ANYONE INTERESTED?

[tunica]

First thing the guy just ask a question can I come hunt and get to know a few good people? Why do we have to swear and say negative things about people because there from a different state. I just dont understand! I've just talk to my cousin the other day in Irak and he is from Mississippi and he has already lost two good friends from the Carolina's. They dont really care where their from because their doing all the dirty crap and we have got people on here swearing and talking about other people over freaking duck land or what state there from makes me sick . I really think we should all take a closer look at our battles.

Plus I really like seeing all the true colors coming out from all the people I use to respect. Some of us in here are sharp as a bowling ball!!!

Each has this right to speak how they feel..if you disagree and dont like what you hear then motor on.

Like i said its all about respect and it aint just OOSers its anybody that "@#$%#" it up for everybody tryin to do right.

If someone has found a hot hole whether its duck huntin or crappie fishin for the love of god show them some respect. I would be willing to bet that they did not just happen up on that hole and that they done there homework and yes its gonna piss them off of u crowd them and f up their day.

On goverment land its first come first serve. If u beat me to the hole its no one's fault but mine I'm not gonna set up on top of u and ruin your day i'll just push on to the next hole.

Just rembember when your playin in someone else's back yard whether u like it or not u may have to abide by their rules. And if you dont like it stay in your backyard.

that's the whole point of the 1st ammendment of the Constitution Everybody has the right to his own belief's and way of thinking. The whole point missing is these other states used to have the same or better hunting than we do but what look what happened. Not directed at Va. but let's look at there for example. This is a c&p a friend of mine in Md. sent me some time ago when my daughter was doing a paper for school and her subject was on waterfowl hunting in different regions:

The Chesapeake Bay is an estuary stretching from southern Virginia to northernmost Maryland, a distance of 180 miles. In textbook terms, that means the Bay is a tidal area where ocean water and fresh water mingle. In the real world, that means the Bay is the heart of an astonishly beautiful, productive and diverse natural environment. The watershed that drains into the Bay covers 64,000 miles and extends into Delaware, West Virginia, Washington, D.C., Pennsylvania, and New York. Diving ducks and dabblers, geese and swans—it's impossible to imagine Chesapeake Bay without waterfowl. Strategically located along the Atlantic Flyway, the Bay's open water, shallows and marshes beckon irresistibly to resident species as well as to millions of migratory waterfowl in search of rest and food. Various forces have brought change and challenges to the Bay's winged wildlife, yet in their awesome beauty, diversity and sheer numbers, waterfowl remain an integral part of the Chesapeake's story and allure.
The Bay hosts about one-third of all migratory waterfowl wintering on the Atlantic coast. While some species have thrived, others have diminished as natural and human factors have reshaped habitats and food resources. In the days of the Pilgrims, an estimated 1/2-billion ducks inhabited eastern America, still, today roughly 1 million of these long-distance travelers call the Bay home during part or all of the year—their presence as much a part of the Bay scene as the water and the sky.
It is hard to imagine the extent of waterfowling on the Chesapeake, the sheer abundance of migrating birds, but the proliferation of hunting clubs and the number of sport and market gunners on these waters, dramaticially changed that forever.

May have happen in past years ago but hell everyone of us, especially here, are still paying today for something our ancestors did. Don't need this happening to us.

These are just my opinions, not trying to force them upon no one else. But evidently a lot of us think the same

Once again this is MSDUCKS and NOT VADUCKS which is also probably booming with posts since you have ample time to surf ours!!! And we are not whining about oos hunters hunting MS!! But if they do, then hire a guide service and stay off our public hunting grounds which some of us work year round on to insure we have a descent spot to hunt!! Nothing worse than setting up and a skyblasting oos is 100yrds away flaring everything in sight!! "Hey we're only here for 4 days so let's shoot some CHET" kind of attitude!! And about the Federally funded WMA's..... I see you are from Va. so hunt YOUR Federally funded WMA's when the ducks come to them!! Heck you should invite Mr. Beaver from NC to hunt with you in Va!! He is just looking for fellowship so yall should get along just fine!!!!!!

Does your ignorant brain stem comprehend the meaning of "public"? I play by the rules - you want to change that, lobby your legistlature to change it and we'll all have to deal. Until then, look for the guy with the 10 spinners getting into the hole at 7:00am and wave.

[lower14]

I've kept my mouth shut on this topic as long as possible. i've tried to be nice and just keep my opinions to myself but not any more.

I am so sick and tired of OOS'ers coming down and raping our resources i could puke. If it aint in the duck holes its crappie fishing. I have managed to stay away from them for the most part duck hunting but crappie fishing is impossible since its all public.

I guess what im trying to say is that if you yankee $%&$%&$ cant hunt and cant fish. Hire A Farkin Guide so u dont screw it up for those of us who do know what were doin..

Thanks and have a great day

Once again, they ain't YOUR resources. Get off this high horse of yours. And if you're such a damn Jim Bridger outdoorsman, a few OOSers shouldn't be any problem for a genius such as yourself to catch/bag your needed game.

