A stand is nice when it’s raining! And cold

Fuuuck you, Jesse.

I'm done.

I thought you were better than that.

No I’m a Dumass plumber. I don’t understand all the hate??

I do.

Nothing like helping the enemy.

At least you'll be close to kindred spirits in Austin.

Birds of a feather, and all.

Jesse, the difference in you and I is that I know who the enemy is.

You will not once find where I post condemning how another man hunts, or what he hunts with. Not ever.

I will however stand up for a man's freedom to choose how he hunts, as long as he does it within the law of where he's hunting.

Now, in addition to your name calling, you ridicule everyone that lives in a state you are soon to move to?

You need to get a clue, Bud.

I thought you weren’t gonna post these? Thanks a lot. I don’t care who hunts over or beside what if it’s legal.

When I started posting at Accurate Reloading in 2001, I too was amazed at the vitriol and scorn directed toward folks that stand hunt as folks in Texas do. One of the reasons I post so many pictures it to illustrate our style of hunting. I have hosted several folks that post here on occasion that were from Oregon, California, or Idaho. After spending a few days hunting with me at my "Beer Lease" near Reagan wells, they typically would say something like "I had no idea........

Just got back from my fourth "24hourcampfire hog hunt" down in Crystal City. Folks from Oregon, California, Nevada, Idaho, Montana, the north east and southeast states drive as much as 3 days or fly in to sit in stands,"shoot" hogs, varmints and other critters, and enjoy some good food, renew acquaintences and consume adult libations. In the four trips, I've yet to hear one say he did not get his money's worth.

Here is an example of one of the facets of hunting at the type of lease you describe.

To get to this stand I ride up the side of a hill as far as I can on my ATV. I then walk about 300 yds to the top of the hill, and then 50 yds down to the stand and climb in.



Looking up. That's the canopy stand 175 yds up the hill under the dot!



I only hunt this stand in the morning



as should I shoot a critter there, I have to load up my gear, traipse back to my ATV, go down the hill out the gate, then drive about two miles to the entrance to the goat path that allows me to go over a hill and into the valley where the stand is.

Southeasterly view from "the Canopy" and another feeder

Another spot I call "the cliffs". It's about a mile off the main ranch road we travel to access our stands. To get there I ride in as far as I can go, grab my rifle and pack, walk a zig-zag path I have marked with flagging tape about two hundred yards up the hill until I get to the cliffs. Then its a climb up the rock face of the cliff to get to either an old stand I found or just to sit on the the rock face.

and one last spot, at a location on the side of a hill at a location called "#5". Got a hole in the scrum 125 yds down the hill......

PS: Hanco, I feel your pain. I've lost four leases in the last 20 years, one as recently as last year. The pix above are from what I call "my beer lease". My "deer lease" was down in Woodsboro. Sixty thousand acre low fenced ranch that 29,000 acres are being taken as a wind farm. The night before the rifle season opening, after we had worked all year, we were told that the season was canceled. Bummer!

Amen.

ya!

This is some of the few open places on our lease. I’m going on the 30th, will take some brush pics

They dont want you spooking the deer which jump the property fence and get shot on the neighbors place where they have feeders.

I used to hunt my uncles paper company 1200 acre lease in East Texas. The adjoining 3000 acre place had a hunting camp a half mile to the west. Toward our place and east of the camp, they had a 100 acre wooded trap pasture and a hunter had a feeder 200 yds west of our fence.

I know this because the 3000 acre place belongs to my cousin and i hunt it also.

The guy with the feeder would leave the camp at 3::00 and go through a plank gate with a chain holding it into the holding trap. I noticed when the old fart went hunting he wouldnt lay down and roll under the gate or hold the chain tight to keep it from clanging and rattling, thereby announcing his hunt in the trap.

One day i walked our west fence opposite the hunting camp and west of his feeder about 200 yds. I noticed a low spot with a lot of tracks.

Next day i got up a small post oak about 30 yards east of the crossing. Sure enough, 3:15 a small herd of whitails slip under the fence and i get dinner.

I used that at times to see if any big bucks were camping in that plot.

Lots of deer and pigs go through holes if there is a broken wire or under if there is a low place. The Aoudads in the pic below just came through hole in the fence(broken strand of barb wire.). I’m in my pussy shooting house, sitting in my office chair. All comfortable, I know I should be ashamed.

Since I already posted exactly what I do with my feeders, how I hunt, and what I fill em with, I would suggest you actually read what I wrote, before asking dumb ass questions.
