Opening Weekend

[WWhiskey]

Doesn't matter how many there are, violating game laws is still wrong. 

so sue me

so sue me

I am not inclined to sue people, but I am inclined to call TIP lines when I see violations of our game laws. Pretty humorous to see people squirm when the Game Warden shows up.  I've seen peoples fishing gear and the vehicle they drove to the place get confiscated over a few undersized bass. The look on those peoples faces as the tow truck drove off with their brand new mini van (In Transit sticker still in the window) was absolutely priceless.

yea i bet you would have loved it when they hauled me off for shooting that bear that was killing pigs at the PSF farm in N.W.texas! so what ? i told the judge that i would do it again if i needed too, she said she would call N.M. game and wildlife and tell them too stop releasing there bears in texas, since i had already said i would shoot the next one i saw on my, or PSF  land!!!
 game laws are fine and your right, some of them are there for a reason, but they don't know everything about everything,and any place were you can easily kill twice your limit in less than a day, over and over, there are too many!

Protecting livestock from predators is an entirely different matter than taking twice your daily bag limit in one day.....but you knew that.

and any place were you can easily kill twice your limit in less than a day, over and over, there are too many!

Bag limits are there to not only protect the game we hunt/fish for, but also to ensure that others get to enjoy the same hunting/fishing opportunities as well.......but you knew that already also.

You are more than welcome to have the last word to make whatever attempt you like at justifying breaking game laws.

So, this went from a friendly hunting thread to an argument? Like I said, I always have thought it was 12 per 'session' and thats how I've always hunted.

Don't you get a copy of the regs for your state when you purchase a license?  They're free in Ohio at least.

No, we dont in Texas. We usually get an annual hunting booklet though. Academy was out when we got the hunting liscense.

But... I seriously doubt that we'll have another day like opening. That was the best dove hunting I've ever had.

They are free in every state I have hunted in, North Carolina, Nebraska, Colorado and Alaska.

Check your PM's Golfer.

screw shooting doves!!!!

someone start shooting these Golly-gee canadian geese!!!!!!!!!!

Amen! to that brother

They've become a hazardous nuisance her in NJ. There are some parks kids literally cant play in because of all the goose crap
But they refuse to let you kill em or they will loose some sort of federal funding

That's because geese are classified as migratory game birds (even though some Canada goose populations are not migratory). The feds set all migratory game bird seasons and bag limits and states lose federal funding if they don't follow the federal regulations.

Colorado has a non migratory Canada goose population that numbers around 250,000 iirc. The state wants a special season just to cull their numbers but the USFWS won't allow it.

[Reschke]

They need to start culling some of those damn resident Canadian Geese that never leave the state down here in Alabama. The thing is that most people don't realize that you can kill them since they normally see them around the local water features at the office parks here in Birmingham. Then when you are out on a field hunting about 45 minutes outside of town and they come flying over the dang things get a free pass because people believe that they are protected.

Few of ours migrate.they seem to like it here..YEAR ROUND.
Like I said. they are becomming a hazard. And already are in some areas.poisoning ponds and covering parks. And I mean playground type parks with their fesses.
They need to start doing something.
They are at the point where they are more like a rat infestation problem
then a few groups of birds here and there.
Arrogant bastages too. they literally expect cars to stop for them. They dont even try to get out of the way anymore.
 And they will attack you too!
I've ummm accidentally hit a couple over the years.
I didnt go out of my way to hit em. but I didnt try real hard to avoid them

I coulda had a 4 fer.  a couple of weeks ago.
But someone was standing by the road.
Damn

[DREDIOCK]

Almost forgot.
Saw a beautiful sight about 6 months ago.
Im sitting at a light waiting for it to change and I look over and see a whoel group of the nasty bastages.

Just as the light turned green and I was starting to go All of a sudden a red tail Hawk came down and nailed one of the ones that was away from the group.

I was like YEA BABY.

1 down 999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,954 to go

yakknow,

i'm not a fisherman(seems agonizingly boring to me), and not a hunter, as i spend my spare time flying,



but to lose your vehicle over a couple undersized fish.....seems seriously extreme. top that off with what could happen to the person that "tipped" the game warden off............well........yo u know the rest.......

yep.....just as bad here in the cherry hill area. i've seen near accidents from these stupid(and i DO mean stupid) creatures just wandering out into traffic, paying no mind to the big 3500# loud things comming at them.
