We should tar and feather 'em--whoops, I mean tar and polyfill 'em ;-)

We could charge them with being stupid? Trigger happy? Gluttonous? Surely
something....

> Dear Linda and others:
> I forwarded your message about the dumped geese to Sonny Richardson, Chief
of Law Enforcement for TWRA. He brought to me the Federal Migratory Bird
Hunting Regulations which include this provision:
>
> 20.25 Wanton waste of migratory game birds.
>
> No person shall kill or cripple any migratory game bird pursuant to this
part without making a reasonable effort to retrieve the bird, and retain it
in his actual custody, at the place where taken or between that place and
either (a) his automobile or principal means of land transportation; or (b)
his personal abode or temporary or transient place of lodging; or (c) a
migratory bird preservation facility; or (d) a post office; or (e) a common
carrier facility. SOURCE: [41 FR 31536, July 29, 1976]

> The law clearly states that an effort must be made to retrieve the bird
and retain it initially, but does not provide any guidance as to what must
be done with the carcasses beyond that. Unfortunately, if someone wants to
dump the geese they have shot later in the day, they can do that, as long as
they retrieve them from where they were shot. Assuming that these birds
were shot, if the person or persons dumping the birds could be discovered,
they could be charged with exceeding their bag limits, unless there were
enough individuals to account for 50 - 60 dead geese. If this was not the
case, the only thing they could really be charged with is littering.
