some people are never considered "off the clock"..........the problem is, some people are considered important and relevant when they're really not.....TV stars, Sports figures, etc.........actually, I'd rather peoples opinions and beliefs are well known.

unfortunately, when you sign a big dollar contract with a TV Station, sports team or any other high profile job that what you say or do, is considered a reflection on them, you have to live with your actions and suffer the consequences.......I guess what they stand to lose is much more than they make from the celebrity they employ....I'm sure there are a few on here who have jobs, that if they went to work and openly voiced their anti whatever opinions openly in the work place, would find themselves on the unemployment line.

but, it's ok to pimp out your obese 12 year old on a TV show like "Here comes Honey Boo Boo", make her look like half a retard, and the public and producers of the show have no problem with that? God help us........

that's just as offensive to most hunter's as the picture that was posted.....good job.

back in the day, you only had one tag, it was either sex during archery and buck only during the regular season and if you were lucky you got a party permit that was shared between 2-3 guys, I don't think that stopped anyone from hunting.........maybe a lot of guys have gotten spoiled by the multiple tags that have been given out in the past years.

didn't certain religions speak out against homosexuality for years? don't remember them ever being condemned.

but yet, it's ok to put two humans in a pen and let them beat each other senseless......actually it's just another form of animal out there performing for the enjoyement of some...............amazing what we consider entertainment.

it's just the shotgun season that's weekends only...why? I have no idea.

that's a pretty accurate statement...

archery runs from Oct. 1st till Dec. 31st.........followed by a shotgun season during the month of January, Monday through Friday, no weekend hunting.

why would anyone ruin a perfectly good crab by covering it in sauce? kinda like dousing a good steak in ketchup........

I put "damprid" in my gun cabinet...I get it at Home Depot.

pelvic bone

I have a Glock 40 and an LCP .380...............the LCP gets taken out 95% of the time because of the size.

the whole problem is lack of access to the land where the deer are creating a problem, you could implement all the above and I doubt it would make that much of a difference.

with it being this late in the season, I would have shot it even if I saw the spikes............congrat's.

just looked at it and I gotta agree...........it may only come across the right way to those who already know what it means.

same here, been using the hot soapy water method for years........

even if you gave me your rifle that shoots that well at 1000 yards, I bet I personally couldn't make that same 1000 yard shot..................most of the time it's the shooter or the optics that let the rifle down, not the other way around.

I'm fairly confident you'll as many in the trespassing community who are local residents who know when land owners are not around as you will in the community of hunters who are non locals who trespass..........it doesn't matter where they are from or what zone they hunt.

5-10 minute response time is pretty good....and I can't imagine me killing it in front of her would make it any less traumatic, probably even more so.

my point is, that unless I'm the one responsible for causing an animal to suffer, I'm not going to engage in illegal activity to make it right..............no way I'm going to shoot a deer in the middle of the road at night if it's been hit by a car and risk getting the wrong Officer show up and hand me a fist full of tickets, I've encountered deer and dogs that had been hit by cars, I make the phone call and wait for the proper authorities to show up and take care of it............if someone else feels the need to take care of it, thats ok with me too. If I'm 1/2 a mile back in the woods and a deer crawls past me with its back legs blown off, different story.

animals die horrible, slow deaths all the time in nature............unless I'm personally responsible for causing that pain and suffering, I feel no need to stick my neck out and do something illegal to end it, and I lose no sleep because of it.

finishing off a deer that you personally shot at a time reasonably close to shooting hours, although still illegal, is much different than deciding to go out in the middle of the night with the intention of doing the same...........as far as feeling morally obligated to shoot a deer on the side of the road that was hit by a car, I do not...........much like I do not feel obligated to do the same to someone's dog, a farm animal, or even a Bald Eagle........how many of you who feel the need to kill a crippled deer on the side of the road to end its suffering would do the same to the other animals I mentioned? I mean after all, an animal in pain is an animal in pain.

it may not always be just getting a ticket........you always run the risk of losing hunting privileges when convicted of an ECL violation.......and with the new Safe Act, if someone is a pistol license holder, and for whatever reason they get their license revoked because of the violation, they're now required to turn in ALL of their guns.
