I 100% agree with akbound on this one. Taking game out of season seems to be the "norm" for the family. Do you think it will stop because somehow...someway the family gets a little extra $$ to put food on the table(if that's REALLY the case)? I tend to disagree. That family needs to learn how to ask for help. Example...here in MN(if hunting the correct areas), I'm able to shoot 5 deer. I wouldn't shoot that many becasue I don't know what the heck I'd do with the meat of 5, but if there was a family that needed meat....heck ya I'd shoot 5 and donate it to them. Heck...I'd even cut it up for them. It wouldn't cost them a dime. And I know atleast 5-10 others right now that would shoot their limit of 5 if need be and give it to them.
Tomster,
Since we don't know why he is doing this, I would try to find out. Also, how many of you break the law every day?? I'd say almost all of us do. Do you drive at 55 mph while in a 55 mph zone or do you push it up to 65 to 70? You know you are beaking the law but yet you still do it. We want to get to our destination faster and we know we can get away with slightly higher speeds while not getting a ticket. Do you drive closer to other drivers than you should?
To try and compare the taking of PUBLIC game out of season or even in season and taking over-limits and speeding IMO is extremely far fetched. By speeding, I simply run the risk of getting a ticket. I'm not depleteing a public resource.
