Hunting turkeys in the rain?

Sorry Luke: no sympathy and no excuses whatsoever for poaching. The only possible reason I can think of for leniency might be that young kids can make some unbelievably stupid decisions, and I wouldn't want them to suffer permanently if they can learn from the experience. If they are contrite and show some potential to work off their penalty as public service, I'd hope the judge would be lenient with them. But if they claim the defense you are suggesting, I wouldn't be inclined to show any mercy because in that case, they'll always be poachers.D16hunter said:

I was already serving my country by enlisting in the army. If I did something stupid, I had to answer up for it, which is part of becoming an adult.
Here we see the "problem" with the "Millennials", no sense of responsibility
So here is the answer tbobs question. There are about 100 hardcore hunters on this site and there has not been one turkey kill posted this weekend. So my answer is you can hunt them but it will be hard to get one.
Was gonna bet OJ but that was "if the glove don't fit u must acquit." I'm about 10 years off.NBK said:
Looks like I'm a little late to the party as well. I've explained my views towards poaching enough times that I don't need to elaborate on here. I personally had "the book thrown at me" when I was in my late teens (nothing poaching related). It really knocked my dick in the dirt and took years to recover from, but I was a better man for it. There needs to be some semblance of remorse to justify mercy. Looks like the kid tried to sneak his way out of a full punishment by dropping names.
Wow! This thread got pretty interesting! Thanks for clarifying about shooting turkeys in trees. I honestly had no idea about that one, but it is now noted. Don't do it!
Well I went out in the rain and tried.. No luck, but I did see a few deer while I was hiking into my spot and honestly that made my day so I was still pretty stoked about getting out there. Thanks for all the answers and discussion.
