If the nets are legally set and someone cut them loose WHY did the person setting them not report them to the DNR ? How about this for a possible solution any nets set must have a name,phone/address on it in SEVERAL places. And the location of the net (GPS) and date set and removal date recorded at the DNR field office. Then if a net is discovered it would be alot easier to determine if it is legal/illeagal or has been cut loose illeagally.
