Yeah , I'd call them criminals instead of poachers ,
but I still wouldn't poach personally . I hunt for pleasure and meat , not racks , but I don't need the meat . Even if I did I wouldn't poach .

So then , how many more out there would never hunt again if hunting was banned?
I've read replies from some of you folks on different threads that have said "if hunting was banned I'd be a poacher"
But yet there's no excuse for poaching now?[&:]
I also find it interesting how some folks post about their hatred for welfare and gov't handouts (tax payers money[
]) over on the political forum but then refer to it as a better option over illegally killing a deer to feed your family.
Non-issue .
If hunting were ever banned then I wouldn't be able to hunt legally and would therefore be a poacher if I did . Reference the quoted comment , it applies here too . I love hunting , but never will love it enough to go to jail for . It's just a frickin' hobby , not a way of life .
BTW , I detest welfare and would eliminate it right now if I could . Nobody ever
gave me anything because I never asked and wouldn't . If you live somewhere that has no work you don't need to poach ,
you need to move to where the jobs are . I've done some pretty crappy jobs to get by in the past , and jobs are out there , so there is no acceptable reason to poach .
