Rules For Thee Not For Me (Outlaw Thread)

This is an interesting thread. I never knew some of y'all had to follow so many rules. (I'm in Oklahoma)

On public, screw-in steps are a no-no, as is baiting. Private land is pretty much whatever, and if a tracked a deer over a fence, I wouldn't think twice about retrieving it unless property owner specifically had posted land or a crazy cow.

I look at a wounded deer as a moral obligation that far exceeds any "rule".

It's just whatever risk you are willing to take. If it's a farming, forestry, or ranching property that carries a minimum fine of $750 in Oklahoma. And that covers a lot of properties. You have some affirmative defenses (it will cost a lot more than the fine to win), but I'm not sure a deer is worth $750 to me personally.

Here's the OG poop-knife story, in its entirety, just so that you may suffer as I have suffered.


The poop knife

[Original post found here, but removed](https://www.reddit.com/r/confession/comments/7p8puq/light_i_was_22_years_old_when_i_learned_that_not/). Post text was as follows:

> My family poops big. Maybe it's genetic, maybe it's our diet, but everyone births giant logs of crap. If anyone has laid a mega-poop, you know that sometimes it won't flush. It lays across the hole in the bottom of the bowl and the vortex of draining water merely gives it a spin as it mocks you.
Growing up, this was a common enough occurrence that our family had a poop knife. It was an old rusty kitchen knife that hung on a nail in the laundry room, only to be used for that purpose. It was normal to walk through the hallway and have someone call out "hey, can you get me the poop knife"? I thought it was standard kit. You have your plunger, your toilet brush, and your poop knife. Fast forward to 22. It's been a day or two between poops and I'm over at my friend's house. My friend was the local dealer and always had 'guests' over, because you can't buy weed without sitting on your ass and sampling it for an hour. I excuse myself and lay a gigantic turd. I look down and see that it's a sideways one, so I crack the door and call out for my friend. He arrives and I ask him for his poop knife. "My what?" Your poop knife, I say. I need to use it. Please. "*** is a poop knife?" Obviously he has one, but maybe he calls it by a more delicate name. A fecal cleaver? A Dung divider? A guano glaive? I explain what it is I want and why I want it. He starts giggling. Then laughing. Then lots of people start laughing. It turns out, the music stopped and everyone heard my pleas through the door. It also turns out that none of them had poop knives, it was just my fudged up family with their fudged up bowels. FML. I told this to my wife last night, who was amused and horrified at the same time. It turns out that she did not know what a poop knife was and had been using the old rusty knife hanging in the utility closet as a basic utility knife. Thankfully she didn't cook with it, but used it to open Amazon boxes. She will be getting her own utility knife now.

> [Edit: Common question - Why was this not in the bathroom instead of the laundry room? Answer. We only had one poop knife, and the laundry room was central to all three bathrooms. I have no idea why we didn't have three poop knives. All I know is that we didn't. We had the one. Possibly because my father was notoriously cheap about the weirdest things. So yes, we shared our poop knife.]
Today an ad for a product showed up in my feed. While I don't personally have a use for it I know one of you will know someone who absolutely does.


You're welcome.

Killing snakes is 1 that really pisses me off. Seems like everybody will kill them without a second thought. I had a guy with me as my guest on a quota hunt. He killed a decent size diamondback and made the mistake of telling me about it....we went and collected it and when we got to the check station and the guy asked if we got anything I totally told on him....all he got was a scolding and we don't speak anymore. Good riddance to bad rubbish
yeah don't kill snakes unless they are invasive ones. the native ones have just as much right to be here as we do
 
Back to the cell camera thing for a minute...There's another thread that states cameras have been outlawed in DE, I think.
I'm in SE PA, & own property in NW PA, with 4 cameras mounted & working.

If PA would ever pass a law to ban cameras on public & private land, you can rest assured that my cameras, located exclusively on my property, would still be mounted and working. That's just the way it is.

The "other side" can choose which laws they follow, & which ones they ignore...same for me, the way I figure it.
they won't be working. they don't take a pic and send to your phone. they take a pic, send to a server then to your phone. a geo fence will make it to where sim cards won't work off the towers in the banned states, servers won't transmit data in banned states, etc. point is your cell cams will be trail cams by next year. I wouldn't "load up" an any cell cams in banned states if I were you. sorry for the bad take on the situation
