Default RE: NY Conservation Officers

The reason no one frowned upon this activity was that this family only hunted in season, and in an otherwise very ethical manner.
ethical manner??

In the minds ofmany people thisfamilies activities were not criminal. They were simply hunting for their food.
simply hunting for food?? I wonder how much money State Troopers make where they have to hunt to eat.

On one occasion the son showed me the heads and racks of the bucks they had taken just that one year. I counted 24 bucks not including any spikes.
Simply hunting for food? Must be that doe meat is different than buck meat.

Where the line is drawn between hunting and criminal activity is really the heart of this topic.
Where the line is drawn? The line is pretty black and white. Buck tags are non transferable. You only get so many doe tags. You can only take game during legal shooting hours. etc.......... What "line" are you talking about ?

Stories like this make me sick[:'(]
