RE: A little Devil' s Advocate Anyone?
The law is the law. Like it or not, that' s the way it is. If you choose to not follow the law, then you choose to pay the consequences. I learned this the hard way in 1985. Because I chose to cross that ethical line I' ll never be able to hunt with any modern firearm again. As a result of thinking I would never get caught, I can now only hunt with a bow. As Jason said, people can change and crossing that ethics line is not like losing your virginity. I am a very ethical person now in every aspect of my life but I still can' t use a firearm. If you break the law and you get caught, and you will eventually, you will pay the price for it. Is it worth it? Also think about this, we as hunters are a minority in the general population. Every year the state legislators try and abolish hunting in 1 form or another in 1 state or another. If you choose not to follow the hunting laws set up in your state, you give the anti hunters more ammunition to fight with. They can say, " See it doen' t matter what gaming laws we pass. The hunters just shoot whatever they want!" Take it from a convicted felon who lives with the consequences of his actions everyday. Read my signature below.
KEEP IT LEGAL, KEEP IT SAFE, OR WE MAY NOT GET TO KEEP IT AT ALL!
