Howdy All,
If you expect to read a post from PETA, you will be disappointed.
I grew up in Wise County, and my granddad worked for the Forest Service, back in the '70s. LBJ was our local playground, back then. For at least the last ten years, my dad has leased grazing rights to LBJ, about 6 miles north of Alvord. We also own land out there. We are a bunch of hunters, too.
I am in an odd position. I understand all the different positions that folks have about access to public land. Regardless, please don't shoot my Dad, when he is checking his cows on LBJ
My dad is 70 years old, and drives a white, '97 F-250. He checks his cows on LBJ about 2-3 times a week, every week of the year. He tries to keep out during the early part of the season, but he still has to check the cows. If you see him, say Hello. WARNING - My Dad will talk your arm off.
Any way, here are a few reasons NOT to shoot my Dad:
1. He is old and tough. Won't taste good, no matter how you marinade him.
2. He may know the part of LBJ you are hunting, better than you. Ask him some questions. [See warning above]
3. My dad is out there making sure his cows are in the right place. They are not allowed to roam all over a section of LBJ. That is better for the hunters.
4. The deer have seen that worn out '97 F-250 too many times to be afraid of it.
I am not trying to start a war, here. The only reason I am willing to bring this up on TBH, is that a lot TBH members seem to be interested in the caretaking of LBJ. Something you have in common with my family, and my Dad.
With that said, I may step on some hunter's toes, but here are a couple of things that hunters can do to help keep my Dad out of there way.
1. Keep track of where and what cows you see. Tell my dad, and he may not even drive in.
2. Close any gate you open. My Dad has to keep the cows in certain areas. If gates are left open, the cows start roaming, then we have to come in to move them out.
Again, I am not trying to start a war on this forum. Just don't shoot my Dad, please.
Thanks,
Randy
