Why is it..

[mudsucker]

Also, to add to the post, believe it or not, we do not like the majority of out of state people. There I said it. It's no secret. Cat's out of the bag. Yall do stupid chit that makes the majority of OOS'ers..especially the ones from Alabama and Georgia...look like booty hats. Yall can fluck up anything and everything we work for. And yall damm sure dont know how to hunt public land. And save the "feel good" feeling for someone else...we dont need, want, or like yall's sense of "helping our economy" that makes yall feel entitled to whatever we have and that we should just spew information everytime one of yall asks. The out of staters are the ones that drive up lease prices, and causes the majority of clusterflucks at the public places anyway.

There...I said what everybody on this board that is a resident of Mississippi wanted to.

You forgot people from South Carolina too!

I am gonna out myself here (easy now, not THAT kinda OUT). I am from Florida. I been hunting MS for 17 years. I have built friendships with folks that I can pick the phone up and ask them how the birds are and make the trip. I don't ask them to take me (sometimes they have), just if there are birds around. We have stayed in 2 places in those 17 years. We earned the freindship, have had folks visit our state with the same hospitality we got in theirs. We have leased private and we have hunted a lot of public. When we get out and find birds, we invite the locals that have thrown us some info-one year we took our MS buddy on his best hunt of the year because we had burned some serious fuel scouting. We did not do it because it would help us, we did it because he was our friend. A lot of cats on here and other sites will tell you to stay home and the mean it. I don't like folks pulling up on me when I am raking in Reds on an oysterbar either. But when asked nicely I have shown folks how to catch them like we were.

If ya wanna plunk down some cash and kill birds, ya better have some serious coin. If you wanta HUNT birds, then you gotta do just that. I said in another thread we had a farmer call us to come kill the geese on his field when we were back home. We owe his SIL a hunt and will take him whenever we can. But we met this guy, he let us hunt his field, we offer him some of the meat (cleaned and packed of course) and you can never even tell we were in his fields. We always take some cane syrup or some oysters or some Satsumas or something from our part of Florida when we go to gift to the great folks we have met. We have hunted with famous people and we have hunted with regular Joes and enjoyed every one of them. Folks is folks no matter where they are from, but the internet ain't the way to meet people or kill birds. A handshake and a good deed are still the same in 2011 as they were in 1811.

Everything that has been said is true. I just got into a new deer club this year and the club officers did their due diligence on me. Asked around to see if they even wanted me in their club.

Very good points, and something we could all, including myself, do a better job at in the future...Good post in my opinion..

And I was so sure we were making progress... Guess we'll have to start over. Driveby, you wanna counsel him first, or should I?

By the way, I'mm offering double what DDM is paying to whomever he's leasing from Call me!

I'm not going to even try right now. I can't do anything with him when he gets like this. I guess that hug finally wore off but I'm not about to drive 4 1/2 hours just to give him another one.

[deltadukman]

haha...gotta keep with the status quo. A few may be forgiven, but the majority of the militia needs a constant reminder

[Medicine Man]

Double R? I agreed with your post also and felt like it was informative.

[Negotiator]

Because, You are from GA!

True... Duck hunters from Georgia and Alabama can do no right in the eyes of a full blooded resident from the 3rd world country of Mississippi. Why don't you shoot me a pm and you can go up to the big G with me a couple trips next year.

But I'm FROM LA.

Gee ... who woulda thunk it..... Mudsucker... nice handle Thibodeaux

[JMitch]

I just simply can't believe anyone would pay over 2000.00 per person for a 60 day duck season.

I just spit diet coke all over my computer.

Yeah I almost choked too.

I get so tired of hearing the OOS stuff. I can appreciate that coming from the guy hunting public land but truth be known I have had as many run ins with people on public land that are from in state as OOS so I chose not to hunt public anymore. There are a$$holes in all 50 if you want to be honest. That being said it will cost more than $2k to get into a good camp. There are some leases in that range that are solid but that is where the "You have to know someone"comes in to play. The way we have brought in new members in every camp I have been in but 1 was as a friend of a member who has hunted with us a few times. The one camp that wasn't the case in was Ok, but it was $2500 10 years ago, then it went to $3500 and I got out. All that being said I am in an "ownership" type camp now. Long story short, I have met a few guys on this board and hunted with several just by PM'ing back and forth. There is not a one, after meeting them that I would have a problem allowing into my camp if they wanted to choke up the change., Most of the folks on this board are good guys (although it seems to be going down fairly fast). My advice would be to get to know a few. Many will say, "How about us going to shoot a few birds one day?" Take them up on it and you'll be on your way. But know leasing ain't cheap. If you want to spend $2k or less to hunt 4-5 times a year, going on quality guided hunts will be a much better deal for you.

Hunting, like life is about networking...if you don't have your "bona fides" you probably won't get past the door....

and even though the economy is hurting, good hunting spots are always in demand...duck hunting is not a cheap sport.....
