Does a national emergency make poaching ok?

[CHCRandy]

All these idiots keep buying all the meat.....I may end up having to act like Jed Clampett and go shooting for some food.

There's meat out there brother. It is listed in all the ongoing threads. Custom butcher shops. Mexican stores.

Ranger smith will likely bust one off in your tail section for poaching.

Coyotes, squirrels, and eggs; all you want!

We're not even close to bad enough to justify poaching. IF it ever got that bad (and that's a big if), there's a lot of geese that would become food.

And they are so stupid you can hunt them with your boots.

Add Turkeys to that list of Stupid Birds!

If it gets bad enough to resort to poaching you won’t need to ask if it’s ok to poach.

I went to 3 different butcher shops/meat markets and they were all out....a couple said it could be 2-3 weeks. Moody's in Avon said they get it in, put it out and people buy it up immediately, but I aint paying $15 a pound for steak. This morning at 7am there was a 1/2 mile long line to get in Krogers, not kidding. ValuMart in Mooresville, hasn't had nothing to speak of this week. It sells as quick as they get it. Wal Mart had brats, turkey necks and calf livers.......all the meat they had. So I stocked up on brats....wife did get a ham today from someone and found a pack of bacon, so guess bambi can live another week.

I remember when I was a kid my dad would go shoot deer whenever my memaw needed food for a throw down and was out of chickens, but we were a little bit redneck, well a lot. I was raised on rabbit, squirrel, deer and fish. Maybe I will start out with fish.....and use that as my gateway.

Funny thing is, we have more meat in the US right now than we have cold storage for...so I imagine they will catch up with supply and demand soon. Hope they do before I get too much of a craving for red meat.

True dat.

Before that date, the rule is likely to be a daily bag limit on poachers of 2, with 3 in possession.

I'll just put it out there for you or anybody else: If it really does get that bad where ever you're shopping, I've got a whole frozen turkey you can come get. I was thinking about cooking it up next week, but I absolutely don'tneed it. I was just going to cook it off to get rid of it as it's been sitting in the freezer at work since they gave it to me at Thanksgiving and it needs cooked up soon anyhow.

You can stretch a turkey out for weeks if you need to.

Anyhow.. Offer stands, but I'm gonna cook it soon-ish, so... Come get it if you need it.

Thank you very much for that offer....that is very kind of you and if you were closer I would take you up on it. Maybe someone on here can use it, if not, think of me when you eat one of them turkey legs! You are right, you can make a lot of meals out of a turkey. I didn't realize the wife got a whole ham today and had part sliced. I should be good to go until they get some more, I can make a lot of different things with a ham. Dr said I was too fat yesterday at physical, so maybe missing a huge meal or 2 will do me good, lol.

I really do appreciate your offer. Thanks again.

 

[maxwelhse]

No problem. Offer stands to anybody that needs it... until I eat it... then they probably don't want it after that.

 

[Trigger Time]

Lots of other things to eat besides meat too.

 

[singlestacksig]

don't poach , groundhog and piney squirrel are in season all the time.

They're profiteering on meat like they are on bleach, hand cleaner, soaps, etc. Just more low life opportunists putting the almighty buck in front of humanity.
Before you start worshiping capitalism aloud there are limits to how low a maggot will crawl without being stepped on.

Yep, I see speculators offer hamburger on eBay all the time...

My grandfather poached during the Great Depression (maybe we'll have to start numbering those like World Wars) to feed the family. He had a Savage .303 lever gun with a silencer.

You need to get really hungry before you start doing that though; benefits vs risks.

 

[Brad69]

Live in a populated area and you can get ethic food at 2am !

On the downside during a real emergency you guys run out of everything first and have deal with more crazy people.
