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

Nice Blackbucks.

Once 35 years ago I discovered the westernmost recorded breeding location of Swainson’s warblers ever recorded (yes, I’m that guy ) TPWD was relatively excited.

A visiting Ornithology Professor had never seen one so out we went. The Southern population of Swainson’s warblers breeds in dense brush along intermittently flooded, muddy streams and drainages, walking around on the ground flipping over leaves and debris with its beak to find food. This was June; hot, humid, mosquitoes, chiggers and ticks.

We spent two hours belly crawling around after a singing male, friggin bird kept moving away just out of sight. Finally the Professor says “screw this”, pulls out a tape recorder (remember them?) and plays a Swainson’s warbler track.

No sooner did he turn it on than the bird zooms right at him, struck his hat at then sat on a twig two feet over his head, singing away while looking around for the intruder (turns out Swainson’s warblers don’t mess around. Who knew?).

Anyhoo, the question I have is, was that unethical?

Oh. Hell yes, totally unethical, what were you thinking???? That is the same as having a heated blind with glass windows( I have three) or having corn feeders( I have seven)!!!!!!

You should be ashamed!!!’

Yep!

Thinking back to the hundreds of coyotes I've killed with a FoxPro digital caller...

I almost feel guilty.

Almost.

People just don’t appreciate the challenges of staying awake in a heated blind. Did you bring the recliner too? It ain’t easy to muscle them things up that ladder.

You guys are just too upscale and stuff!

Blind Heaters! Pshshaw... Phooey!

Ya but if you submerge your feet in the ice chest it makes it more challenging

The blinds may need a window unit A/C down here...

Problem with those is the deer keep trying to force their way into the blind to cool off.

That causes a real moral dilemma. Do you shoot them outside the blind, or inside?

Depends,do you have corn in the blind with you?

Those deer down here are so tame, I have to hide the corn in the blind in self defense...

Well,if it's self defense,then once they poke their nose in the blind.

I've sent Sandbilly a text,

Asking, if I did go fishing on the Great Lakes this weekend with my boat,

Would starting my outboard be acceptable?



Like I'd really give a fook what he thinks..............

Geedubya, everybody knows Reagan Wells is the hub of the universe.

Beer Lease Heaven!





















Been trying to get away to the turkey woods since Thursday. May get off this morning. See y'all next week!

ya!


GWB

Sandbilly ain't gonna fit in when he moves to Texas, if he indeed does move. Going to be interesting to see how and where he hunts. Maybe he doesn't even hunt. Anyone know his age? Be interesting to know, I'm thinking late 20's, early 30's.

SandBilly sleepin' one off.

I personally can't believe anybody would want to move there. Hotter than hell, can't walk around and hunt, got to pay for a lease to hunt, very little public land, what little public land there is, is full of stupid fuggin Texans who will shoot at you, rattlesnakes and thorns fuggin EVERYWHERE. Sounds like a big fuggin shyt hole to me.

You got to have a heated stand with windows if you are bringing wifey or girlfriend. They ain’t gonna take no clothes off in the cold!!!

The best thing about Texas is the pretty women. I’ve been all over the country, all over the world, no place compares to Texas when it comes to pretty women!!! No brag, just fact!!!

YUP!
