I would however, gather pertinent information to reveal to my buddy to use in whatever way he deemed suitable to handle the situation.
Check me if I am wrong here, but isnt this exactly what Deepfork did in this situation?? He took pertinent information, the picture, to the landowner to do what he needed to do. Is it the fact that the landowner wasn't his buddy that makes him a snitch here? Or am I missing something.
I guess we are just different. I would call the law, warden, friend or neighbor if I saw something or knew of something going on that wasn't right. Be it on a buddies land or not. And I would hope that I would recieve the same courtesy from other people. I saved for several years to be able afford my lifetime hunting and fishing license and it pisses me off to no end when I hear of some random jackass with no respect for anyone else who just poached a trophy deer , or anything along those lines. Grade school is over, so I'm not worried about being a "snitch". I dont look at it that way, I look at it as doing the right thing.
And as far as wardens having too much power I dont buy into that either. They have a job to do, like it or not. Not trying to come off as holier than thou, but stay on their good side and there shouldnt be any problems. Same thing with police. I have never taken any game illegally that I have known of. Had I been caught doing something illegal, so be it, I screwed up and would face the consequences. Have I been pulled over for speeding, yes. But guess what, I was speeding. Have I got a public intox, yes. But I was drunk and being ignorant. Never had any problem with either as long as I wasnt doing wrong.
Sorry for calling you out on this one but it just struck a nerve by calling someone a snitch when they were just doing the right thing. Thats all I have to say about that.
