And his dove hunting compadres.Stick Em Up, is a game in which you will use your skills, your wits, and your arsenal of guns and explosives to pull off cunning, exciting, and sometimes messy heists. It was our UPS driver last one I seen get the ticket. Wrote about it on either here or F&S before. Whether fish or game, if you mix your take together and it exceeds ONE limit, you all get a ticket. I've seen the write ups with my own eyes. My goal, every time, is to limit out and shoot 50% or better w no cherry picking.ġ5 friggin birds and a sunburn is enough.If you would have put your birds together IN THE FIELD here in Missouri it would have cost you around $400 each in fines. IM DONE.įinally dawned on him I was telling the truth. Told him im in the shade now, drinking cold water on a chair. Just could not understand how I was done. Asked about my gun, so we walked to my blind, uncased it and showed him it was empty and he checked for a plug. Opened the communal cooler and that many birds were there.ĬO was dumbfounded. I limited out and put my gun in case, was sitting over in my buds dove blind watering the dog when the CO came up to check.Īsked how many we got, bud said 5 or something, and I said I limited out so add 15 to whatever he said. I’m starting to think I should take one given a legal opportunity but kind of hoping not to face that decision.
I’m not sure how many damage permits are given out to farmers but I wouldn’t be surprised it it rivals the actual hunting harvest totals. I still have no real desire to shoot one but their numbers keep increasing to the point where they’re more than just a nuisance. It’s been about ten years or so since the DEC added our management unit for them. I’ve been having a similar conversation with people I know locally about our bear population. As much as I’d like to start coyote and crow hunting seriously the whole killing for the sake of killing just doesn’t appeal to me. It also seems the line gets blurry between game animals and varmints or predators. I suppose when critters are plentiful it changes some peoples mindset to an extent. It made me think about how back in the day the things were considered on a level with rats and cockroaches, any chance you had to shoot one wasn’t second guessed at all. The Kid popped a woodchuck out by our garden last week, when he came back in the house he commented how he hates to shoot them just because. Not including the idiots who post their illegal exploits on social media. When I hear stories like these it makes me wonder how common it is and how long it takes before the offenders get caught, if ever. This might be more than my 2 cents.my apologies.Never apologize when you know you are right. This might be more than my 2 cents.my apologies. Not "wrong.".ĭon't shoot it if you're not saving your own life, or you don't want to eat it. They have their own taste, and it's just different. Deer doesn't taste like beef, and gamebirds don't taste like chicken. But you will never have such delectable meat in your life. We don't get to have everything just because we desire it.Īlso,do you even know what you are missing? Yeah, it's a little work to clean and store the game. It may be a lesser experience, but get over it. It's a sign of maturity to hunt, but not kill.
Realize that killing is only a part of the process. Those that do as in #1 are pretty reprehensible. But we are in the situation that we are mostly fat and sassy, with high calorie food available for cheap-cheap. Like a cat that kills out of reflex, we are driven to hunt.
