Somehow it's ok to go into Mexico and shoot that same pile of whistlers with lead shot. Or 48 sprigs anyone who thinks it is morally reprehensible to shoot 48 ducks at home but would go to Mexico and burn them down just because it is legal is guilty of asshattery of the highest order. The crux is legality, which in a civilized world would determine whether one is an exceptional sportsman of the highest caliber, or an asshat. It could go either way depending on which side of the border you're standing on.

Not to make funnies,but I commend him on finding 48 black bellied whistling ducks and killin them all...LOL That's what I was thinking. The guy probably got off easy, because they didn't fine him for all the corn that was probably there. corn is a rookie mistake, these old bastards are better than that, thats why they didnt get caught for baiting 48 without chicken wire and rebar? I doubt the old man is that good. Trapped them birds....just sayin.

I take it you've never had to get ducks out of a trap?
Trap 48 wild ducks. Try removing said birds from trap while alive. While standing in water.
If given a choice, you'd shoot them too.

everyone knows you use a trotline to trap ducks
Any creature in my vicinity that possesses an explosive penis is going to be killed.

Well, I try to follow game laws aerangis. As do I. Only time I've removed trapped ducks or assisted with trapping ducks was for banding. It was difficult getting the birds out safely without injury, and the hunter in me had me thinkin if these tree hugger volunteers only knew how many of these same ducks I'd killed over the years, and how much easier it would have been to get them out of the trap if we could just shoot them first fwiw, it's OK for the biologists to know you hunt, but never ever let the other volunteers find out you hunt, particularly if they're female, and particularly if they find out you've hunted the same birds you're working with. Otherwise, you'll end up with a not-so-nice nickname.

Wonder how many he could kill in Mexico. Probably wouldn't be as fun when it's "legal."

Why is it ok to shoot lead and way over your limit all of a sudden. (Twice, and under probation time)
Cause he was 67 yr old and need food to eat?
Come on man, i know u know better

Come on man, i know u know better Yep...I'm really surprised that so many people think this penalty is too harsh. The rules are the rules....if all people got was a really minor slap on the wrist when they were caught poaching (especially repeat offenders), we probably wouldn't have enough ducks left to hunt in 50 years. This guy apparently didn't get the message the first time when he was fined $5000 and given probation.

This guy apparently didn't get the message the first time when he was fined $5000 and given probation. It is also about getting other people to follow the laws. If they can send a 67 year old to prison, it sends a message to all other hunters that they can be next. The punishment is also known as self compliance, there will be quite a few that will straighten up their act on their own, just because they now realize that it could have been them send to prison. As with most cases of law breakers, most criminals think they are smarter than LEO and won't get caught. This guy has become a poster "child" for LEO.

I'd go as far as to say that a person that whacks em that hard in old mexico is bound to whack em that hard back home. Why? It's legal in Mexixo!!! So your saying because I do something legal and very fun in Mexico that I would come back home and break the law? That makes absolutely no sense.

Not to worry, Texas is ready to ban crow hunting and everyone will be backing the government and talking about the good old days when a pecan farmer could protect his crops. I did not know Louisiana had real GWs.

It's Louisiana, I bet the only reason the GW was even after the guys is because the old man was hunting to close to the GW's hole
3 sides to every story boys They were in the GW's blind.

I've damn near filled the bed of a pickup with crow and squirrel carcasses from my folks pecan orchards. And yes, crows eat a lot of pecans. Even propane cannons won't keep them away for long.
