Well...it would suprise me if the Idaho loving Hoods have California fishing licenses. Just my observation.

This question has been raised by myself with friends on several occasions..but I think the real issue in this particular situation is that they intentionally put themselves in the position to need to live off the land...when the reality of it is that they could have brought a meal.

I know I can kill a deer, pig, squirrel, duck with a weapon or catch a fish..I've done it before and practice regularly during the appropriate OK hunting season..therefore I have no doubt that I could handle the situation if I were hopelessly lost...and in danger of dying from lack of food..I don't feel the need to place myself in that situation....I bring beanne weenies and rest peacfully in the knowledge that the small rodent that chirrped noisly at me while on my excursion...could in an emergency become dinner.

For us in Oklahoma..there really is no official trapping season for squirrels and it's really not listed as legal means of taking...but in a TRUE survival situation..not some made up pretend adventure...I doubt there is a Game Ranger out there who would ticket an individual for surviving without a license on any particular fish.

Just my opinion. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
