CharlieP and rybo,

It's not always as black and white as some here would say that it is. But if the people here are as righteous as they say they are then it's impressive. However, if a 160 class buck is working a scrape line toward me and I know it's getting close to the end of legal shooting hours, and the buck only likes two steps from being where I can shoot him, I am not going to take my eyes off the buck to look down and see if shooting hours have ended yet. If I shoot that buck and look down and see that I am 1 minute past shooting hours, I am not going to consider myself a poacher. It would be intersting to see just how many people here would look at their watch, in the same situation, and then not shoot even though it was 1 minute past shooting time, but there was still pleanty of light to ethically make the shot. Now this is obviosuly a different scenario then some of the others that have been mentioned and there is a much better argument for this being "poaching". However, in the turkey hunting scenario where I didn't have a plug and didin't realize that I didn't have it and me shooting the deer that was literally rotting to death the line is not so clear.
