Quoting JvilleMom125:
I'm in jacksonville. Pm me. I am close so I will bring you some stuff. Or u can come stay with me until you get enough money to get your power back on.

outisde of ocala florida
Quoting krisandjakesmom:
Where do you live?
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought it was an unrealistic idea. I am willing to help but giving advice to hunt and trap food? There are other ways before resorting to something that isn't putting herself and her children at risk.
Quoting prdmomnarmywife:
Trapping is illegal without a trappers lliscense . She could face federal prison for either . It may be dumb but it's true .
Quoting Kaya529:
Mostly your wrong because she said she did not have a gun so I told her to make traps. No gunfire involved.
Another reason you are wrong is that taking from your neighbor is not right. Hunting, fishing, and foraging does not involve harming other people.
The law is wrong. It is rediculous to allow people to hunt for sport just cause they have a liscence but arrest someone for putting food on their plate.

Quoting Kaya529:
So what you are saying is if I am in that situation my children and I should be more worried about the law and just deal with starving? I would just do it illegally if that is what I needed to do.

Time to figure out how to hunt, fish, and forage.
For fishing all you need is a tree branch, string, hook, and worm.
There are plenty of websites that will show you what you can get in your area.
Hunting is a little harder. Do you have a gun? You can also look up how to make traps for small game. You can also learn how to gut it on the web.
Hunting with no license? In the summer? What is legal to shoot this time of year?
I checked. She needs to take a hunter safety course. pay out $48 for a license (for fishing AND hunting) THEN she would need to live in the far Southern part of Florida-AND then she can hunt ONLY using a bow and arrow or a cross bow. Do you think she has one of those lying around? Each deer would cost her another $5 and she would need to know how to bucher it.
Because you can't just go out in the woods and freaking SHOOT things-you need to be licensed! And shoot only what is in season!
Then you are a fool. You go to JAIL for hunting off season. And the gunfire would be the give away.
Why doesn't she just steal food or burglarize her neighbors since that would be a sure thing, and not require her to go hunting. See problem solved.
Breaking the law by stealing and breaking the law by hunting out of season with no license are the same things!
I sent her a message, I'm waiting to see if she wants me to put the money on her phone or green dot account. I'll do either one.
Quoting Shadow_Walker:
op.. I believe I saw at least two women other than myself willing to help with your phone. Please msg us your phone number so we can add it to your account
I just saw that. :) I don't live in Florida, but would be willing to mail some of my extras. if you are interested, PM your address, and I will get you some food. I won't let kids and a pregnant momma go hungry,
My husband lost his job recently and we are about to be struggling really bad. However, he is still HERE. We will be okay and you will too OP. I can send you some stuff. Let me know.
Quoting Shadow_Walker:
she lives outside ocala florida
Quoting Ireallydontcare:Where do you live? I have extra of some things that I can give to you. I live in the Boone Docks too. I know how that is.

call the electric company make arrangements on the bill...see if you can make arrangements with the phone co. as well...
dial 211 most states this service...its a helpline
contact the dept of human services...maybe they have emergency food stamps that you can apply for...
visit your local food bank call salvation army and local churches maybe tehy can deliver some food to you seeing that you dont have transportation...

I think the law is wrong is not an affirmitive defense when you are arrested and jailed.
You need licenses to trap, and you need to take care to not trap domestic animals..because how is killing someone's cat or dog acceptable?
And even with a gun-it is NOT HUNTIN G season. What part of wildlife management so we don't kill off entire species do you NOTY understand? Remember the passenger pigeons? Of course you don't THEY WERE WIPED out by people like YOU who felt their right to hunt out weighed the efforts of the government to SAVE entire species from extinction.
And licensing is important. You wouldn't dream of allowing her to drive a car with no license, but you suggest she tramp off into the woods with a gun and NO TRAINING? Seriously?
OFF season so that any other people there would NOT be wearing hunter orange-nor be expecting her in the woods with a rifle?
My great grandmother risked more then that to care for my grandmother and her sisters during World War 2 in Italy.
