I'm thinking that if someone can get stranded in the "middle of the forest" then it is likely they won't be able to find a deer to poach .

There is a difference between vengeance and justice. I feel if the Goldberg's hired a hit man to wake the sob. That is justice. Though still legal.
If someonesay molested a kid of mine. I would kill themlong before the jury found them not guilty.
Lets all be honest people in this country are stupid for go sakes look at the election.
Sometimes it has to be done out side of the govt.
We all know he was guilty just the jury was stupid and the cops where corrupt

I call it the OJ Simpson effect, if you tell yourselfa liefor long enough, you even start believing the BS yourself.
U saying he is guilty?? I thought a jury found him innocent..lol... God took care of him..didn't he? The Goldberg family had to wait a while..but God says "Vengence is mine."

There are millions of deer. If my kids were hungry, and I had no other means, Id be a poaching machine.

I vote no. I'm not sure that anyone these days really has tolive off the land.
Maybe not in NJ.

I hate poaching. However, if I needed the food, and couldn't even afford the tag,I'd probably do it. For the "kill"or a set of antlers NO WAY. I don't see that ever happening for me but I suppose it could happen in some places.

As for people not needing to live off the land...move to AK. Most people up there I know shoot a moose and catch salmon for food for the year. Yep they live off the land alot up there.

If one is hungry and financially strapped ...God put the animals here for a way to feed people way before the DNR came into the game.
I agree with this.

The question posed was, "is poaching ever justifiable?"
My answer is yes. You can't put conditions about "people don't have to live off the land" or "anyone can afford a tag" etc. Put yourself if the worst possible situation and then ask yourself the question again. If the US gets invaded and wild stuff happens, is it not justifiable to shoot a deer in February to feed the family?


If the question were, "is it ever justifiable to run a red light?"
My answer is still yes, there is no difference.

Stealing in order to feed your starving family is illegal but ethical. The same reason applies to this. The law is the law however and if you get caught, just sayin'..
