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

This was a dumb thing, but the kid will learn. He's not a serial killer and this is a pretty normal thing for outdoorsy kids to do. I'd be lying if I said I haven't popped cotton tails out of season as a kid

My son was shooting ducks from his car along the canal

What breed of duck?

TNT

Not a cougar-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.

6/28/17 9:55pm

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

foofcoug

6/28/17 9:56pm

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

SuperTank

6/28/17 9:58pm

Possibly within city limits or on private property.

foofcoug

6/28/17 9:59pm

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.

Backcountry

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

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

Agree on your last paragraph

Backcountry

Poaching isn't hunting.

Any animal that migrates is a federal offense?

TNT

6/28/17 9:57pm

If it crosses state borders, the Feds have jurisdiction.

Utah's poaching consequences...

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.

PharmCoug

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

Nat Gas Man

Let him run alongside the car and shoot him

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