Go ahead and barter with it if you want. I think it’s a good law.

Same.

It's illegal to sell in Canada too. If there was a dollar value to venison, poaching would skyrocket.

What do you guys think about this thread?
Mods: if not allowed, I will take down.

It's illegal in my state. But I can't speak for other states. I think that too many people think that the laws of their state are universal. Like requiring a plug in your shotgun for upland game as well as waterfowl. In my state it's required but not all.

A good number of hunting laws are set at the federal level. Not state. But I get your meaning. There’s a handful of states where you can’t hunt on Sunday, but of course not all.

Its the Lacey act. No sale of wild game period. Like OP said, market hunting was one of the driving forces behind the significant population decline much of our wildlife experienced prior to its adoption.

We don’t sell any of our meat, however we do trade for certain things our friends have. eggs, milk, bread, dinners, etc. we definitely have enough to sell, but we prefer to share with friends and family. It’s partly just to show that wild game is still a thing. I have a ton of friends who don’t hunt, but I always bring venison or elk to the barbecues for them and their children. And they love it.

Venison diplomacy!

The amount of friends that want to buy venison from me is crazy. Even when I tell them its illegal they still want. Not worth breaking tha law.

So let me get this straight. We allow you the privilege of hunting our animals by making you pay for the privilege of doing that and now you want to see those said animals for money? I think not - The State

Better hunting tho 🤷🏾♀️

Just for that we are going to tax you to drive a car on our roads you paid for and then if you want to drive off said road we are going to tax you for that!
- The State

Hunting is about the only thing that makes sense in govt because its management revenue comes from the people who voluntarily participate. Fuck registering a car tho lol

You dare question the state?!
sends armed men to take you to the gulags

Then the money that we collect from you we aren’t going to use for the intended purposes until public outcry get to the point that we don’t have a choice anymore. Then we will just take it from somewhere else because the original money is long gone, spent on something else that you didn’t ask for or need

looks around
This person clearly knows to much!

It shouldn't be

Market hunting is what almost made our animals go extinct in the first place. You wanna sell meat, be a farmer.
