Dove Dinner Lands Texas Man In Hot Water With Law

Just an example of government wanting to make sure eveybody knows that living off the land will not be tolerated.
That a man will not be allowed to find or supplement his food by killing game, game laws are there to make government money and control people's behaviour!
When I was very young , many people liiving/working on farms supplemented their food supply by trapping or shooting game to eat, especially during the winter months. Deer , venison is mighty tasty and a fine source of protein. Dove, Quail , Duck and other game birds are too. -Tyr

Holy crap. I have huge windows at my house and no less than once a month a bird does itself in. Add to that doves nest all around my house and have the worst nests ever-- atleast 4-5 young fall out each spring. I just throw them in the trash, but from now on I'm totally gonna call f&g every time. :rolleyes: Stupid. Note to self-- don't post evidence of illegal activities.

Do it for every bird. When it turns out to be a sparrow, you say, "well I'm no wildlife expert"! :laugh2:

Also be sure to call F&G if you see another animal hunting without a license.
