What has this country, Hell the WORLD, come to? We can’t even hunt our own meat to feed our families?
I feel the same way to a degree. But the laws were originally passed to allow over hunted species to recover. Deer are no longer over hunted. Turkey are no longer over hunted. In some states rabbits are in short supply. In Alabama feral hogs are open season year round. As a hunter I do believe that wildlife management is a positive thing as we have a healthy population of deer, turkey, and rabbits. But I do believe that you can harvest deer and rabbits on your own property during daylight hours for sustenance. But these dudes were poachers in most any state due to the lights and the darkness. As a hunting convesationist who has had to stop these types on my land, I think they should be busted. There are also health and reproduction of the population reasons not to hunt in the spring. Trust me when I say without seasons, rules such as daylight, and game management, there are enough clowns like these 3 to damage the populations of many species to the point there would be now legal hunting for years.
