When I hunted, many, many, many moons ago.<g> I put my guns away so long ago when I knew I did not need them any more... But when I did, I, We never hunted from stands, over looking feed stocks, licks etc.. I guess not that it matters.. For a person kills from wherever... We just went out there.. Although we had a ranch, and had all the opportunity in the world. But we seen and heard so much shit.. Like one time, my mom and I heard a bunch of shots right up behind our main place, in a pasture where there was only suppose to be only some tame cattle of ours.. We went up there, and some hooligans shot a fawn right amongst our cattle, it was legal, because it was anterless season, but they didn't want to waste their tag on it. They had gut shot it... We hung around until they tagged it.. An KIcked em off. And another time, I went out to get the cows in the morning, and found a great 4 or 5 pt whitetail buck dead amongst our tame cows in the pasture.. Buckshot, mind you by spot lighters.. Do you know what buckshot is ? I think you do.. I put my guns away after a few more incidents.. Like when I was out in a corral by the road and some hooligans I stopped wondered why I stopped them from driving through to some of our outer pastures... And should I mention cutting live trees for XMAS trees because they thought they just grew on trees.<g> I just f'ng wonder if me and my brother went into Seattle or Spokane and cut some nice looking spruce in front of a yard.. <ng> I am not passing judgement. But that is just the way it happened.. I'm sorry And we had always kept the place open.. But we quit.. We had let them cut their damn XMAS trees and hunt until the hooligans took over.. And I put my guns away, shortly after.. I didn't want to be associated..
