A hiker became lost out in the woods - for three days he wandered and lived off the land, drinking from streams, etc.
When some forest rangers found him, he had killed and was eating a Bald Eagle.
The rangers had no choice but to arrest him on the spot.
His trial came up, and he begged the judge for leniency saying, "I was three days with nothing to eat, so I had to kill and eat the eagle to survive."
The judge felt sorry for the young man and dismissed the case. Just as the hiker was leaving the courtroom, the judge, curious, asked, "By the way, what did the Bald Eagle taste like?"
The hiker replied, "It tasted like something between a Spotted Owl and a Whooping Crane, but just a little greasy like California Condor..."
lol!
