Default RE: Respectable poachers...if there is such a thing.

I'm from NW PA, and we have a problem with the Amish folks killing more then their limit. (They are allowed to have no more then 2 deer in the household ant any time, other then legally take during the hunting season. But I believe this, if, at a last resort, the family needs food, and there is an opportunity to respectfully take game, this is not a problem, in my eyes. Now with that said, poaching is poaching. I believe there are enough services out there to feed hungry folk, its just that they are too scared, (or proud) to take advantage of these programs. Not to sayI have slightly more respect for people taking and using the animal properly, I can’t be sure. But I would rather they use it then to just waste the deer totally, right?
