RE: Is Poaching Okay???
I would have a hard time seeing the guy prosecuted fully if he and his family were truly destitute........
Another way he might get a break would be to go to his local police station and/or state police post and let them know he and his family were in need. The cops would surely try to reserve some road-killed deer for a needy family.
Trouble with that is that some folks find it hard to ask for a hand-out. Pride can be a powerful deterrent to doing the right thing sometimes. Some folks are not wired to admit hard times.
