[QUOTE="PickettSFHunter, post: 5803091, member: 2171"] 😂 how do you know I haven’t? I can’t speak to any specifics on that, that would not be a good idea. We don’t even have a game warden functionally anymore and haven’t for a couple of years. The TWRA is aware we don’t have a functioning game warden but it hasn’t really been addressed yet. The current “warden” lives 2 counties over and barely makes it over here at all. Of course they are all constrained now by the private property ruling as well. We have a ton of public land that the warden could patrol but he can’t even make it over here so 🤷 I own tracts in a couple areas of the county but can’t get the “warden” to return a call, just pretty useless. Outsiders don’t understand the area but city slickers will sure act like they do. Poaching is the culture. You grow up in it, it’s just how hunting is done. There are not many exceptions. Everybody knows everybody if you are a native and not an outsider. You grow up with everyone, everyone talks, a lot are related. If I wasn’t shown how to actually hunt legally, I’m sure I would be in the same boat. All I saw growing up was all of my friends that road hunted, night hunted, shot deer, turkey, bear, wherever, etc. Just how it’s done, more of a game to them, see what you can get away with. You go out with your friends for a night of hanging out as a teenager and you can pretty well guarantee some deer are going to be shot even if you think your just going to a bonfire or something. It’s normalized, even teenage females that are out and about like that just believe that’s normal and continue to believe that throughout life. Some of them have grown up and stopped and a lot of them haven’t.
