There are considerations to think of about him feeding his family by poaching.............................was the first deer that he seen the one he shot or was he out there poaching for a big rack? When people break the law or do something thats against their morales they try to tell themselves what they have to trying to justify it to themselves.....................bottom line is it's still against the law or morally wrong.

With that being said if I was a Game Warden I would have a tough time writting someone up who was legit on feeding his family & he's actively seeking work or is working. On the other hand the guy out there in his new SUV or brand new F-350 4X4, wearing a rolex & outfitted from Gander Mountain etc...............................I would try to take everything he had including his socks.

You may ask where is the fairness in the above which I have written.................Like my Dad says "Fair is a carnival that comes to town in the fall!"
