Taking fun out of hunting?

[GoatRoper]

I had a friend of mine that went hunting last weekend at a prominent hunting club in MS. I won't name which club because I don't want to make anyone mad they may be a member. Anyway, he said seven of them limited out by 8:30 and did not put out one decoy and did not call. Is it just me or is this taking the sport out of duck hunting? However, I must say I was envious. Can I go next time?

you got to say now...or sumbody will start naming names and get it rite! how about fighting ???? is that close

[torch]

Bum your prob right! Those guys can do things that most of us can't. They have been covered up for weeks.

I heard Fighting Bayou hasn't had crap for birds all year. I heard they were not anywhere close to the numbers they usually have. A friend of mine works for a member and he said he hasn't even stepped foot in a duck blind on Fighting Bayou all season because of lack of birds. But this was 2 weeks ago, a lot can change in 2 weeks...

I had 2 friends hunted there on dec23 in a 8 person group and limited in 25 minutes

that club is out of the roof to get in to 100,000 or such. i would quit if i had to pay anything more than gas and time . that would be close to saying you are good at picking up women by going to the ho house with a hand full of 100's. same principal. anyone can buy into something like that provided you got enough money but that aint hunting in my book. not jealous but it just aint like real hunting.

[dukbum]

so your saying if you pay alot of money to get in a camp...its not hunten! iam lost there dude.....

[torch]

Bun he's saying you go to a bar and try to pick up a woman or go to a ho house and your guaranteed to get some.

Are you telling me that a duck is easier to kill because he likes to land in a place that isn't hunted everyday and has food and cover? It seems to me there are alot of ducks flying on the edge of the delta every year. If you are lucky enough to have a hunting spot along that flyway then you can kill ducks. Most of the land that is in that area cost alot of money (I wonder why) but they are the same ducks everyone is trying to hunt reguardless of how expensive the land is they decide to land on. It seemed like everyone was defending comp yesterday for the amount of ducks he can kill every year - if he had paid $100,000 for his place would this defense still be there?

$100,000 for fighting bayou? I think you need to multiply that a couple times. I had a buddy went in december 7 man limit in 30 minutes. On a good year they proably kill them in 15!

You bet you booty I would. I may be one of those guys that pays to much to hunt ducks. But that is would I like to do, HUNT WATERFOWL!!!!

[weimhunter]

DDThunter, if it matters, I am pretty sure Chop and his folks paid more than 100,000. THEY BOUGHT THE PLACE

[outlaw josey wales]

what i am saying is anyone can pay to go to texas and hunt in a fence to kill 160 class deer but not everyone could go to malmaison and do it. i just said it is not as much sport in it . thats all ! anyone can buy deer, ducks, "BEARDED CLAM" or what ever but it just aint the same as going out and doing it with out money. public hunting is harder than 100,000 hunting. i have been hunting way longer than alot of these big money guys and seen places i had where we hunted bought out by people that know nothing of the sport just because of money!!

$100,000 .......ok 60 days max at 30 minutes to limit...30 hours of hunting tops..heck, lets add a few hours for driving and getting waders on and such..make it 50 hours spent at the camp huntinga year...

comes out to a cool $2000.00 per hour!
