Hunting Ethics, Right in my Backyard

.
As out conversation this week will be about ethics, I am posting these two incidents that occurred this week here in my own county.

Officer Loren Lowers of the FWC, was observing a baited area near Myakka City during the opening day of spring turkey season. Shortly before daylight, an individual arrived and sat within 20 yards of an electric feeder that had corn inside it. When it was daylight, Officer Lowers came out from his concealed location and identified himself. The individual was with his young son, and told Officer Lowers he knew the feeder was there, but was told it was empty. The feeder was lowered to show the individual it was not empty and still had a good amount of cracked corn inside the steel drum. The individual was cited for taking or attempting to take turkey over a baited area. He was also issued two written warnings for hunting license and turkey stamp violations.


FWC Lieutenant Tom Ware was observing a baited area near Myakka City during the opening day of spring turkey season. A short time before daylight, an individual approached and sat within 48 yards of an electric feeder that had cracked corn inside it. At daylight, Lieutenant Ware came out from his concealed location and identified himself. The individual said he knew there was a feeder somewhere, but didn’t think he was that close to it and that it was supposed to be empty. The feeder was lowered to show the individual that it was half full of cracked corn. The individual was cited for taking or attempting to take turkey over a baited area. He was also issued a citation for no hunting license and a written warning for no turkey stamp.

In both cases, not only where the perpetrators hunting over bait, which is illegal for turkey, they didn't even bother to get licenses! I have a call into the FWC for the officers to call me. I am going to post the names of the game law violators if the law allows, and I am forwarding it to the local newspaper.

It is time that we took these matters and brought them to the forefront. Warnings? Citations with stiff penalties should be the only answer to these kind of scofflaws. Only a sharp hit where it really hurts will stop these miscreants.

Regards,
Albert

When Outdoor Bloggers Think... I Thought I Could Smell the Smoke

I think we have hit an important milestone here at the Chronicles. 40 comments on a single post! Now that's not a lot compared to some of our illustrious fellow Bloggers, but I'm impressed none the less!

I wanted to thank everyone for participating and adding their comments, opinions, and rational to the argument. Even in the midst of heated debate, we kept our heads about us and maintained a civil and decorous discussion. Thank you all for a job well done.

We are going to analyze the post and the comments and try to synthesize the ideas into a "Memorandum of Understanding."

But before we can do that, there are still several areas in need of further exploration. Later this week we will pick it up again and discuss ethical take.

The question I will propose is, "What constitutes ethical take? When is it not ethical to pull the trigger?" Again I want to emphasize we want to think this through and answer with depth and clarity.

Boy oh boy, I can smell what's cooking!
