I was thinking the same thing….they didn’t have the license so they went back to their house at that point. Made me think about foiles and warden podcasts

Every out of town trip I have been on I eat some of the game.if I have access to methods to cook.
I don't have any need to defend these guys. They showed a disrespect for the laws.
I chose to highlight this situation so the SC Ducks crowd can learn a lesson.
If you give law enforcement reasons to punish you as a non-resident offender, you will suffer the consequences.
They will require you to take them to your temporary domicile and search your freezer, fried, coolers, and trash cans to see what you have.
If you have more than a two day possession limit, improperly cleaned birds, or bird breasts marinating in Dales, you will be charged with over the limit and transporting ducks illegally. It will not matter if you cleaned them that morning in preparation for dinner that night. If you don't have a wing or head they will assume the worst even if you have not transported them after you cleaned them.
You could have shot a completey legal limit of species and total ducks but when they open that fridge they will write you multiple tickets and stack the counts so high that you will cave into a guilty plea.
This post may be the one warning you needed.
Either write things worth reading, or do things worth writing.
No excuse for not having the licenses, and if they had over their daily limit in the boat then they deserve a ticket. That being said the possession limit/transport laws around migratory birds are BS. You really can’t go out of state and have a good week long hunting trip without violating possession limit. Unless you know people who will take them or you are gonna personally eat 6 ducks everyday.You should be able to kill your limit each day and clean/keep them for personal consumption, and transport them home. This notion of we are gonna get you after the fact for birds you intend to/have already cleaned that you are gonna eat is stupid. Federal government overreach at its finest.
More Ducks, Less People
I know one of the young men well. He's a past SC Sporting Clays Champ and a good kid. His father passed away a few years ago and has been managing the family farm along with his mother. There is more to the story I'm sure. I'll see what I can find out.
FAFO. Keep your shit straight. No matter where you are or how many ducks you are killing. It isn't that hard, but it does take some effort...
The “cleaned birds without any identification” were in a pot marinating….
When in doubt, shoot him again!
Work like it's all up to me, but pray, like it's all up to him!
I don’t know any of them personally but Jackson just got engaged to my cousin. No excuse for not getting a nonresident hunting license.
We were all young once. Lesson learned I hope.
On more than one occasion when I lived down there groups from SC would come down and hire a guide for a day only to go back the next day sans guide. One group ended up getting the shit beat out of them- FAFO at its finest!
Not saying other people don’t do this stuff but it definitely seemed disproportionate to SC!!

The FAFO sentiment is justified for the trespassing part, but not for the birds part. Nobody owns the wildlife.
