When I was a Kid, IN the 50s It was imperative that you kill every hawk you could get in your sights. They were all chicken hawks then.

It was that way where I grew up to. There was a lot more small game than there is today. Just sayin!

Not sure which is more stupid; shooting the hawk or just openly coming forward and saying "I did it"

Shooting a hawk is one thing (I don't condone it) but shooting a hawk on club property, well that's just sort of dumb.

If the guy knew he was had, stepping forward makes a lot more sense than keeping quiet. Judges tend to like that type of thing, as do LEOs. Works out better for all of those involved.

More Stupid,coming forward and saying I did it . They would have to prove it. Plus who's to say it didn't die from natural causes.

Or a heart attack, Crashed into the ditch, a fence, target poster. Still think the guy was stupid for saying he did it.

I think I have figured out what probably happened. There was a mouse on the berm behind the target and the hawk flew in to get it as a shooter fired. Just wasn't the hawks day. This is why we need see thru targets.

Now that I think about it, owning up to a stupid mistake is kind of dumb. Now I know why the guy that hit my truck and took off didn't stop. Never did catch him so he did the smart thing. Besides, he was probably drunk to boot.

So, if I do something on accident that is against the law but I can get away with it if I just keep my trap shut, then I should go against my good morals and ethics and just keep my trap shut. Got it!  Or I could just do the right thing and fess up like my Savior would want me to do.
