Personally I think if you’re going to eat the meat it shouldn’t really matter how you kill the deer. However shooting at the game warden was just fucking stupid, you Two just ruined your life for no reason at all. Chances are you wouldn’t even have gotten a fine for your stupid activities but now you will serve years in prison.
