I had an old bartender friend who used to say, when God made ducks, he didn't make seasons.....
Unfortunately for this guy, he should have known better after two felonies that he would be in deep stuff if he did anything wrong. I don't deer hunt, but I know there is a season and I also know I can't hunt even my own land out of season.
You should have read the article. He was hunting during the season. It took quite a while to get to this point. It takes time to get to a kanagroo court here in the east. They are too busy with other things [you think about it, come in late, take a long lunch & leave early to play golf with all of the rest of the bottom feeders {read as atty's}]
