trphyhntr Report post Posted September 2, 2016 Better than where I went! Took my five year old son to our normal spot on his first ever hunting trip. Shot a bird over the river that ended up in the river and some a-hole comes screaming out from 100 yards upriver claiming I was trying to kill him and his family, using terrible language and physically assaulting me! He actually shoved me in front of my kid! Had he been alone they would still be looking for him. But he had another buck toothed red neck piece of trash with him. Claimed I was illegally hunting. Huh, sheriff told me I was perfectly legal. For some reason he was not convinced. Funny how this drunk red neck thought he knew the law so well but could not form a coherent word through his missing teeth. A-hole made my kid cry and ruined his first ever hunting experience through foul language, assault and fear. He backed off when I threatened to call the sheriff. What a great f'ing first experience for my son. you gotta be kidding me that's crazy and totally sucks. Dove hunting is sketchy as heck though. I asked some dudes this Morning what the protocol was for dove hunting around this one tank since I don't do it much and looked like A good way to get shot.

muledeerarea33? Report post Posted September 2, 2016 dang! That's a bad first hunt for him!! I've met you a few times and your kid was there once I think? It's a good thing your a really nice guy!! I've known people that have actually fought over dove spots! Only since I've lived around a city though, never had issues living in a small town. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
muledeerarea33? Report post Posted September 2, 2016 I met a friend at a pond tonight. We were first there. Another truck pulls up half hour later and parks 50 feet from us. I'm used to it after hunting near a city for a few years now. They had a very well trained dog that I got a kick out of watching! Until I shot a bird and the dog retrieved it for them haha! I didn't say anything cause this dog was doing a heck of a job! I got pissed when they started hunting directly in front of where we were shooting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whitesheep Report post Posted September 3, 2016 Wow Big Browns, that is fantastic. Way to go. Are there any left? Carefree Highway by the G&F office was a downer for me again this year. Jumped 20 or more right off the bat and took one with my first round out of my 870 after not firing it for two years (total skunk in 2015). I thought this was auspicious, but boy was I wrong. This was the only bird I got to shoot at. I only saw one other in 2 1/2 hours of walking. Didn't even set up the decoys as nothing was passing. I need another spot. Anyone willing to share or need a buddy as I am hunting solo now. Thank you and good luck to all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
