Great Blue Heron season?

Several years ago, a friend of mine in FL, had one pecking at his pool cage screen. He pulled out his trusty BB gun and let off one round.....in the Heron’s neck. Killed him instantly. Completely unintentional. He was aiming for his body. That would normally be the end of the story, but his nosy neighbor was peeking over his fence and saw it, and called Florida’s version of DNR. They cited my friend with a misdemeanor. It went to the State and they nixed it, but he had to appear before the State board for police officer standards to face a possible loss of his standards for being charged with a misdemeanor. They read his statement and said “Go back to work.”
