Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Deer Lease Tx Hill Country -

I guess I should clarify a few things-
I dont really care that the TPWD did the 13 inch rules God knows alot of areas need it .- I just see it like this :
If they can make you get a license,permits,set limits,tell you the hours of the day to shoot,tell you what month of the year to kill something " on your poperty" - Then SURELY they can set a "Cap" on Lease amounts- They could even divide the state into 4 regions on the Cap- We were having a good conversation until one guy jumped up with all his Anti Govt-they aint gonna tell me what to do with my property etc etc--he was good with everyhting including the "Cap" until we got to the high fence rule
(as in not allowed period)- then he had a fit ...he just got up and left the cafe - maily becuz I believe he got embarrassed !

Last but not lest - We the hunters brought all this on ourselves - I would say that for the last 15 out of the 43 years I have been hunting - the last 15 has just gone to hell..We the hunters use to marshall ourselves while on a lease,not true today !

The good old days..First property we ever had - we called it "the hunting grounds" no lease was involved - The man simply let us hunt on his property and all he wanted was a couple of hindquarters- then came along the idea of -lease my proerty to hunters to pay my taxes -and today it's EVERYMAN FOR HIMSELF !!

TV..did most of that damage -I very seldom watch a hunting show on Tv anymore - alot of fishing -but seldom a hunting show -back when Jack OConnor and Kurt Gowdy made Tv shows it was all good !! Turn the Tv on today and the minute I hear them call a deer by "name " or say - "oh Ive been watching him for the last 3 years"- I know its time to flip the channel -cuz I know right then its a Zoo hunting show.Nothing piss me off more for somebody to capture state wildlife inside a fence - feed em 22 percent and then let some Dufus come in - drive him/her around ..spot the deer - throw up a 300 magnum and cut the deer in half at 75 yards - then shake hands - turn around and fly back to whatver wonderland he /she just came from -

*** Rost - I dont have a link for the Airboat fiasco - when we were at Nails creek - one of the rangers told us that the
" horse " people were complaining - I told him I was sick of Kayaks - Canoes -Boats - and Jet Ski's & Cigar boats etc etc - he got the point - The trailriders want me and you to be banned from the Nails Creek area - I dont think so !!!

I think he meant GMAFB.

Its been a couple of years since my son did those. May be a little shoe polish applied to horns. Can't remember. My oldest is pretty good with stuff like that. Both of those were taken on the Rex Kelly Ranch, 9 miles north of Lost Maples. 3000 acre low fenced ranch I hunted for six years.

As to varmint hunting. I usually go to my lease once a month. We're covered up in fox.
Went this last weekend. got two hogs and a coyote. I was sittin in the stand just watching the mornin' after I'd popped the hogs. Got out and saw something out of the corner of my eye. Three coyotes were skulking down a path below me. I dropped and got set up with my sling and nailed the lead dog. Here's one of the pigs and the coyote. I had grilled marinated pork loin off this one last nite along with a ear of roast corn.
GWB

I did at first, then removed the F

Sounds like whining and a leftist thought process.
