HUNT: Always obey laws

| January 3, 2016 8:00 PM

First I am proud to be a Disabled Veteran, avid hunter and for the rights of all animals. Mr. Brummett, you should serve your time plus pay your fine and lose your hunting privileges. To break a law when you knew you were wrong is not the way to change the law.

As veterans and disabled we already receive many advantages that other hunters do not. The deer you were hunting get no breaks. The law is the law, even if you do not like it; change is made by legal means, not breaking it then crying that you got caught. I do not think that you were going to turn yourself in if you had not been caught.

I am sorry you cannot hunt to your previous abilities; it’s hell to get old. I can no longer hunt to my past abilities so I live to hunt as best I can. I know a lot of deer still walk the earth because I did not shoot. I still enjoy the memory as they walked away.
