Default RE: Is Poaching Okay???

Lets see, no job, and no money! If you live where you can hunt very near to home, it won't cost much gas, and bullets are reasonably cheap. I'll give you that one. But for me, I'd have to drive an hour and a half to hunt deer! Thats gas money to and fro, with no guarantee of meat for the effort.
Now, you go out your door to hunt. Maybe a little trespassing, You get caught! A fine for tresspassing, a fine for hunting without a licence, a fine for illegal game, restitution for illegal game. Add to that for sure confiscation of your gun, and other hunting equipment. Possibly a bail bondsman and bail to boot! Very cost effective!
As others have said, maybe 1 in 100,000 cases would be justifiable! And please don't try to compare this to hunting being totally outlawed!
I'd say that if we hunt legal, be good sportsmen, and guard our sport from poachers and anti-hunters, we will never have to worry about being poachers because of our sport being banned!
