BEWARE! rant ahead:
First let me say I see nothing wrong with shooting a "legal limit",BUT- if the hunter we are talking about is one that has a freezer full of pheasants, doves, ducks or what ever that he can't or won't cook and eat or worse yet is just throwing away! Well- I don't care how skilled he or she is their GREEDY! I even don't care if every time I visit this guy he offers me some cleaned and frozen birds to take home. He should find a clays game he likes, a regulated shooting grounds where the birds are paid for or take up bowling! When I am out for a day of bird hunting and run into a guy with birds in the bag and he offers them to me my blood starts to boil! I know he is most likely looking to unload birds so he can continue killing. I am actually to a point where when I'm told "oh I donate my game to food banks" I get angry! The way I see it sport hunting is the art in life. I know small numbers still subsistance hunt and I know what they do with their game. A limit is only for those who use it on the table. I have even quit hunting with friends who ask me to take their game so they don't have to haul it home; "the wife complains when I bring these in the house". Hey golf in the summer, ski in the winter. Heck! Take up knitting! Hunting is more than skillfully killing. If a person does not know how to use game after it is taken they should not have taken it!
