Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Hunting with dickheads

I’ve been pretty lucky. Most of the guys I have been on leases with were nice guys. The first lease I was on had a couple that would show up with no groceries and no beer or have a six pack and expect to drink all weekend. I was on a couple of others that were all great guys. I had a 1000 acres I leased with two great guys for 25 years. The lease I’m on now has two MF’s that whine about everything. I’m thinking about shooting them.

Have you ever hunted with a dickhead??? I know some of you all hunt public land, maybe you don’t encounter dick heads??

Public or private, they're there.

Sure do.

Hunt by myself all the time.

Oh, yes, public land produces it's share. One problem is that you can't get the land owner to kick them out. At the same time, on public land you aren't tied to a specific area. You can always move if they won't.

i purchased some land so I no longer deal with idiots anymore.

I guess owning your own is the solution.

Ain’t nothing like a week or so in hunting camp to bring out the true character in your hunting companions.

Life’s too short to hunt with ass holes. Kick em off your lease and find some good ole boys.

Ninety five percent of the people in this world are just plain ass holes. I've had run in's with many of them on both public and private land over the years but no, I don't hunt with any.

I could tell ya some stories from ranching public land, and the hunters I encountered...

Very true.

Yeah but you ain't gotta hunt with 'em or be in a lease/club with 'em.

I bet that’s right Barry.
One of the privileges of having a Ranch in the family is only having to hunt with the folks you invite.

I am so lucky. Never pay to hunt. I have a friend, a non hunter. His wife is anti hunting. They both like me. So, I am allowed to deer hunt their small 300 acre farm..... The rules: low charge muzzleloader, no guests, please don't let my wife see any dead deer. Shoot as many as you would like. So, approaching 72, I pack out all meat, after registering kill. I'm finishing up 60 years deer, perhaps around 80. Killing some of the best bucks of my life.
I send along a gift at Xmas.....

Yeah but then you'll have trespassers.

Are you kidding? The hunting and fishing community is chock full of inconsiderate fugkin' ass holes.

I was fortunate when living in that schit hole they call Texas in that I was the "designated" lease manager so I got to decide everything.

I’ve never really had a problem with other people public or private.
I tend to try to use them to my advantage if on public land and to be honest your “approach” to any situation is probably 99% of how the outcome will be.
But with that said, this year I have purchased my own private land so my son and I can hunt without bother.
On same land we will be building a home so I will be there all the time soon.

No, I just had to gather cattle they let out by leaving gates open, fix shot up windmills and water tanks, pick up litter, call the brand inspector to report cattle shot by hunters, fix damage to fences, tank dams, roads and pastures they drove through.... And witness them spotlighting deer at night where not allowed, give directions to no less than 200 lost hunters... some even hunting in the wrong unit, or seasons expired for their licenses, or using their kids license to hunt youth only seasons.

Damn, never hunted on a lease, and don't have friends that are dickheads, and NO, I don't have trespassers.

There is that but that can be remedied...
