Forgot to buy his license........I don't buy it. He is one of those guys that plans on saving a little money by not buying a permit/license if he doesn't shoot a deer. I am sure this happens more than we think.[:'(]
EXACTLY!!!
And for all the guys (yeah bring it on LOL) who don't think this is poaching think again. I'll give the guy the benefit of the doubt and agree for sake of discussion that he honestly "forgot to buy a license". That's fine, we make mistakes all the time, myself first. Now... as soon as he registered the deer and took it home knowing it was not legit, HE BECAME A POACHER!!!
Knowing something is wrong and still following through with it anyway is what a poacher does!
If you made an honest mistake and put something in your coat pocket at Walmart by accidentbut didn't realize it til you were walking out the sliding doors it's one thing. If you are caught on camera going out the sliding doors, pulling the item out of your pocket, realizing your mistake, looking left and right then continuing to your car, YOU HAVE JUST BECOME A THIEF!
Tell me, what is the difference between the hunter and the walmart guy? Nothing, they both had a chance to stop their honest mistake from turning into a crime but they didn't. There's the intent right there!
