The king’s deer do not belong to you, and may not be hunted without his permission, even if they are on your own property.
Correction, the people’s deer. We have no king and to state that there is some other entity that has “ownership” of game or fish s silly at best (other than the God of Providence and His creation).
We hunters that buy licenses and equipment pay directly for the management of animals and fish, therefore taking them outside of the season/limits and w/o license is theft from all of us.
Now, certainly some folks hunt for survival, and I have no issue with that ( I stock my freezer and pantry with all sorts of wild foods, in season and by permit), however, living n society has costs, and the cost of licenses and seasons is that reasonable cost.
Few own property;only those with a land grant actually OWN,the rest of us pay annual taxes to be permitted to HOLD TiTLE.Stop paying property taxes and a man with a gun will come to take possession of the property. If the “authorities” think someone else will pay higher taxes,then they will send the man with a gun to take “your” property even though you have paid the taxes.
Free country my ......
Only when property taxes are abolished will the majority truly own property.
About a trillion years ago my cousin’s husband made the papers by getting caught carrying out the last remaining buck in Pasco county. Out of season naturally. :-)
