It seems to only be an issue because of the internet and how quickly/easily word on this kinda stuff spreads, me-thinks thats why we're seeing so many changes in regs, or will in the future...

So...maybe its best to take a SSS-type approach to most situations NOT covered in the regs... or the grey areas that Libs will sh*t triangle bricks over  :rolleyes:
Theres plenty of room for all of gods animals.... right next to the mashed potatoes!

All we know is that he shined the light on bear and saw his ears laid back. We DON'T know that he shot the bear with the light shining on it. Its a fine line but it is the line between legality and illegality. I can shine a flashlight on a deer during daylight and then shut it off and shoot it and I'm legal, who says he didn't do this. He stated earlier in the article that he could see the bears snout with his naked eye, thats all he needs to make the shot. I feel that if there was an issue with this hunt that the game dept there would have already taken care of it.  :twocents:
I hunt, therefore I am.... I fish, therefore I lie.

That is a great picture.  no I would not have shot it even if it was legal but I would if it was a coyote or raccoon.  :dunno:  I dont really know why that is and wouldnt care if someone else did shoot it.

I was thinking Rasbo would be the first guy I'd send in. Meanwhile I'd man the camera.

Rasbo would be the logical choice since he is the epitomy of YAR

Is it just me, but my ears are ringing just at the thought of letting a 45/70 go inside a cave... :bdid:
To hunt and butcher an animal is to recognize that meat is not some abstract form of protein that springs into existence tightly wrapped in cellophane and styrofoam.

My thought exactly as I read this..  :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.
