WARNING...BIG RANT UP AHEAD.........................
Being a retired police officer and an wildlife advocate for well over 20 years, and having worked with the DNR in one way or another over my entire career, I do not hold them in very high regard. Not because the actual wardens are good or bad because there are both in the profession, but because no matter what , they all have to follow the same rules regardless of how they feel, or they lose their job. Most do what their told - not what is ethically right. Look what they did to the Bison calf in Yellowstone....mistake one was of course the visitors picking the calf up and bringing it to the DNR - ( they should have left nature to itself as everyone here is saying). The DNR could have taken it to a zoo, brought it to a wildlife rehab or even given it to a Bison Farm....but no, they fined the visitors and euthanized the calf because those are the rules. In my educated opinion, they will take the eggs, fine the person who took them and then destroy the eggs whether or not it is illegal, immoral or just plain unethical to do so.....those are the rules of the big wide world of the DNR. ....END of RANT.
Good morning everyone....it's a beautiful day here up on the North shore

yeah...it puts a lot of people in very sticky or "pickled" positions that make for bad choices no matter which way they go.Morning Siggie.
When you're counting on the man for a paycheck then you need to buck up no matter what your opinion is. DH and I had a big conversation about this. Like it or not Money talks, and therefore we do the walk. Pickle in the Middle.
yes, it was a sad day when I read about it. Nature is sometimes cruel but I think we humans take the cake in that department. Sometimes I wish I were a bird
Sometimes I wish I were a birdbut not a chicken...my luck I would wind up a broiler !!! no...more like an eagle or something wickedly cool like that LOL! (not that chickens aren't cool...cuz they are)
