RE: is this happening in your area?!?!?!?!
Poaching can never be justified under any circumstance!! There are much more effective ways to fight this issue than simply 'poaching'. What would happen if everybody that didn't get a permit said what the heck I got screwed so I am going to just go get one anyway-sounds like the old days when we killed everything nearly to extinction to me-arm yourself for next year-approach the problem don't kill the outcome because it will not be the ANTI in jail if you poach it will be the guy who does it by the book.