Lower14, one simple question


why are you adding fuel to the fire.

One simple statement

Why would you ever do that or invest that much money in useless toys. I further doubt that your such a terrible hunter that you would do something like you are stating. If you really do that then you must be one of two things Either your the biggest and baddest dude walking or your a complete idiot. What your saying will get you a meeting on the ramp with someone thats not to happy with you.

[lower14]

TunicaDU - one other factor in the Chesapeake no longer being any good for waterfowl hunting is the heavy pollution from Baltimore/DC/Virginia that has nearly killed off all of the natural wild celery that lived in those grassy marshes. This was the primary food of canvasbacks, redheads, black ducks and mallards. And it's effectively gone now.

Market gunners definitely did their share of killing off damn near everything else. Sink boxes, punt guns and the like caused something like an 80% drop in canvasbacks from 1900-1935.

Still good numbers of geese and diving ducks around, but what fun is it to hunt those?

[dchunter]

Didnt mean to start so much trouble just looking for a friendly hunt and maybe make a few new friends. Instead it looks as if I found a bunch of enemies. Im sorry that you judge me the way you do just because Im out of state or from NC. Its amazing to me that yall feel like you are the only state that are having these problems with OOSers. Its public land so you are just going to have to learn to deal with it. As far as the guy crappie fishing the same things happen on our lakes here in NC. Im pretty sure most of the OOSers you were talking about where not from NC. We have plenty of great crappie fishing here. For example, after the Bassmasters Classic was held on High Rock Lake here as well as one of the major Crappiethon events the lake stays full of OOSers fishing. Im not being a smarta## I just wanted to let you know it is not only in your backyard. The key is it is only going to get worse.

In all seriousness, I'm just having a little fun. It's fun to see some of these people get so worked up about this and it really doesn't take any effort whatsoever to do so. I'm about as respectful of other people both on the ramp and in the hole has you can get. Part of that comes from living in Virginia, where, by law, blinds (even on public land) must be at least 500 feet apart (and most folks double that). When you don't have many ducks to hunt, you become far more aware about screwing up someone's hunt than if you have ducks everywhere.

OK, I'll stop having my fun and working people up.

[Ducks be us]

Appearantly y'all have never been on a good Goose or Diver shoot. If its in y'alls backyard, you should check it out. By the way, a Canvasback is a Diver, as well as a Redhead, either one of wich, any one of "Us" would blast without hesitation...Maybe Im not getting it , but then again, maybe your not either
Y'all have a nice day!

Let's start with your first question!! Yes my ignorant brain stem does understand the meaning of public and it also understands that you are a fugging rocket scientist yourself if you wait till 700 to get in a duckhole on OUR public hunting grounds!!!! You just proved all our posts are well needed!! People who know nothing about our public resources but want to "joyride" till 700 to find a suitable spot!!! Just think of how many hunters you would screw up by doing that!! But then again someone who has to put out 10 spinners to kill a duck doesn't care anyhow!!! Oh we will wave at ya......... but it will be waving goodbye when your sorry booty is leaving the great state of MISSISSIPPI!!!

[H20 Fowl]

Yall are missisng my point. I dont have a problem with OOSers that do right but by god most of em do not. If you come down scout and find a good spot by all means you've done your work and deserve a good shoot or two. But dont come down here in the middle of the season because u heard mississippi was smokin tha ducks and sit on the boat ramp and listen for shots. Then go out the next mornin and sit up on top of somebody. Thats just wrong and thats what hap put a sour tatste in our mouth. If you dont have but three of four days a year to come down and can not scout then by god HIRE A GUIDE!!!! Just dont screw up what we work all year to achieve.

[tunica du4u]

H20, all this reminds me of 2 years ago this guy from N.C. shows up at my shop, some "turd-cutter" here in town had told him to see me as I probably duck hunt as much or more than anyone else, but this cat shows up in a 1980 Ford Courier p/u with a camper shell on it loaded down it looked like with everything he owned in the world, I mean he had just enough room in the cab to sit & drive, and the back had a spot for him & his dog to sleep wallowed out in it, pulling a wooden boat that Columbus brought over on the Mayflower, asking where the best public hunting was or where somone might let him hunt their private land for free. A friend had told him about the good hunting in Mississippi and so he loaded up to come see for his self. He had been at the Cut-off, livin outa his truck for a couple days but the hunting wasn't "fast" enough for him. I suggested the Gulf Coast and he left saying someone else had told him about Lake Washington and that was on the way to the coast so he was gonna mosey down that way. Never heard from him again

Y'all have a nice day!

I know canvasbacks and redheads are divers - I was referring to the big flocks of ruddy ducks, ringnecks, mergansers and the like. I'd bust a canny or a redhead any time, but, and I have been on good diver hunts in the Bay, I'd ten times perfer to bag one mallard than a limit of ruddy ducks.

Goose hunting isn't bad, but it's boring and it's pretty damn tough to miss those big Canadas when they come into the decoys. Not a lot of sport in goos hunting, IMO. Besides, the limit is 1 per person per day here. That's a lot of work for one goose.
