He's a primal predator, not a sportsman!
Game Wardens with Texas Parks and Wildlife arrested Ethan McNeely, a 39 year old Oregon transplant, yesterday after discovering him crouched in the woods below the dam at Lake Tawakoni attempting to hunt squirrels with nothing but his bare hands and teeth.
McNeely, who insists he’s “a primal predator, not a sportsman,” argued with officers that his “God-given claws and fangs” exempt him from needing a hunting license. “If I catch it with my molars, that’s between me and Mother Nature,” he reportedly told wardens while spitting out a mouthful of bark.
Authorities were not convinced. TPWD officials say that while McNeely’s hunting technique is unique, state law doesn’t make exceptions for “wannabe cavemen.” He was booked on charges of hunting without a license and disorderly conduct after growling at the officers.
McNeely maintains he’s being persecuted. [bold] “They can cage me,” he said, “but they’ll never cage my inner wolf!”

I doubt he caught any with his teeth so why was he arrested?

Does this charge hold water? He was only hunting in his mind. In reality, he wasn’t hunting at all so how could they arrest him for that?

Let's be honest - they arrested him because he was from ORE-GONE and they don't like hippies from ORE-GONE.
