RE: My Uncle the Poacher
Mark,
I look forward to Hunting with you and Casey in Texas. Bring your IBEP stuff-I need a crash course..
They come from all walks and all families...I just do not know why? There's a lesson here-I'm sure of that!
Chin up Buddy! See you in Texas!

1. Why would you go talking about?
2. Relax - it is not an atrocity.
3. Why would you be ashamed or embarrassedfor the actions of others
who you haveno control over?
I've always said, "Try to take something positive from a negative."Now you are related to some "famous" people.
If you feel these folk have embarrassed you and your family, especially since you'll be teaching IBEP (whatever that is - like hunter safety education?). I teach here in Illinois and maybe you should give them a call and thank them. Let them know that they are going to be a big part of your cirriculum.

RE: My Uncle the Poacher
Another question comes to mind................
why is this posted in the Bowhunting forum? The article said a .30-30 - not bow.
But wouldn't the Deer Hunting forum be more appropriate even though they weren't hunting as there is no Poaching forum?
Maybe there should be a Poaching Forum - kind of like a Wall of Shame.

You're not responsible for their actions.
You can't control what they've done and it doesn't make you a bad person for what they've done either. I can understand your frustration though.

Thats too bad man, but you didn't have anything to do with it, so don't kick yourself regarding it. I still get a kick out of the media again reporting that a .30-.30 is a high powered rifle. Idiots.

RE: My Uncle the Poacher
Haven't been through it and feel for you. But they can't hold you responsible for their actions. Just like the bad guy who goes to prison, yes stigma there, but it is not you and it looks like you are one of the good guys as proof of being an instructor. One thing to do to make sure someone doesn't bring it up or try to undermine you is to make mention of it the first day, and remind them you are not them and that it is better to be a good guy or be a poacher!
