It is simply amazing that when a LE officer ask “how your day was”, instead of simply saying “fine”, the recipient responds with a narrative of their life story.

If people know what you have hanging in your barn, then they know far too much regarding your privacy.

I am not a proponent of illegal activity, just simply amazed by stupid communications and disregard for personal privacy.

Not going to say i’ve never shined before however, that was another era. I feel the fellow that let the meat rot was particularly stupid.
As a hunter who hunts for meat only, I care not for the size of the rack nor own padded gloves so I can text from my stand. I disagree with a lot of FWC rules which is why I no longer obtain a Fl. License (hog only). FWC used to be the kind of guys you could drop in the woods with a toothbrush and they would live. Now, their little more than ticket writers which absolutely kills me because many are great guys.
Tip: If your a felon you’d think you would follow the rules so you dont have any more trouble. Wanna hunt that bad, no excuse for you not to enhance your skill with a bow.

@ Me again – NOT ALL Hunters commit crimes or hunt illegally either. Most do observe the LAW and does the RIGHT THING. Hunters can’t stand stupid people that have no clue about hunting or hunters. Most hunters are a good, honest, hard working people who love getting in the woods and love the sport of hunting the RIGHT WAY. I for one would never ever get a thrill out of illegally hunting just to kill a nice buck or whatever the hunt is at the time. Cheating has never been fun and the feeling is not the same as out smarting the LORDS creation, Wildlife. Also, Hunting is not as easy as people think when you hunt the right way. Hard hunting in Florida for sure.

These stories are interesting and a learning experience for those of us who love the wwods but not hunters. Keep ‘em coming William!

And once again the FWC protects the guilty from public embarrassment and criticism.
Even those that admit they were doing wrong.

Addressing the two comments below about the amberjack — oops looks like there was formatting problem in the process of cutting and pasting from the FWC report to the story. It’s all been fixed.
