I am bored of this but will call bull on your call of bull on my call of bull. I would have to think identifying objects behind targets is much harder at night. If it was safe to hunt at night would the state not allow us to hunt legally at night?

You gotta be kiddin.

They can't coon hunt where he is from. Just aint safe.

Exactly night hunting is not safe point made finally thank you.

Holy crap page six is lasting forever I am out hope it goes to 7

I have now been pm'd and have been told to back out of the post. Because I am not a wildlife biologist. Did not know that was a requirement to post I did not read that in the sign up rules. That is all

That's hilarious! May as well fess up who pm'd it Especially to make sure no one thought it was me

He didn't say the mysterious PMer sent pics of Pines on fire, so couldn't have been you pal.

No need to be a biologist as long as you stayed at a holiday inn last night.

If everyone here was an expert...... they wouldn't be here to begin with.... they would actually be doing our State some good rather than arguing with a bunch of know it alls who know nothing.... Thank God we have aldeer so the potential know it alls can share their vast knowledge with all of us..... Take it as you may.........

They are damned if they do and damned if they don't.

Seven pages....woot woot!

What do I win?

Lunch with 49er!

Bring plenty of cash....

Not if they remain within the law.

But they won't will they?

And if you're trapping and killing hogs and doing it at night with their blessing after signing a statement that you will abide by all laws, then your word ain't worth any more than theirs.

Nobody should have to lie to do what needs to be done, Barry.

I'm not the problem and the people who raised the questions in this thread are not the problem. The problem is people at the DCNR and people who support them who don't mind lying in order to do whatever they want to do.

Until that changes, maybe you're right. I'll leave it to God to be your Judge, but I would read his Word carefully:

Holy Bible:
Revelation 21




Depredation permit agreement:



Every peace officer in this state takes this oath before assuming his duties:



What is the difference in a common poacher and a man who will lie in order to use a depredation permit to violate the law with the blessings of the same men who swore to support our constitutions and to discharge their duties to the best of their ability, then arrest a poacher and let the liar go when they've violated the very same laws?

I don't trust any of the three.

When has this ever changed...... We live among this everyday.... and it will continue to go on....

So 49er, you don't trust me because you have interpreted what I am doing, while discharging my official duties, to be unlawful?

Like I said, take your case to the legislature with a good lawyer and change it.

I'm for the people keeping government accountable, and it is full of corruption, but this issue isn't worth fighting given the severity of other potentially world-changing issues at hand. It has already been pointed out by several people that scientific collections are given exceptions as to the methods used for taking animals. If that doesn't satisfy you then take your case elsewhere. It does no good to run up 14 pages of bickering and posting current laws on a public site. Write the commissioner. Write Chief Moody. Write the legislature. If you placed as much effort into those channels you could change the law....perhaps.

No...... don't think so.....

Just trying to encourage him.......he has a lot of determination if we can help him head in the right direction.

Actually, I applaud him for being an informed and caring individual. Just not sure why so much effort is placed here instead of Montgomery.

Go forth and prosper.
