Reported a poacher this morning

Well, hopefully he only gets a slap on the wrist but hopefully it scares him a bit.

Thats the outcome i would like to see.  Dont hang the kid, but enough of a scare to set him and his family on the straight and narrow.  I figure a turkey poacher is, or will be, a deer poacher.  This is a good opportunity to fix things without screwing up a dumb kids life.

I doubt they are poor.

That cabin looks like its still somewhat under construction. And I know that campers and trailers drop in value faster than fresh fish, but that trailer looks reasonably nice as well. Mainly though, its the wording of the post.

Please don’t criticize as this is his right of passage.

First off, no one who views a hunt as a right of passage would phrase it like that. If she were a grizzled, 4th generation mountain lady whose ancestor deserted the confederate army and they've been hiding out in those mountains ever since, that kid wouldn't have to do his "right of passage" by himself, wandering into the woods to shoot a random whatever, and he would have likely done it a lot younger than 14. She would know that hunting seasons exist, and she would definitely know not to brag about it on facebook. And if they were "new poor," they would have relocated to the suburbs, not the woods.

Who is she worried about being critical? Not other grizzled mountain folk. She posted it on "Off Grid Living For Beginners," which is a facebook group of tiny house eco-hippies. She's worried that the REI set would disapprove of the hunting in general, which is why she used such weird wording like "right of passage."

My guess. They decided to bug out to their 90% finished cabin to ride out COVID, and now they are cosplaying mountain men. They are "running low on meat" because they don't yet understand how to buy groceries when their aren't 5 grocery stores within a 10 minute drive.

 

  Wannabe off griders it said they live in Spokane how off grid could they be? And of course they have the internet ha ha. They have watched the equally fake mountain man show too many times. If they were living off grid and hunting for their sole meat supply that kid would have shot a lot more animals besides a turkey for a “rite of passage “  at the age of 14. I think Fred was right but I hope it’s a slap on the wrist for the kid. I love to hunt turkey but we are way overpopulated with them. He was being a stupid 14 year old and a turkey is a long ways from a moose etc. anyways it will be a good lesson for him but more so the parents.No way they didn’t “know” about hunting season.

They should just make him eat the whole bird.

I'm sorry that you guys don't know how to cook a wild turkey.... 

@Cab, my hunting partner, smoked his last bird and the flavor and texture was excellent. I'm not sure if he injected it with anything, but whatever he did worked!

Must have been injected and wrapped in bacon.

Another poacher done in by the old instabook. Self promoting idiots, obviously not off grid with cellphone and internet.
