I would guess, depending upon the jurisdiction, there would be a decent chance of getting the ticket at least reduced, particularly if that was the only citation the woman received during the encounter. And if she had nothing better to do with her time than to squabble over $100. Heck, she might want to fight it over principle!
I would point out that she was very much trying to be compliant with the law by purchasing BOTH the Texas waterfowl endorsement AND the federal duck stamp. And state the fact that a "reasonable person" would conclude that a STATE AUTHORIZED license vendor selling these items to hunters should provide ALL appropriate documentation in exchange for the specific monies received.
Again, certainly no lawyer here, but it disgusts me to see new hunters - especially kids and females - being "introduced" to the sport in this manner.
