if any of you have ever driven 1mph over the speed limit,drove without a seat belt, rolled a stop sign,rushed a red light. or let your insurance lapse a day, as well as tags and registration. then you broke the law. intenionally or not. or drove a car after" just 1 beer".to which will put over the limit 0.08 . i guess then you shouldnt be allowed to drive ever again. and never be forgiven for such a responsible mistake. i doubt highly there are any of you that have never had a ticket. the only fine ive ever paid in my life was for shooting twice the legal limit of dove when i was 30 something years old. it was $800.00. since that day i have not purposly broken game laws, and thats why i gave the duck to the game warden and told him what happen and how.ive not been making excusses, ive been trying to explain myself an make amends. ive said i was wrong and i was sorry countless times.and if you all cant accept that, then thats your problem not mine.
i just hope that when you screw up theres a cop or game warden nearby. maybe youll think about it.

Splash, I realize people go through tough times and everything, but somehow all these excuses you are coming up with aren't buyin it for me.
First you posted the picture of a mallard you poached and you said "I shot it because my mom was talking about how she missed a duck dinner" and then now I hear you post another thread about killing mulies with a 22mag saying "yepp I shot it, to feed my family when the price of oil droped and everything." Thats bull **** splash
If I was in your situation splash:
I would do everything I possibly could to put clothes on my kids back and food on the table. That would mean selling, every luxary ideam that I own (thats including shotguns, rifles, handguns ect) because there would be more important things to worring about.
And you can guarenttee that I would not be on this forum posting threads about how I killed mulies with a 22mag and **** like that because I would be to busy working muliple jobs to support my family!
i guess you dont read too well. that was in 1971, i was 7. yes i agree you sell everything before breaking the law. and thats what my dad did. T H A T S W H Y W E O N L Y H A D A 22 MAG.DONT CONFUSE MY EXPLAINATION FOR AN EXCUSS. IVE MADE MY APOLIGIES, AND IM DONE TRYING TO EXPLAIN IT TO EVERYONE. i guess i should ave sold my hotwheels.

We were goose hunting from a small island yesterday morning.
The island is center river and downstream from the hydro plant, so it catches some floating debris on a regular basis.
Whenever we hunt it, we try to pick up and cleanup whatever we see, just in an effort to keep the area clean and pristine for the wildlife.
There was a small igloo cooler resting against a tree. It was old and faded and had obviously been in the elements for some time, so I was obliged to take it away when we finished our hunt.
When I reached the cooler, I noticed that there was an empty oil bottle wedged into it, serving as a makeshift lid of sorts.
Seeing that as something that was unlikely to have occurred by accident, dislodged the oil bottle to find a dead hen mallard inside.
Now, it's been relatively warm around here, so this duck hasn't been there no more than one or two days.
Our general duck season closed on January 24th, so this was obviously a poached hen.
In review, some scumbag shot a hen out of season, and as if that wasn't bad enough, they then stuffed her into a cooler to hide their crime from prying eyes. It's not very likely that had any intentions of coming back for it.
what kind of geese were you hunting?
-
that looks really gross.
-
Believe what you like. I could really careless what any one thinks. AND YES WE STOP ON OUR LIMIT.

Never judge someone until you have walked a mile in his shoes.

You know what, Splash?
Anyone who reads your posts and then reads those of the eighteen year old can easily see who is the more intelligent, articulate, and mature of the two.
And to simply put it into terms that you may more clearly understand, "its sombody other then youself".
just stating facts,about RESPONSABILTY.

i see splash and his kin have been poaching fore some time mulies with a 22 on the big game forum
yep , sure did . to eat. we lived in s. west texas my dad lost his job in 1971when the oil boom ended. a 22mag was all we had. when you have hungry children, you do what ever you have to to feed them. you might be suprised what youll do when your hungry. but maybe you never saw hard times as a child.
-
wow, our limit here is 1 buck and 2 doe with a permit.
-
here in Illinois, you have to have a waterfowl stamp on your hunting licence. When the seasons over,(even if you didn't know it was over) The stamp has expiried. If that is true in Texas, you didn't have a license.
no i bought my license in sept when they were made available, i do every year. and bought the stamp the 1st of feb.
-
AHH so thats it you have to kill your taste buds with JD first. no really ive had it several diffrent ways. i just dont care for it. i have friends that will eat duck but not dove. and man i can eat my wieght in dove. i had a record year for dove last year. ever time i went, i limited out in 45mins to an hour.and every time we cooked up a limit, id go out and get another one.

