Yet some meth head can come on my private property and steal my belongings and get a slap on the wrist. Where's the massive penalties to deter that?


I don’t disagree with you. I’m all for locking them up too. Or for that matter shoot em in the act.

I’m just making the point that if not for massive penalties, there is an army of hunters who will risk small to moderate impacts to their life to kill a deer like that. I’m not saying we as a society need to rank that need over other crimes, I’m just saying if you want to enforce law abiding behavior on this topic in a trophy county in a trophy state - in a society that’s pretty much totally socially degenerated - you’ll have to have these consequences hanging over folks heads.
I'm not disagreeing with you either.......especially on the shoot em in the act part. LOL!!!

The true mark of a man is not how he conducts himself during times of prosperity, but how he conducts himself during times of adversity.
