I'm not trying heat things back up on this subject, but, I need to throw my two cents worth in. Don't discount what Rob Rohr and others have been trying to tell you. What you do is your own business and you can go about things in your own fashion, BUT, there are others out there who have been working on recoveries "By The Book" and if you are not carefull in your own attempts, you could set others back in theirs or end them completely. There is a perception of Americans as all being(pardon the expression)"Cowboys", out to do things as they darn well please and to hell with everyone else. I know that some of what you've heard is like a lecture from Miss Manners, but , the Good Ol' Boy network will only get you so far, then dealing as a diplomat becomes a neccessity. Working for a government entity set me straight on that years ago. Now as for Rob, his enthusiasm for the hunt is as high as anyone I've ever know. But, having been a hunter, he learned as we all did that shooting a deer legally was always a better way. The wardens never take away a deer shot with a license in season. BUT, the wardens always seem to catch the poachers around here. Then you loose your deer(no meat this winter),your license(No more privilage to get meat) and your gun(no more ability to get meat at all

) Those are lessons we YANKEES take to heart! 'Nough preachin', 'nough said. Good Luckin your Endevours. I
Hope it works out and we all see another bird saved.
