This topic really shows how “socially acceptable” poaching is.
The argument has been made for both sides. You have the morally right/wrong debate, fear of retaliation, a “no harm no foul” attitude, and letter of the law people. It’s difficult to say which path is truly the “right” one.
I will say one thing though, and not pointing to anyone specifically, but for as much as poachers are despised in the hunting community, that certainly doesn’t carryover to actually turning them in.
I don't know that it's socially acceptable based on this thread. This is one of those things that you can't answer honestly unless you are there.
I mean GMMAT told us the truth as he knows it..
But we'd each weigh the facts, the character of the people accused, what's here-say
vs what can we prove if we turn them in.
Plus the whole story and known details were not established early in the voting..so no, I don't believe this is an accurate sampling of what the hunting community would do.
