Somebody is cheating!!

[PROUDREDNECK]

Good for you better safe than sorry

[Dave_]

Bums me out to see people cheating. Especially after I bust my butt pack my stuff in and out. There are rules for a reason!

Did you tear down the 2x4 leanto?

[GarGuy]

Did you tear down the 2x4 leanto?

Why would you do that? Is there a rule against it? someone was clearly hunting there. Im sure im missing something.

[Boomerang]

Is baiting illegal? Unfamiliar with the area, but report it to a Game Warden if it is.

[Bayouboy]

We used to build and place pipe feeders and ladder stands in the national forests for years. Left them there year after year. I am sure lots of people used and hunted them and I know I hunted some that I found. Wasn't a big deal back then.

Then... a new generation came along that thought certain areas belonged to them and would argue over areas of the forests. Wardens then started enforcing the no baiting and permanent stand rules.

So yes.... people do it.
People bait on private leases. So, what's a little hand corn hurt in the forests?

[NotJose]

It happens. U used ur best judgement..

[savagehunter83]

I didn't want to mess with someone else's pot. I just moved along. Wasn't far from the road either.

how i read it

[Saltgrass Mikerr]

As a Annual Hunting Permit kind of guy, the state regulations state you can bait deer and feral pigs during bow season.

I agree. I wouldn't tear down any stand either. Just walk on by and keep to your self.

Its not state its federal, been almost 20 years since i hunted it but you couldnt bait it then.

Guess I should have mentioned in the other thread. LOTS of area of the Thicket is close to homes and family. The kids, especially the Boy are growing up here and these woods are there back yard. They may have make shift club houses and forts. You knpw kids. Growing up like this is what all us city folk want for I kids but just can't. I'm not saying there isn't "havesting" by the local. But Tom Sawyer and friend live here. Behind Sourlake, you always hear kids playing when the weather is nice.

2x4 lean to, peanut butter war from the left over picnic the carried. Next time you run across something like that, be careful to not step in a homemade snare.

Did you tear down the 2x4 leanto?

No I just left the area. Be my luck a game warden would see me do that and accuse me of it being mine.

[lesson 101]

Yea it wasn't none of my business to mess what someone else done but clearly in the regs state NO BAITING. Long as they don't bother me I'll keep to myself.

Once, We were pretty far down at creek before the suncame up. When it was just light enough to see, there was some movement to my right 75 yards way, second later 4 or 5 hog dogs went galloping across the creek. Odd thing is they were very quite and sniffing hard. Few seconds and they starting barking and running. Never saw or heard the owner.
