poached panther


Microgunner

Recommended Posts

Down here in Florida lives a man and his family who live off the land by hunting, fishing, gathering and gardening. A real primitive lifestyle, no electricity.

One day this man was out hunting when he spotted a panther who also spotted him. The panther began approaching him, he shouted, waved his arms and fired his rifle into the air but nothing would diswade the panther's approach.

Finally, out of self defense, the hunter shot and killed the panther.

As he stood there looking at the panther he thought, there's no reason to let this fresh kill go to waste, especially with 7 hungry kids at home, so he dragged the kill home.

Next day a F&G warden was out snooping around and spotted the fresh blood stain and followed the drag trail back to the hunter's cabin where he saw the panther's hide drying on the wall.

He knocked on the door and asked the hunter about the panther kill and the hunter told him the whole story.

The warden told him me sympathized but the law said he'd have to face the Judge.

Next day at the arraignment the judge asked how he plead?

The hunter said guilty but could he be allowed to explain. The judge said OK and the story was told once again.

The judge said he understood and didn't want to deprive the hunter's family of his support so just fined him $100.

Before leaving the courtroom the judge asked "by the way, just what does panther meat taste like?"

The hunter replied "well I guess it kinda tastes like a cross between manatee and bald eagle."
