Ya it is sad there is alot of peaple that could use the meat right now ,the only thing that separates from the rich is we have morals and ethics.

Ethics and morality do not wear pricetags.. yet in the hunting community it seems the more money involved , the less ethics and moral character. I say if you can't hunt with honor and integrity .. stay in the truck.. Hawk
Swamp Bow:
I personally know people that "extend" their hunting season, truck hunt etc. I won't call the law on them because they only take what they "need" and use just about everything. They only keep the antlers and hides because the hate throwing things out, they have a pile of them in the corner. When they hear about trophy hunters I can see real disgust on their faces, usually followed by a few choice words I won't repeat here. The fact of the matter is they are more ethical than many/most hunters that stick to the seasons. Out of principle I can't condone their practices, and they know that I will refuse to participate. I will let it slide simply because even though they do enjoy taking an animal out of season, it really is driven by necessity, it's how they feed themselves. Not saying it is okay, but more along the lines that even hunters that bend the rules considerably would love to plant their boot in the backside of someone that cuts off a head and then leaves the carcass. Believe me they would if they caught someone doing it. No excuse for it. Me I keep my nose clean and if I see that sort of thing I call the law.

I wouldn't and couldn't shoot a Deer expressly for His Antlers....no way!.....but I have gone as far as to use a good Tag on a fresh Roadkill...that I watched happen....instead of leaving it there to be hit again and again...then just wasted....but if I would have had my Wife's truck instead of my Work Car...I would have just loaded it up and went Home with it...and not tagged it....thats the closest I have come to Poaching.....Now don't get me wrong...when I was living back in Da UP...eh.....and the Freezer was gettin kinda bare dere....I would load up da Wife...and go up to da Peshekee Grade (way out in da middle a nowheres)....and do some Hunting on Da Blacktop Ranch....wit a case of da Barley Pops....and da 8 track playing.....and before Ya knew it ya had a freezer full...but these were all tagged kills just not on legal property...fer dose dat don't know da Blacktop Ranch...is da County Roads...eh..... ;)
Hawk....I guarantee you that none of these went to waste...not when I was hunting for Me My Wife....and 6 of my 9 Brothers and Sister that were still at Home....after my Dad left Us behind.so these were like Welfare Food Stamps....only tastier...and easier to Swallow than State Aide........ :-[
hawkbow:
Hunting for food without a license is a whole different thing than killing for antlers.. I cannot judge other hunters, every man to his own.. But i personally will not poach.. unless it meant feeding my family..Hawk
