GK, if it were not for the sad fact that you actually believe what you are saying, your comments would be laughable!
You are talking about taking game out of season! Totally illegal! Anywhere, anytime! You are not talking about a "hunting method," you are talking about breaking the law, PERIOD!
You also mentioned spotlighting. Spotlighting for population control, or crop damage control, by permit, would be a legal method of harvest.
Other than that, spotlighting has always been a popular method of POACHING and is highly illegal most anywhere you go!
Also, I know that some people depend upon their kill to have meat to eat. For most of us hunting is a sport. While I use every morsel of meat that I get, if I were out of work and/or money, the first thing I'd have to give up after giving up my computer and internet service, would be hunting! I could buy more food with the money than I could ever bring home from hunting.
Even if you were poor and could hunt on the very cheap side, being poor does not give you the right to break the law! If you can justify, illegal hunting because of some "need," then I guess you can justify shoplifting, or even armed robbery too!
And Royak, I understand what you are saying about hunters making statements like "I got a deer last night," I'm sure they are refering to legal hunting hours, but you are right, it doesn't sound good!
