Respect or Not

[Tusk Hog]

  Alright what's your opinions? As hard as it is to find land to hunt. How do you feel when your hunting buddies go to the landowners of the land you have gotten permission to hunt and get their own permission? Then carry their buddies with them. What are your opinion? What would you do?

[W-tate]

I would take a serious look at who my buddies were

[outlaw]

i would rather hunt by myself than hunt with back stabers but hand they are a lot of them out there.

[T-Bob Parker]

Pretty sure everybody on here agrees that's crummy  

[jven]

but it's to bad this sort of thing happens all the time.

[dabutcher]

this is along the same lines, but what if you brought a friend in to work on a contract with you (something that was going to bring in money) and then went behind your back??  is one worse than the other or would it fall along the same lines of a P.O.S.

Down here in florida it's very cut throat. A few people have access to most of the land around.
So if get an opportunity to hunt somewhere im going to take it. Most of the spots I hunt me and my dad are the only ones allowed to go or even know we are hunting it.

Just from being on this board it seems like you guys in texas have it alot easier. If someone asks if they can tag along on a hunt 10 people will say c'mon lets go.
It's not like that at all down here. You have to screw people or you dont get to hunt.

sounds like i wouldn't be hunting.

  Dabutcher, my thoughts exactly. Guess I have a conscience. Won't stoop that LOW.   

[hogbuyer]

 Its a shame u cant take a friend hunting and not no if he will step on your throat.  But it happens in this hog doggen business, put them hands on em and it will stop real quick

[hogaholicswife]

sfboarbuster hit the nail on the head it is cut throat down here.  We do not take anyone with us except a  select few as you  cannot trust anyone and if someone we know already has permission to hunt a spot we do not go there just out of respect.

We have only went behind someone once and that was just to prove a point; there was a guy who had just gotten into hunting and went with us a few times, well as his dogs got a little better he quit coming and then we found out he was trying to wiggle his way in on our place so we showed him how it felt...needless to say he backed off.

If we see a spot light we go some where else to keep from hunting on top of who ever may be there but we do not get the same respect.  One night we had a hog bayed and a bunch of people rolled up on our bay.  Another time one guy came up to us with one of our dogs on his truck, which caused a melt down and a half!

I would take them hunting, when wwe returned from the trip they probably would have nothing to do with hog hunting anymore. Im a nice guy but I have red hair , freckles and my name is harry its best my friends understand the rules. I dont mind getting honery.

[Texas_Cur]

I think they deserve an a$$ kicking.

All you can do is try to avoid hunting with people like this.  I know of a member on this board from Pearland that will try to steal your land in a heart beat.  BE CAREFUL WHO YOU TAKE HUNTING!!!!

[GitDatHawg]

Yeah that sucks people do that.   It would be different if the landowner approached them about it but to go behind your back and get the place to hunt, i think that is pretty messed up.   I was kind of in a situation like that before.   I was talking to a landowner and he told me i could come hunt his place.  Well it turned out someone i knew was hunting the place and i knew him.   So i called him and asked him if it was cool if i went.  He didnt care cause it wasnt his land anyways.  I just opted not to hunt it unless I was goin to go with him.  I didnt want to step on anybodys toes.   Gotta be respectful.

[cantexduck]

Jordan,
   I felt bad for you when I heard about what had happened.

  I wouldnt be able to hold my tongue if it happened to me.

[robbiew2208]

we take very few people with us. i know some guys that come to our part of the country and dont invite us. not that i like goin with a bunch of people, so i dont invite hardly anyone to go with us unless theyve got a place to go thats atleast as good. i hunt year round and have some guys ask me to hunt their places in the summer. i tell them ill only hunt if you only let me hunt it. i dont hold with that back stabbin crap

[Look Fur em]

If you hunt long enough it will happen to ya!

[Critter Catcher]

I've been trapping and hunting hogs for over 20 yrs now and I have had a couple of places stolen from me too. The last one was not to long ago by a person just getting into trapping and he got a contract with a city to "eliminate ALL the feral hogs" hahahaha and he is so new to the sport he probably thinks he will.

they should be hung just like cattle thiefs....

[TX HOG]

i brought a guy hunting with me and the landowner told him he was welcome to come back anytime. he turned him down. that is one of the two people i call everytime i go hunting. sometimes i have him hunt my places when i dont have the time to.

i wish everyone was like that but they're not. if anyone ever crosses me the least they have to worry about is an a$$ whoopin. id make sure they'd have to start over in hog hunting

[TX HOG]

something ive found out that works really good is  have the landowner get in a private conversation with the guy youre not sure about, the LO tells him he welcome to come hunt the place anytime and see what he says. thats how you know if you have good friends
