If you are looking for someone to tell you it is OK for you to sit until dark then just say so
atlasman,
IF I were looking for someones approval, it would be someone that I respected a lot more than I do you
what I really want to see is you high and righteous folks get off you high horse and quit waving fingers at everyone else. When you are guilty, or have been at some point of the same things. I am just tired of hearing from a bunch of hypocrites. Because unless you all are perfect, you have also made mistakes
A big difference is that you are doing it intentionally with full understanding that you are breaking the game laws because they aren't convenient for you.
That's exactly what you do when you speed. So theres no difference. Both are misdemeanors laws that a broken. You don't choose to look at breaking the speeding law as being the same, but you don't get to choose which laws to obey and which laws to ignore. Are you telling me that you have never intenitionally sped?????????????????????
Like I said it is what you do when no one is looking..............the laws are clear so there is no sense debating if it is right or wrong.
I never asked whether it was right or wrong. I asked how far does it go before the person is considered a poacher. Then the high and mighty (which aren't perfect and also break laws) jumped in and started saying that anyone breaks a law in any way is a poacher (right, wrong, indifferent, my fault, your fault, nobody's fault if a law is broken you're a poacher) We'll I am saying the same thing. In my eyes if you have ever broken a law for any reason then you are a criminal. You might not like the title or feel like it belongs but in my eyes your a criminal. It's amazing to watch people flop sides and start crawfishing when they find themselves guilty of the same things of which they have just been accusing others.[:-][:'(]
I see a lot of "letter of the law" responses ..... laws are NOT ethics and morals. I can gut shoot 10 deer this fall and lose 9 of them - well within the legalities of our bowhunting laws. I can pick up an untuned bow and go fling arrows at live game with no practice and break no laws in doing so. I'm legal guys .... so am I ethical ?
No.
The reverse is also true. There are times when the bounds of the law is unethical IMO. Breaking the letter of the laws in those instances does not a poacher make.
Yea, stealthy according to the high and mighty if I spot and animals that was oh let's say shot in the spine buy a spot lighter and has been laying in a field for several days unable to move but still alive (seen this). The animal is litterally starving to death dying a miserably slow death and I shoot it to put it out of it's misery, then I am a poacher................OK
