Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Lost my East Texas Lease

Sounds like you thoroughly enjoy your Brokeback Mountain “experiences”.

texas is hilarious generally when it comes to hunting. most people think they are huge hunters. YES I know quite a few animals get killed there by hunters. but generally speaking this is done by very few of the general populace. The area I lived didn't have any deer, why you ask? the reason is if a deer did show itself it would have been shot, wouldn't have mattered if it was in the middle of june, may whenever. there simply was not deer because they had all been killed. by the same token hogs were a problem in some areas. I have to laugh if hogs were anywhere in a public land state they wouldn't last long. seems counter intuitive that game are so much more easily managed on public land, both preserved or eradicated, whereas with no public land like you have in texas it seems like you get neither.

texas does have a huge thing going for it and when I go back to visit I am reminded why Texas always has an independent spirit to it. The reason is the small towns, it very common to have property and land there be it 5-10 acres with a house or whatever. This more spread out situation makes people more independent because they rightly realize look I simply don't need that much from the government. If need be our town can secure itself. I could drill a well for water. So many areas could simply go back in time 120 years and still manage to make it. This makes a keep the government off my back mentality. I greatly miss that. I live in the heart of the west with public land everywhere the problem this creates is it clusters the population, the more densley populated an area becomes the more liberal and less freedom the government becomes.

still being able to drive an hour in any direction, shoot guns, ride ATV's shoot jackrabbits, camp, do what I want. I would never trade that to move back to texas, but hey at least you guys have Whataburger

Anyone can set and fill a feeder, then shoot out a shootin house at 20-40 yards. If I’m self righteous for pointing that out, so be it. If that’s as far as your hunting ability takes you, so be it. If smoking something like that gives you a warm and fuzzy feeling, bragging ammo..fine with me.

IMO that’s what also gives hunters a bad name. Anti’s watch that dumb [bleep] on TV and I have to agree with them, where’s the sport in that? Really?

Wounded warrior, introducing a kid to the sport, sure.

Don’t blow smoke up my ass and expect me to agree..

It just keeps getting better.

I guess that shoe fit..

Prior to that statement I just considered you retarded and obnoxious, your other tendencies were assumed but now confirmed.

Well, no loin cloth (that'd be silly) but I have hunted barefoot, in sandals, and in handmade leather soled mockersins. With a 13 oz (55lb draw wt) stick bow and a wooden arrow. Am I getting close to having a completely acceptable method of hunting?

Geno

Rock arrow points?

I’ve hunted lots of public land in the west. I just don’t have to depend on the federal or state gov’t to subsidize my hobbies.

You boys are going to hurt poor Elkhumper/💩buckhunters feelings.

His only purpose for posting on this board is to troll people.

I troll people, but I'm not a dick

That’s funny and I’m sure true...

LOL, if you were half as smart as you think you are you'd be dangerous. I never knew you followed me so closely, should I be flattered? Apparently not closely enough though, you got just about everything you said about me wrong.


Of course, when you have zero response to the points I made in my previous post, personal attacks are all you have left, right?


First, as far as being signed in the night before the opener and then needing to drive across the state, that's outstanding work, Encyclopedia Brown. The only thing unaccounted for is the fact that it's not only possible but quite simple to log on to this site on a cell phone, many of us do it all the time. You were aware of that, right? Sorry, dumb question obviously you weren't aware of that. I was logged in the night before the opener, as I sat in my rented room in Rico Colorado. Look it up on a map. If you want to dispute that, let's make a sizable wager, I rented the room with a credit card so it'll be easy to prove. We can even ask Andrew (the owner of the Inn) what time I left in the morning if you'd like. Hint--it was before the breakfast service.

Second, I never had an archery tag or planned to go archery hunting, get your facts straight. You want to place a sizable wager on that, it's easy to prove also just let me know.

Third, as far as "claiming to be hurt," I didn't. What I "claimed" is what actually happened. I got a cut on my elbow that punctured the bursa and caused an infection that put me in the hospital getting IV antibiotics for three days. That was right before the muzzleloader season and when I was discharged I had to have a PIC line (google it) put in my arm so I could continue giving myself IV antibiotics for a total of four weeks. If you think that's "funny" you're a warped individual. No way I could go on the planned backpack hunt with a catheter in my arm and daily injections of antibiotics that required refrigeration. You want to dispute any of that, let me know, I have medical records out the wazoo. How much would you like to wager?

Last, as far as "quitting after 2 days," I quit for two reasons. First, the animals weren't in my favorite spots. I hunt the early seasons and the areas I like to hunt (and know) are all up near timberline. In those areas, first rifle seaosn is always a crapshoot, sometimes snow, many times not. But I hunt them anyway because where I hunt is more important to me than whether I get an animal. If getting an animal was more important to me, I'd pay someone to hunt on lower elevation private land like you do. Not saying there's anything wrong with that, it's just not a priority for me. And yes, last year there was lots of snow and very little fresh sign in my favorite spot. I did an 8 mile loop the first day, then decided to go somewhere else, down at lower elevation the second two days, Sunday and Monday morning. Couldn't really put in the miles to effectively check out the new area though, because of the two three-inch screws that had been used to fuse my ankle eight months prior that were causing a fair amount of pain on long walks. Which was the second reason I came home. I had to get those screws removed in December, which is not normally done or covered by insurance unless the screws are causing a problem, which they were. You want to dispute that, let me know.

Lodging receipts and medical records don't lie, unlike pathetic little pukes like you.

This thread is paying off. I think some of the funniest stuff is definitely coming out of Texas from those that feel cornered and get defensive. The whip cream on this cake (pun intended) has to be a Texan that doesn’t drink milk because he thinks it’s cow sperm. 😂.

I’ll bet just looking at a set of tits gets him confused. Freud was right...Texans are homocentric. 😂

TAK is back? I wish someone would post a list of sockpuppets and their owners.

I most certainly would if I hunted in states that allow them.

I have an excellent source of obsidian in this area, matter of fact there's a big chunk sitting on the wooden border of the flower bed for decoration. Obsidian mines within a few miles of here. I'm sure a man of you profession knows how sharp an obsidian shard can be.

My stick bow is a commercial one too, but about as light as one can find and nearly as simple as an osage or yew bow.

Geno

PS, but I'm not a snob.....................I own and hunt with a firearm too............smokeless powder even.

But you do have one I'm sure?

DON'T send pics, as I'm sure you're not a Weiner too.

Geno

PS Do the folks down t' the free food line agree that you ain't a dick?

Typical democrat you are....talk your crap about another state, and can't take the heat when someone better dishes it right back in your face.

And we see what "your other tendencies" are.

Go sit on your Bidet, and clean yourself up.....and change your Kotex.

Smokepole, Remember you’re arguing with a “guy” that thinks milk is cow sperm so bear that in mind as you attempt to argue facts with him.

I’m sitting in a hotel room in Chelan right now because I made a surprise visit to my in-laws to help out with winter chores and to check up on FIL with Alzheimer’s. This is an area I grew up hunting, the vastness of this area has always drawn me in. Lake Chelan is the 3rd deepest lake and is roughly 55 miles long. On this quick trip I’ve seen countless deer, a herd of over 50 bighorn sheep, mountain goats and tons of other critters. Not one of them was artificially attracted by bait and they were all on public land. The jagged peaks of the North Cascades and the Sawtooth wilderness frames this beautiful lake and if a guy spent his entire life hunting this area alone he’d never see even a fraction of what’s available to him.

I don’t care how another guy hunts as long as it’s legal but I do find the extreme defensiveness displayed as a manifestation of a guilty conscience. 😉
