The 30 seconds before legal shooting time is a great point. I don't care what anyone tells me. I don't think anyone would think twice about shooting a deer before what the "rules" say is legal shooting time if there was enough light to see and a deer presented a nice easy sure shot. Those who say they would pass the shot up are lying and trying to be holier than thou. Hunting can bring out such uglyness in people, NO real wonder why we get portrayed so poorly in the media!
lets not get into what is holy or not..my topic was to only bring out what POACHERS are i feel doing now that heat is on them..
it makes me mad that they always find a way around it..if people were not so lax on giving licenseto others to tag a deer a lot of them would be caught..
also as said above heard on radio, a wco was on here last month from pa. and stated he heard a group driving deer last year and they said,HEY, HERE COMES GAME WARDEN, GET THOSE TAGS DOWN HERE FOR THOSE DEER..
if this continues ,we will have nothing to hunt..this is why i am against the juniors shooting the little bucks as i feel the adults shoot most for them and kid tags it..
now, before i get jumped on ,its not all of the adults ,but a heck of a lot.. thats another topic ..
if WE dont police woods and watch this stuff, we are going to loose our hunting..i dont like doing this at ALL,when there was lots of deer,MOST overlooked it..
but, our future is now in trouble and we cant let these law breakers ruin our sport..
its close to that now and i think most of us dont want to see,say a nice buck go to POACHER because he says, oh , i have kids to feed, i always did it,no one will stop me..
where are the TAGS!!!!!!!!!!
