I learned to hunt in AZ by my Texan father on public land we hunted over water holes or we would get up high on mountain sit glass and let other people push them out the bottom most of the time our shots were long or the animal was on the run most of the time you had a very short window if you saw anything at all I lived and hunted in New Mexico same thing the animals we shot were not mature no management at all moved to Texas 10 yrs ago talked the same bull as Johnny got on a deer lease started hunting from a blind over a corn feeder saw over 20 deer first time out never had I saw that many deer on opening morning never did I see that hunting public land now wouldn't hunt any other way I learned how to age on the hoof now I won't shoot a animal less its mature most Texas hunters I met are very management orientated while most public land hunts aren't

Yeah! There's a lot of people out there who believe they know it all. I wish they'd just move over and make room for those of us who do.....

At my age I can be obnoxious! Now then lets talk about Politically Correct....

Born and raised in Texas. I can see how obnoxious we are.

Most are not. But those handful that are make a bad impression on everyone.

That's good stuff..

When I go out of state for any reason I try to be respectful to people just like I would here. That's until they decide to hate me for no reason. Then I can be quite obnoxious. I spent a year working in PA. Met some good people, but many of them hated me just for being born in a better state than them. We had a great deal of fun walking into a bar and loading up the juke box with some Ray Wylie Hubbard.

That is the best funny response!

For some reason, only the deer here in Texas ignore the wild table set and choose to only hit the feeders. Do I have that right, Loco?

Really an amazing occurence.

You guys are always debating the ”old” ways vs. the “new” ways but I will tell you from first hand experience that chasing down a saber toothed tiger wearing nothing but a loin cloth was not fun. I ain’t going back!!!

I read the title of this thread and had one answer in mind...

...I read the thread and changed my answer

New Title - Does the most obnoxious Hunter reside in Helotes, Texas?

Back to the original question. Yes, especially hunters who are Texas Longhorn fans, but not as bad as ones who are LSU fans.

...nothin wrong with LSU, they have a Vet program so the agricultural ties makes them okay.

Loco is a legend in his own mind, the rest of us can see the full tank of fresh BS that fills his being, from top to bottom with no voids. Sorta reminds me of the reason for this entire thread. And Nogalus, if you put bighorn sheep hunting in Wyoming at a "3" it simply tells me that you've never hunted bighorns. They are one of the hardest of game animals in North America to hunt; one reason being how much trouble it is just to get to their range during the legal season.

You might want to re-read Nogalus's post because the statement you attribute to him is about 10% accurate at best. Here is what he said: "A sheep, a moose, an antelope is about a '3' on the wariness scale compared to a whitetail at about a '9'." He never said that a bighorn sheep hunt in Wyoming rates a 3. He was talking about one thing: wariness. He did say that the difficult part of spot and stalk hunting in the west is getting to and finding the animal, which is a big part of what you are saying too. I suspect he would agree with you that a bighorn sheep hunt in Wyoming is challenging and highly desirable.

I always get a good chuckle from the people who think Texas would make it as a country.

Thank you for giving me a good laugh this mourning.

What he said.

In my experiences people come from all over with different attitudes toward hunting and some so different that they will never be invited back. But for the most part, the hunters I have the most fun with are generally from the southern regions of the United States.

I would say East Texans have the upper hand everywhere due to our bred-in-the-bone hunting skills that work anywhere from the Arctic to Africa.

(Wait...was that obnoxious? )

"Hunting Skills"

My ears are deceiving me

I'd have no problem shooting a polar bear out of a truck window

I know I have a mental debate when I go into the field whether or not to grab a T-Post over the .270.

its accuracy or distance isn't as good but it carries alot better and i'm always 100% certain the sights didn't get knocked off.








Seriously, do you read the chit that you post?

your right, spotlights and .22's will work anywhere from the arctic to africa

That ain't right....