REPEAT.........well you know how it is. most 18 yr olds know everything and never admit to ever doing no wrong. with very few "REAL" responsabiltys to anything more than having fun.i have a few more. house payment, 2 car payment,tags, registration, insurance on both, utilitys,a diabetic wife , a stepson with A.D.H.D., medication for both, food cost and a job that keeps me at work more hours than most people are awake. but no more than any other adult. ive made a lot of mistakes in my life and will make a few more im sure.so i shot a duck out of season... so what. if thats the worst mistake i ever made, i would be in good shape. and if there are anyone on this planet that can honestly say they never made any mistakes, then i bow my head to you. you are truly a supreme human being.
i turned it over to the authorites, and have said i was in the wrong and im sorry more times than i can count. so if you cant accept that and keep harpin on it. it only shows your immaturity.

We make a lot of summer sausage, beef sticks, even brats out of duck and geese.
Noting new to me either.
wouldnt that be duck sticks??
-
A poacher is also a dumbass who either doesn't respect the game laws or is just TO DAMN STUPID to pay any attention to them and unknowingly take an animal out of season, thus this person should not be allowed to hunt any animal what so ever.
read up on your game laws , worm.

my true love is dove and deer hunting. and i guess im gettin soft, cause when i see a big beautiful buck , it almost saddens me to kill him. they are fantastic creatures.
ive bagged more dove than i could ever count. got my first mule deer at age 12, first turkey at 16 man are they bugger to dress.
my tally so far is;
whitetail-2, 1 4pnt,1 6pnt
mule deer-5, 2 spikes,2 4pnts, 1 10pnt
4 turkey
ducks several hundred, and 1 out of season that i will never live down.

cabelas had a bolt 12ga afew months a ago with a 36" barrel. talk about overkill.
-
and how do you get "beef sticks" out of ducks??
a "bunch of spices"??thats some recipe you got there. -
maybe your not as smart as you claim.the definetion of a poacher is some one that "knowingly" shoots or takes game out of season, or has no license, exceds the limit,our shoots after hours or by spot light, including hunting within 100' of a road or hiway. as well as hunting from a car . unless parapledgic.
-
you know the ironic thing?? i went up and bought a duck stamp first. not even realizing season was over.

I don't know. I hear that poached duck can be pretty tasty.
"ANY" duck is nasty. taste like liver.cant believe you admitt to NOT knowing something:D

Hey splash I'll buy your shotgun from you dude, because obviously your to irresponsible to handle it.
.....maybe in a few years you can buy it back from me after your balls drop and you mature a bit. And hey that'll give you some time to actually read the regs and learn when duck season actually opens and CLOSES.
Hey splash let me ask you a question though:
Did you poach that mallard because you are incapable of killing a duck during duck season or what?
And just because you poached a mallard that was swimming across your pond, that doesn't give you the title of a "duck hunter" just to let you know......
i never made any claim to be a "DUCK HUNTER" . i hadnt really made any plans on killing one. i prefered to watch them swim around. my dad was the duck hunter.he used to hunt them for my mom, cause she loved them. i personally dont care for the taste. she called last christmas reminissingabout him,who died in 1987. and said it had been a long time since she had, had a duck dinner. i thought what the hay.
it was a fools move, i gave no thought to season being closed.admittedly not the brightest thing i ever did.i hadread somewhere that lead had been made illegal on public waters, but that was probably16 yrs ago.
i prefer to hunt dove, quail,[what the fireants dont kill first] and whitetail deer. sometimes mulies in deep s.west texas. but tell me 18 year old he man how do "YOU" cook your duck?? what recipes do you have.and as far as you buying my shotguns, its gonna take you a while to save that much allowance.
