I have alot more respect for a poacher feeding his family then a welfare moocher. At least the poacher is putting some physical effort into it.
Problem is poaching cause they really need the food is a rarity. Almost all, of the poachers I know don't do it for the food. If they did, they wouldn't come home with the big rack.
I lived my whole life in WV and Ky, and know a bunch of people who said they had too for the family and all. But most of them was too lazy to work, big drunks, couldn't hold a job down like my ex father inlaw, and then bought home the big rack they got at night. Hey, I lost my dad at 6mo old to a war, my mother had to raise my bother and me and go to nursing school, and we always had food on the table. Yea, we had to raise a garden and most of the family had chickens and all to help us. I managed to get a scholarship to a college and have been an engineer for 12 years. If we can make it, they can too.
