[quote mudsucker]And I'm sticking with flygoddess sticking with me on this one. How many of you bygones be bygones and forgive and forget types would want to go fishing with a convicted poacher, after he gets his license back? F&G will be keeping an eye on him, and there you sit beside him. Others who know what he did will be asking if that was you they saw fishing with the poacher last weekend.
He can pay his debt to society, but that doesn't erase his actions.[/quote]
In no way am I saying to let him off or forget quickly. But I am saying for me, I will lean towards the side of giving a guy ( or gal
) the opportunity to fix a mistake and make things right. If they do that.......... Ill be more than happy to fish with a person, or hunt, or anything else for that matter. We all make mistakes,if you don't make them I want meet you cause your the anomoly, its how people fix their mistakes that defines who they are. Its not like these guys went out and killed some one, molested a child..... they kept fish!
Sorry if I don't see that on the same level and want to brand these guys terrible people for life.
