I told myself to stay out of this one, but I can't stand it anymore. I can agree with both sides of this debate on certain subjects, but for those of you that say "you'd never poach", just how many of you have been in the situation where you had to make a decision whether to provide for your families by killing a deer out of season or break the law? Its just a guess, but I'd say very few, if any. If you've not been in that situation, you can't possibly give a true answer. I know I can't. And for those of you that compared poaching to selling drugs? If you're selling drugs, you're ruining someone's life, but I don't ever recall a deer being poached having the same effect. For the record, I'm a firm believer in prosecuting poachers that are doing it just for the racks etc, but if it comes down to my family starving or me taking a deer out of season, you can bet I'll do my duty, as a provider, to do what I can to keep food on the table. just my .02
