Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Pond

Offering access to those you view as less fortunate is fine if thats what you want to do. Hitting up strangers for access is akin to begging. My poor upbringing taught me better than that.

It's certainly not akin to begging. Everybody is perfectly free to say no. Some do say no. some don't. I certainly don't feel at all guilty or shamed in any way when someone grants permission. Particularly so when I've done the same myself many times. I have asked permission to fish and hunt on many properties over the years and am thankful for the many opportunities I've had as a result. I now have permission on several properties in 6 Counties. Combined with all the state land in the area I have enough to never get bored.

So is electricity. Just saying. Two can be related.

LOL blackie, the places I like to fish don't require "permission."

Not all of mine do either you condescending ass hole. I live where some of the best, most well known trout streams in the East are within a few minutes drive. There are times when a relaxing day on a private pond are just what the doctor ordered. I have a 7 lb. bass on the wall here that came from one and have eaten many fine meals of crappie, perch and catfish from several others over the years.

Wow. I wish I'd ever caught any bass crappie or perch. Catfish are definitely out of my league though, that'd be too much to ask.

Oh, I'm sure you can out fish me too. You're such an expert at everything. We do manage to catch some fish from rivers and lakes too but I'm sure nowhere near as many or as big as you, you amazing stud you.

Catfish are the best. Hardly any bones and mild tasting.

I think they're fun to catch, also. It's like hooking a tractor. They don't flip the fishing rod around like a bass. They just pull.

LOL, blackie, you're projecting. Do you see me on here talking about how many fish I catch or how many deer I shoot?

No, that would be you.

You like to insinuate a lot of shyt so I just project it back. You're a useless old f,uck and everybody knows it, including you. It is a fact that I've shot a lot of deer and caught a lot of fish. You probably could too if you weren't such a useless old f.uck.

I'm to buzzed up to know if you are serious or not, but you are in colorado... Trout and yellow perch ought to be your calling card. if you need a hand, i'm only a phone call away.

How did a pond thread turn into a pissing match? Does anybody have more pond pics? Whatever happened to RRROAE's pond, did it ever get finished?

Blackie, I never said I didn't catch fish or shoot deer. Just that you don't see me on here talking about how great a hunter and fisherman I am all the time.

I don't have the constant need to do that, like you apparently do. I have nothing I need to prove to you. And no, I'm not "insunuating" anything, just replying to your constant litany of what you believe to be insults. This little pissing contest started when you said I was such an arsehole that no would would give me permission to fish their bluegill pond.

I replied that I don't need permission to fish the places I want to fish, which is a fact that seems to he lost on you. So I'll repeat it: not everyone needs "permission" to hunt and fish.

And as far as being a "useless old f*ck" who can't hunt or fish, you'll need to excuse me, I have to go strap on my pack and do a little training hike for my annual Rocky Mountain backpack elk hunt.

The older and more useless I get, the harder it is to stay in shape for those.

Are manatee good to eat?

This has to be one of the dumbest things I have ever read on the fire.

I’m in the South. I let neighbors fish my pond.

A couple of 8# bass have been pulled out of there, and put back in. I don’t fish, but enjoy their successes.

Bristoe,

I know you're new to the farm life, but telling strangers that landowner X won't give permission to anyone, is one of the oldest tricks in the book.

Very nice! Would be even nicer if were full of fish though

It is.
