Rangerod your right I know they got to have footage an stuff or may lose then job or show, but there's got to be a limit. Biggest thing to me is you get someone with no name you never hear much, but you get a star it's national new.

The people who make a living through hunting (hunting/fishing outdoor shows on the tube) are under a lot of pressure to produce and can tempt them into some unscrupulous behavior.

I used to have a sign over my desk at work that read "Wrong is wrong even if everyone is doing it. Right is right even if you're the only one doing it."
I tend to live by that. especially in this day and age with immorality everywhere.

People who do these things never think they'll get caught. You just can never know who might just be watching. I would hate to lose my hunting privileges.

I know I live in a different part of the world as others, here most don't care sad to say I've seen stuff make you puke, found a pile of at least 20+ dead some loined an hammed, some nothing gone bigger bucks just the head gone. Its a game to alot of them, if you kill one an eat it fine but to just waste stuff, I don't see it. Enough of my rant lol!

Don't be so quick to cast stones! I've known a couple hundred outdoorsmen over the last fifty or so years and can count on one hand how many have never broken fish and game laws! I'll take that back, I can't think of any but they have many trophies hanging about. I know I'm the perfect outdoorsman and have never broken a game law so I can trash talk them all just like you guy's, yeah right! So righteous and arrogant we who know nothing about the man! He's been through some tough times and maybe we aren't qualified to judge!

Blatant disregard is a lot different than something accidental.

I walked a mile in the snow and failing light to get phone service to turn myself in for shooting a 2” spike when I had a doe muzzy tag, it was my fault, I easily could have left it or loaded it up and went the 4 miles to home with it under the tonneau cover, but I didn’t because that wouldn’t be right.

Game warden took the call, told me to tag it and clean it and he would look at the head in the morning. Laughed and gave me a warning the next day.

People I hunt and fish with that show disregard for regulations I no longer hunt and fish with nor do I associate with them outside of hunting and fishing. If they can’t be trusted to follow the law then they can’t be trusted as a friend either.

Karma is a b#$&ch.

I hunt by myself on my own remote piece of land 500 miles from where I live, and I could get away a lot. However, my motto is that there’s not a deer or duck or turkey in the world worth getting in trouble with the law over.

And that's a dandy motto....or personal creed.

My 17 yo has some minor sponsorship for bass fishing he fishes local tournaments and does some internet stuff promoting the sponsors. There is a push to produce. last year he snagged a plastic mesh box (think lobster trap) that contained several bass, he called it into the sheriff (who has some powers extended to him by the DNR) at the lake they set up a camera and deduced who did it. The amount of $ even from small weekly pots is huge. More than I bring home in a week as a teacher. Just brings shame. The outdoors, Hunting and fishing is one of the best ways to teach morals to our kids. These jerks undermine these all important life lessons.

Noel Feather with a cup full of crazy…..

I had not heard that name for a long time, great bow shooter and hunter.

 

[davek42]

Do any of you remember Noel Feather? He was a big archery hunter with a lot of animals in the Pope and Young record book. He got caught poaching and all his record animals got kicked out of the book. I don't remember what all he got caught doing but it was pretty bad but I don't think it was as bad as Bridges.

Sorry to hear that, id lost track of Noe, to bad Noe went bad, he was a hell of an Archer…

Do Not ask Bridges for a good prb load to try on deer. He somehow knows a round ball won't kill anything larger than a quail.
