Why I hate city life.....

"hunters who prowl the jeep trails in pickup trucks with four to six "hunters" in the back ready to open up on anything they see. You can hear when they spot something - ten to twenty rifle shots ring out."

First off, those aren't hunters. That crap really pisses me off. See, things aren't quite beautiful in Utah either. Then again, probably less competition with varmint hunting. Seems like firearms opening day for whitetails in Maryland brings out all those once a year hunters that are idiots. That is why hunting varmints and wing shooting is somewhat more pleasant. With that said, a lot of the waterfowlers around here are terrible. I have seen three set ups in the same field. Intead of working together to provide a great spread, everybody has to do their own thing.

Yup, things aren't much different anywhere, my friend.

Idaho (just a few miles from here) always opens its pheasant season the same day as the Utah rifle deer opener - specifically to keep down the numbers of Utah bird hunters who go to Idaho for opening day. Thay also charge almost double for the bird license valid during the first nine days of the pheasant season. After those nine days (two weekends) the non-res license cost is MUCH cheaper.

They aren't dumb.

In new orleans theres at least a murder a day. Its almost entirewly all drugheads and crackheads killing each other. I say just give em more bullets. They'll get rid of theirselves.

Fabs : Like Rocky mentioned, it doens't matter where you hunt, or what part of the country you are in you will eventually run into a hunting style that you will not like. That doesn't mean that they are all wrong it just means that you are not comfortable with it. For example have you ever seen a pheasant hunting show where thay are walking a field and there is 10 guys and four dogs walking to blockers at the other end. I have never liked that situation, it just don't look safe, but when you are walking big fields like that it's about the only way to get to the birds before they all get out the end. The same thing happens in deer drives. The point being, is when you hunt, you need to pick your hunting companions very closely, almost to the point of you knowing what they are thinking before they think it. I'm sure you have run into or hunted with someone, that when the day was done you promised yourself never again. I know I have.

GSP,

I completely agree and there have been several days that ended with "never again." They never understand why they don't get called to hunt again. Then again, I think I have some friends that did the same thing to me. I am pretty much by the book when it comes to following hunting and fishing regs, but they aren't, and I didn't get any invites from them last year. I am assuming that is why.

I have been fortunate but then again I havent hunted as much as most of you...the guys in Georgia are like poetry...I just love to walk the feilds with them...and their dogs are great...I have learned alot from those people and its the same ones every year..now gator season is another ball game....there are for sure a few people I wouldnt crawl back into the swamp with...in fact it had crossed my mind once or twice to leave them there...just kidding....overall...I have had alot of fun....and learned more from the people I was with...

I moved to Ashville Ohio and even farther south to Ross Co. around Richmondale.
But i couldn`t make a living there, so I moved back up towards Grove City area.

And just to add my 2 cents,......I don`t care where you live,.....I now live in a small upstate town in NY,....been here for 5 years,...and there`s as much trouble here as I have seen in any big town.

Now I am not by anymeans defending big cities or towns,....but the way humans are reproducing and building new biz es and homes and such ,.....farm life and woods and wildlife as we all know it now will siese to exsist ,.I would say in 50 yrs or less.

We all need to start conserving our lands and rebuild our crapy cities and towns ,and knock down those eye sores ,.....take a better notice of crime and deal with it hard and make it hard on those who choose to keep doing wrong,......the repeat offenders need hard jail time,.not to just be aloud to sit on their duffs and watch tv and wait it out ,.......Construction and real estate firms need to work harder at gettin rid of the old rotting and decaing buildings and refreash our neighborhoods.

Education and Common Sense are the essential tools to rebuild with,.....along with caring and understanding,..human beings could make something work,.where City folk and Country folk could work and play together.

We need to rebuild what is just sittin there takin up space,......instead of killin our environment,our wild life, and our Hertitage,..and yes even our FREEDOM(S)!!!!!

And I know that somewhere in this post someone will make the statement,.....
"People can`t even get along,....how would they rebuild and make it better"?!

If someone has the answer for that,.....you should be GOD,.....cause I don`t know ,.....and if and when we have nothing,.....then and only then when it be thoguht of by more then just US here on HuntChat.

So here`s a way to start,.educate your children,....cause they are the ones that will suffer,.not us!

Later All
SAFE HUNTIN~
