[QUOTE="Southern Sportsman, post: 3308335, member: 10399"] I agree with this. I don't know the details of his first legal issue so I won't comment on it, but I think hammering him for calling turkeys for others is a bit ridiculous when it is undisputed that he didn't have a gun or kill a bird. I know that it violated the letter of the law, but IMHO, the TCA definition of "hunting" is way too broad. ("'Hunting' means chasing, driving, flushing, attracting, pursuing, worrying, following after or on the trail of, searching for, trapping, shooting at, stalking, or lying in wait for, any wildlife, whether or not such wildlife is then or subsequently captured, killed, taken, or wounded and every act of assistance to any other person"). He would have technically been in violation of his parole if he had stood on his back porch naked at sunset, while drinking a beer, and owl hooted to locate a turkey if he relayed to that information to his buddy who hunted the next morning. He would have been in violation if he threw rocks a squirrels raiding his bird feeder. I personally believe that, for the sake of time, resources, and judicial economy, maybe we should give a guy a pass when he is simply trying to call a turkey for a buddy, even if he did screw up tagging a KS deer a year before.
