Poaching???

[dana]

Steep,
How many times can I answer the question for ya? But why can't you answer the question I throw at you? Hmmm. I think someone doesn't like to think the answer through so that someone avoids the question. Your comparison don't fly. Buying services, can mean anything from buying gas to buying a jug of milk. Would I hunt with a guide that has been convicted? Hmmm, I told you I don't work for Adams Lake because of their ethics, so why would I book a hunt with the same kind of people? And you say I'm going around in circles?

Dana, you should be a lawyer - you talk in circles and avoid the question. I'll make it easy for ya... Would you buy hunting services and/or supplies from a guide or outfitter recently convicted of serious poaching crimes that he knowingly committed so that he could profit???.... Yes or No?

Why wouldn't you?--probably a fire sale--bought a fridge down the road from a convicted pot grower--I nail shoes on the the kids horses of convicted growers. Do not make wildlife offenses more heinous than other more common crimes. IMO they are less. I can even answer the question--would I hunt with one--Maybe-maybe not-it depends. Have I hunted with some--yep. Does that bother you?

That wasn't so hard...

"Do you hold those against someone for the rest of their lives? Or is there a point that you learn to let go and forgive?"

Except for the grade 12 that broke my nose in grade 8 (although I periodically remind him that I would stomp him, now...) I don't have anyone to forgive for anything... If I did I'm sure that I would eventually...

No, and I don't care if you sleep in the corral, either... Some guys that I grew up with and now live up your way and ride loud motorcycles, but I still have a beer with them when I see them...

Are we having fun yet??? I'm dizzy and done.
