I read a study awhile back. It said 95% of relocated animals die because they cant adapt to the new area they are placed in....starve to death etc........so I shoot em.

I always left 'em close to farm country, near a woods, and with running or standing water. Perfect coon country. What brought it home for me was when the Pullet's friend came over and mentioned that, "There was a guy in a blue S-10 at the end of your road, letting a coon out of a live trap."
How could I be pissed? I'd done it to 22 other people!
I also found out that the Dominate Nazi Rulers can arrest/fine you for relocating wild game. You can shoot 'em, but you can't move 'em.

In this state, they've got more authority than the state police. They don't need a warrant, they don't need to knock (better be bullet proof when they try that shit with most folks).

We call em squirrel cops here. They love it.

Reminds me of a story. lady squirrel cop climbs a windmill, so she can see all round, during deer season. She sees nothing. Starts down the windmill, and crack..........somebody shoots the windmill below the lady squirrel cop. Back up she goes. Cant get down, everytime she tries, crack goes the windmill ladder. This started early in the day, and rumor has it she didnt get to come down til around dark.

A dude on the jobsite was whining about the DNR giving him a two grand fine for poaching a turkey. He'd shot one up north, tossed it in his truck, and took it home. He had it on the kitchen table, gutting it, when he found the transmitter the DNR had stuck in the bird. He tossed the transmitter in the field beside his house and sat down at the table to finish cleaning the bird. The DNR walked in and busted his ass.
The dude asked the CO if he'd followed him from up north. He said, "Kinda. When the northern office noticed the turkey doing 70 on southbound I-75, they called me and told me where to go."
He was crying big time about the fine. I told him poaching is like gambling. You bet two grand you could get away with it, and you lost. They could have taken your truck and the firearm you used to shoot the bird with, too.

They nailed a Detroit doctor for poaching two deer many years back. At the time, it was the highest fine levied in the state. The dude pulled up in a two track in the boonies with his brights on, climbed out of the car, pulled out his grade II BAR, and popped two does. Two grand for the deer, over three grand for the rifle, and God knows how much for the Caddy.

Shit, I'd say he was damn lucky they didn't take that stuff. Just make payments on that 2k and be really happy you don't have to replace a vehicle and a gun while you're doing it!
