To 49er,
If this and if that is not the issue.

I did not give my def. of what constitutes hunting and what constitutes hunting is not the issue.

This is not an issue of the right to bear arms.

This is an issue of whether he was hunting or not.

Bucky admitted that he was on the WMA to hunt.
He was checked out as hunting. I say again,he was hunting by his own admission.
He was standing on private property owned by the R/R ( you cannot legally walk on the R/R without permission from the R/R in Alabama) and bordered on both sides by mgmt area when contacted by the GWs.
Here is an if for you-
( If you saw someone you did not know in camo and a loaded rifle on your property you would want them prosecuted for hunting without permission or at least prosecuted for trespass.)

The issue is that he was hunting by his own admission, but when contacted by the GWs he claims he is not hunting right then or that he had finished hunting.
This is an issue about someone trying to find a way get out of a violation and not being able to admit that they messed up.

I honestly hate that Bucky got hammered but jeez, all he had to do was pull the bullets out of the gun while he was on the R/R.
