Default RE: What is poaching?

everything is not so black and white.
It's up to the court to look into that thin edge between black and white for any gray area and, since I'm not too hot on the idea of banking on the hope that some judge would agree with my assessment of 'grayness,' I obey the law.

Of course, you guys who would hunt on Sunday in states that don't allow it, once you're busted for it you might be able to get your case all the way to the Supreme Court and get the law thrown out. I wonder what effect the media exposure would have on public sentiment regarding hunting.

There are ways to get laws overturned without taking that risk. Join your state hunting organizations. Write to your state consgressmen. Write to the DNR. Express your views. VOTE! They won't do anything to change it until they see a lot of popular support.

Just going out and breaking laws you don't agree with is stupid, whether it's poaching or not.
