They’re response was pretty tame. In 2018 they used a task force comprised of five different law enforcement agencies to bust a guy who brought recyclable cans into the state. I’m not talking about tractor trailers full of cans.....he had a pickup truck full of cans.

I am surprised they didn't charge him with having an assault weapon, or bring in the ATF to harass him. That is frequent in cases like this. Also tax audits up the wazoo.

The bullet was still in the carcass?
WTF? The guy shot it from the next county over or what? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Weren't they just taken off the Endangered List? Federally, yes. These were California Fish Cops. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Will it though? I have boxes of most every brand of 22 made in the last 2 decades. I have half a dozen guns chambered in 22. You positive you can match the bullet found in a carcass to something I might have fired? I can tell you one thing for damn sure. If it exits the carcass, you can't match it or even pretend to match it. Now, a FMJ .22 Magnum is highly likely to exit a large dog sized animal. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: And it will leave a ballistically traceable bullet in the carcas. You ever try it? If the animal lives long enough to leave the area who do you trace it to? Even if that goes well, have you ever seen a lead .22 bullet recovered after hitting bone? The chances of balistically tracing/matching a lead .22 is very slim. |

And a bullet that exits the animal is almost zero. Why even let them know the caliber or type of ammo you used.? |

Quote HistoryQuote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Story asside.....when you realize the Endangered Species Act (ESA) was NEVER about protecting the species but making it harder to develop or allow for industry expansion (I.e. logging). It all makes sense. The ESA was simply the vehicle they used to stop and make it harder to develop undeveloped lands. Not sure why you just posted a picture of a spotted owl. But the picture makes my point. The owl and other critters were used to preserve the habitat. Owls, raptors, bears, snakes, kangaroo rats, fairy shrimp, flies, etc. All the species need certain habitat to survive. The more species listed, the more habitat is off limits. |
