Our neighbor ratted him out and said what he was doing was inhumane. My son immediately admitted and apologized for what he had done but what penalty would you give to fit the crime?

What breed of duck?

Make him clean, cook and eat all the dead ducks?

Depends on your sons age. It was illegal, but not inhumane. Your neighbor is a wuss.

Isn't that a federal crime now? Just above cheating the IRS?

TNT

Federal offense. They're migratory animals.

Then you add in that they were killed out of season without a license or federal duck stamp. Poaching.

foofcoug

How about shooting from a car... there's probably a fine associated with that.

SuperTank

Possibly within city limits or on private property.

foofcoug

Depending on state shooting from a car is a crime.

Supercoug

Is there a state where shooting from a car is legal? I wanna move there.

Probably not. I only know TX though.

Most states allow it if you are disabled/paralyzed. You have to get a permit tho

We were lucky police weren't called. He has hunted birds properly before

You were shocked he thought it would be fun? Or you were shocked he didn't have

Animal abuse is a sign of a serial killer.

Malathion

Slow down there on the serial killer talk. There is nothing wrong with hunting.

Backcountry

6/28/17 10:30pm

Was it closer to hunting or drive by shooting?

Malathion

6/28/17 10:33pm

Sounds like hunting out of season. We all do dumb things as kids.

Backcountry

6/28/17 10:38pm

For the record I didn't call the kid a serial killer. Based on his

Agree on your last paragraph

Poaching isn't hunting.

Any animal that migrates is a federal offense?

TNT

If it crosses state borders, the Feds have jurisdiction.

let a duck shoot him

billyrust

6/28/17 9:56pm

Arm the ducks. That does seem more fair

TNT

6/28/17 9:57pm

But seriously take the gun away from him. He clearly isn't responsible enough

billyrust

6/28/17 9:58pm

sounds like poaching to me. take the gun and car, and give him probation.

Call the dwr poaching hotline. Fines and imprisonment for your son,

Several offenses occured there. Poaching, shooting from road, shooting from car.

Another factor is the species. Many ducks in urban canals are domestic birds

I'm not bragging, but my dad would have been in the passenger seat.

Let him run alongside the car and shoot him

Taking away guns is what commies do. Do you wanna be a commie?
