Go ahead and explain!

I do hunt in a tom landry hat and suit and tie, because that is the way I roll, player. I'm thinking about importing some new yorkers and see how they work as bird retrievers, on second thought they would probably be union bird getters and have to take a break every 1.5 birds. I'd probably have to hire a seperate one just to pick up the whitewings.

P.S., don't forget to calculate the cost of gas or airfare into the bottom line )

Ever hear of air miles? Get a credit card that gives you airmiles and you're halfway there.

"NYers dont shoot song birds like dove and white wings those birds ya look at under the bird feeder. We hunt real game birds like pheasant, ducks, grouse and turkeys and use well trained pointers to fetch em. Oh yeah and we don't shoot deer or bear under feeders either, baiting game animals -thats against the law."

So, if NY is so great, why are you here?

I have no problem we have our own place. Lease payments pay all of the bills and taxes and we make a profit. It is the Texas way, I like it. My grandpa used to say if you are in someone else's house you should do things their way and not complain. You should try it. it will make life a lot easier in Texas.

Can someone please explain to me how the hunting lease practice got so far out of hand in Texas. Before moving here I never even heard of a hunting lease and no one I knew ever paid a guide or a landowner a penny to hunt for anything. How did this happen? As Vince Lombardi said "What the hell is going on around here?

I'm from Texas, I live in Texas now, and have always hunted here. But in 1990 I got transferred to Hartford, Ct. I was up there for 7 years. Before I went, all I pictured in CT were estates and manicured lawns. I lived right in Hartford, but my deer stand on public land was 15 minutes from my door and I took three 200+ lb deer from that stand. In the spring, the CT river, which was one mile from my door, was full of herring, shad, and striper. I hate to say it, but from a sportsman's perspective, New England had a lot more to offer. Even though I will always be a Texan, I can see how somebody from that type of environment might feel shut out down here.
