Would you poach ?
A while back there was a topic of would you ever poach or a time when poaching was ok. Many said at no time would they ever poach. I and some others said if it came down to survival we would. The arguement was that in these day and times no one has to poach because you can find food somewhere or the government would take care of you.
In the aftermath of the hurricane would some of you change your mind. It could be a disaster of any kind really doesn't matter. I just think in a life and death situation everyone would poach to survive and if you say you wouldn't your not being truthful with yourself.

I think in a life and death situation that most anybody would resort to anything, including cannibalism to survive. Poaching or illegal huntingwouldn't matter in that kind of situation.

really it wouldnt be a real bad plan......if you were really struggling.....instead of pawning off your guns, or ammo, or bow....you could use those weapons and put some food on the table and maybe even sell some to get some cash.....i know you said that the government would take care of you.....but i would rather resort to hunting to put food on the table than going and sitting in a line for food stamps, or waiting for a welfare check.

I wouldnt even think twice about "poaching" for food....I think that we have all seen in the wake of the recent disaster in the south, that the government WILL NOT always be there to save the needy. I would take survival matters into my own hands, hands that I CAN depend on.

Here in PA if your starving for food all you have to do is talk to the local game warden or DNR officer and they will make sure you get meat on the table. If it comes down to it that you are required to poach then pretty much our government has crumbled and you would need those guns/weapons for more then just hunting!
