Trout qualify........and I think most folks I've ever trout fished with have gon for the "bonus round" after the limit was filled
I think the ones that never done anything are much more likely to later on. We learn from our mistakes. Well, some of us do. I've seen folks that never drank before go off the deep end quick
I was brought into this world with a hunting dad. After his passing put a halt on my hunting until I grew up and could do on my own. I started hunting with a few guys local to home (now is Lake Point / Bobby Cox in Emerson Ga. ) Then we all leased some inland container land in Ballground. Every year I'd kill 4 to their one. It's in my bloodWhen I was in my late teens and earlier 20's I didn't fall in some folks way of hunting and a lot got jealous of the deer I was killing and of the places I hunted. They started spreading rumors about I poached deer and shined at night to kill them when in fact I actually hunted instead of hanging out and drinking with their lil crowd. I told one of them guys a few weeks ago they better be glad I didn't have the money or toys I got now cause I'd probably be just like the prince of poachers.
Read any of the old classics....Archibald Rutledge, Elmer Keith and their cohorts....they'd pop an eagle (or a hawk) in a second. Remember reading a reprint of an article Elmer wrote regarding the birth and development of the 44 Mag pistol round. The first animal killed with the new round was a hawk if I remember correctly.You younger folks need to remember too, that some critters could be killed legally when we were coming up that will land you in federal prison if you get caught killing one now.

Old timers were bad about shooting turkeys off the roost too.
Nic...back then it did not matter how dinner was obtained. What we call morals now was necessity back then and any person living out in the sticks did it on a daily basis whether hunting or fishing. Family has to eat whether it was coon, possum, rabbits, deer, turkey, squirrels, bass, catfish, bream, etc.
Read The Witchery of Archery by the Thompson brothers. They had chapters about shooting woodpeckers, herons, egrets, and such.Read any of the old classics....Archibald Rutledge, Elmer Keith and their cohorts....they'd pop an eagle (or a hawk) in a second.

pilleatedMy old Granddaddy who had a major impact on my life, and was responsible for my woodsmanship, ate plenty of woodpeckers throughout his life. Plenty of '"wood hens", of which there are still plenty. I remember as a small boy eating them in the swamp with him when we camped. And another he mentioned that was good too, but didn`t see as much. He called them "Lord God" woodpeckers.
I`ll let ya`ll draw the conclusions to that one....
