallop dives with a buddy (who doesn't have a comm. license), he only gets 1 gallon of meat. Period. Once he has his scallops, he doesn't start filling up more bags so I can "bring them up under my license".
Based on the fact that I'm the only one who seems to have an issue with this, I will stop posting in this thread. Fire away.

Join the club brother!!! NH House Bill 1182 got shot down in flames AGAIN this year. Mass. requires you be either a resident, or own $5k in property to get a license.... I have $297k in NH and can't get 1lb of lobster legally!!! I say it's all BS and politics.

Not so Mr. decapoddiver; I also have an issue with the unlicensed stealing lobster. I guess the best analogy I can come up with is this; if you and a dive buddy go down and only one of you has a license, but you both hunt and share a game bag. Well that is like one lic diver going down with an unlicensed diver and they both hunt and well share a game bag which of course would be illegal in MA. Lobster is like $7 a pound, scuba gear closer to $13.00 a pound so why get yours confiscated, Stop & Shop even runs sales sometimes. If I even forget my lic at home or my number board diappears from the trunk, even if I am diving with a friend I do not take lobsters (easy for me to say as I usually don't get any anyway).
