NO Birds!!!!!!

Not aiming at anyone in particular, but is it just me that feels like I have sometimes walked into a big ol' cactus patch on the UPH forum & especially this thread??? Things sure do seem to have a regular habit/pattern of rather quickly downgrading/breaking-down into downright PRICKly behavior on any volatile subject instead of sticking to the issue at hand... :eek: :mad:

Is this really necessary & the only way us hunters can communicate with each other every time we don't happen to see eye to eye??? Sheez, feels like a canine pissing/marking match with snarling, toothy fights & a whole lotta hackles-raised/butt-sniffin breaking out everywhere like a bunch of bad-genetics bird dogs. Sure glad I'm a lab man, I don't really care much for pitt bulls & rottweiler antics...:cheers:

Awww man.......now I just had to post this......hahaha. I think you would have liked ol ellie's(R.I.P) antics!!! details on her daughters week in SD and Neb coming soon, less than 2 weeks and counting

the rott in that pic was a flusher/pointer and caught maybe 10 birds in her lifetime........all wild birds. my hunting crew never could accept how good she really was and I had to take alot of ribbing until they went afield with her.....then they just had to eat crow!!!!!:D:D
 
Nice post & pic CR, ya got me! :p

One of my buds down in TX had a little weenie dog that would retrieve ducks like nobody's business (had to really watch out for him with the gators though)! :eek:
 
EPM, didn't mean to go hijacking ur thread - I do respect & take what you said very seriously, sure hope EVERYBODY leaves some of the "attitude" that has been exhibited on this thread back home in the city on their next run as visitors/guests in your neck of the woods!!! :10sign:

My single greatest obstacle to gaining any private access at all has always been trying to find a way to explain to ears that have already been deafened from one too many bad experiences that "I'm not anything like the guys you have met"...There is far more of the kind of behavior that you decry than anyone in the hunting community cares to admit (it's not just an isolated incident here & there as some in denial would like to portray in the best light possibly) - it is a huge problem & does not bode well at all for hunting opportunities for everyone if it continues on the level it has reached or worse (that is IF it is not too late already in some cases)! :( :mad:
 
I got a good chuckle out of this thread. Funny how easily some people get ruffled up. Fact of the matter is that most all of the land that is holding pheasant is privately held. I personally really appreciate the opportunity to hunt this land and treat the land and all of the people I encounter with respect. I avoid hunting weekend’s because I can not stand the circus. I hunt alone and hunt without a dog. I got a limit the last time out and two the time before that. I did not trespass on any ones land, did not speed 100 miles an hour to beat the next guy to the next filed. I pull my truck as far off the road as possible, even if that means driving past the filed then walking back to it. I see so many lazy hunters, cracks me up they drive up in their 60k dollar plus trucks, park in the middle of the damn road then walk half the filed then head to the next....anyway time to cook up some of them pheasants for dinner…
 
You guys just reminded me why I HATE hunting in crowds. Just brings out the worst in everyone. I'll keep driving to distant lands in early season to beat the crowds. Waiting til late season when the farmers are friendlier and the hunters are more courteous is the only way to go, even if there's only one rooster left in the county.
 
Somebody has got to quit shooting hens north of Holyoke in Sedgwick County :mad: My dogs found 3 dead and one wounded hen, in one field Yesterday,,,,,,,,It is not that hard to tell the difference!!!
 
I'd sooner hunt in an asphalt parking lot than in a crowd. Some folks are asshats, not hunters . . . so . . . opening day brings crowds, more people ups the asshat encounter potential. There are hunters, and then there are those who "have a license & are gonna get a bird no matter what." If I were so foolish as to hunt in the conditions that the OP described in the initial post, I'd:
1) Dye my entire body orange & wear a flak jacket
2) Get my head examined

I hunt to watch my pup work (not to watch out for my pup) and for the peace of an outdoor experience. Judiciously pick your times, do the same when picking your place, and respect both the landowner AND the land. Leave it better than you found it; my game bag carries-out more than harvested birds from the field.
 
living

Two guys move to Colorado ; one guy was out hunting and fishing one day and stopped by a ranchers house to ask about how the people and living around here was.

The rancher asked back, how was it where you came from ;man answered ,good, people were nice and it was a nice place to live ;Rancher answered back ,,same here

Next day the other man was out hunting and fishing and stopped by the ranchers house and asked the same ; rancher asked how was it where you came from , man said the people su*ked and and the living was worse ,,Rancher said SAME HERE
