Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire When Will Poaching Be Acceptable to The Fire?

Dayamn, got the ol lady a gyro from place down the road.
Stinkin up the whole house.

We hit that joint once a week.

How many rolls of TP do you have? Cases of bottled water?

If you need meat after this has lasted "all summer", and you hoarded that non-essential stuff..................you better get to bartering with the folks that hoarded up all the freezers and filled them with the pork loins and family size burger packs when there was no TP and water left to hoard.

And do that bartering BEFORE you start poaching.

Then it will be OK with this 'fire member.

Geno

PS, if you didn't hoard TP and/or water, then barter away some non- essential stuff to those that have meat..........you know, stuff like pictures hanging on the wall, lamps, blankets, etc.

I don't think being uncomfortable to justify poaching.
Even if its easy and you can get by with it.
Its gotta get truly bad before I take critters out of season.
They be making little ones for hunting when things get back to normal.

Shoot a button buck if it comes to it.
Leave does alone.

Hmmmm, not too concerned about folks killing all these %$#@ Canada geese in the parks and retention ponds.
Fuggin poop machines.

Not when one hits your vehicle or eats your crops to the ground. I see no reason if you want a deer to eat go and get one, just don't come on my property because I feel the deer belong to me.

Pffft, I don't care a bit what anybody on here thinks about it. If I get low on food somethings gonna die.

I don't think the situation is going to get dire enough that people have to feed themselves through poaching.

But if worst comes to worst buying a beef on the hoof would feed a lot of people.

Lot's of cattlemen around here. 2 or 3 men could get together to buy a beef. Find somebody who could do some decent butchering.

It would cost some money and labor. But there's lots of food out there.

Where are people going to get money to buy a beef if this thing goes on for months ? Not everybody is retired and collecting pensions/social security and most people I know are out of work right now for an undetermined length of time.

I wouldn't fault somebody for taking game out of season if it was necessary.

I don't see it getting to be that bad, however.

Damn this is the dumbest thread yet... Is anybody here going hungry yet? It's been a whole week or less since you've been "inconvenienced".

If I get hungry this is the last place I'm gonna give a [bleep] what they think if I kill something.

I agree, get outside, read a book quit dreaming up worst case scenarios and posting your bullshit on here.

I'm out..............

if got really bad i'd do it, plenty of hogs down here, might even know someone when they were a teenager use to walk 10 or more miles into the king ranch.

During times of war, and food rationing, people often had Victory Gardens to supplement their diet. Anyone considering that alternative this spring?

Kentucky and Barkley Lakes are over-run with Asian Carp. Commercial fishermen are pulling multi thousand pounds out of them and it's not even making a dent in their numbers.

The only way they will ever get rid of asian carp is to put them into the Mc Fish burgers.

I told my wife yesterday that when I hear shots in the forest, I'll be going the other way. Guys out of work will be dropping does for meat to save money for beer. That is the way it will be. Probably more of a "want" than a real need. Need is for beer money.

The posted video shows how to cook the silver carp. (the jumping carp)

They're a different species than most people think of as a carp.

It appears to be a very good fish to eat. The commercial fishermen who work kentucky and barkley lakes bring in huge numbers of them every time they go out. I'm sure if you were around when they brought a boat load in they would sell you a big one for a couple of bucks. In other words, they're cheap and easy to come by. And by all accounts, it's about impossible to fish them out.

There's a lot of food out there.

I haven't heard any shots around here lately so I don't think it's starting yet. Poaching does go on in this area though and always has as far back as I or my father and grandfather could remember. We've got a family up the road that is well known for doing it regularly. Many folks in the area know but don't report it because it's sort of accepted and lots of folks have done it themselves in lean times.

Costco. Noon today:

We might get a little tired of free range pork, but we wont be going hungry....

Think not! Would love to seen a landowner charged for taking one out of season on their own property. A judge might convict but a juries verdict would take two minutes for not guilty and likely attempt to tar and feather the prosecutor. GW

Tomorrow, eat all the Democrats first, beware they will leave a bad taste in your mouth. GW
