El Destructo:
Sure Glad that some of you are having good Luck Hunting....especially Pappy....and the rest of the Tennessee Boys.....I lost me Hunting Lease this Year....so now I am on Federal Parks Land now....and I get up this Morning....and went to the Recreation Area.....Second Week of Bow Season.....drove in at 5:00 am...got all situated....waiting for Sunrise.....the Wind picks up a bit from the Wrong direction.....so I chance a Move....get relocated...now it is about Daybreak....so I am getting ready....next thing I hear ....it sounds like Indy......Engines Screaming....and racing towards me.....here they come....about 14 River Buggies and Sand Rails.....screaming down the Riverbed....all over in front of where I am set up.....this goes on for about 30 minutes....and there are more Buggies coming....I think don't these Idiots know that it is Hunting Season??? Well I have enough of it....If I don't leave now....something Bad is going to Happen....I just feel it!!! So I hike back to the Truck....drive up the Riverbed to the Campgrounds to see what the Heck is going on.....well there is a Big Sign at the Entrance.....say.....Sand Drags Saturday and Sunday October 4th and 5th.....Test and Tune at 8 am....Races start at 12 pm......Well I get hot....how stupid can the Parks Department be.....what brings in more Money and 2 day Sand Drag....or thousands of Hunters???.... So I leave....and drive to the other end of the Federal Park Land.....Plum Creek....nothing but Big Canyons and Cottonwood Forests....home to hundreds of Whitetails and Mulies too.....well it is now 9 am....so I figure I will just settle in and wit for the evening Hunt now....since it is so late....I find me a nice place about 14 foot off the Ground in a Cottonwood tree....looking down a small Creekbed....lots of sign....I had gotten Deer here before....and Turkey too....so I sit there and am about to start nodding off....it has warmed up to the low 80's now....and I am drifting off......and all of a Sudden I here a Truck and Trailer come clattering down this dirt road towards Me.....then not just one Truck....it's now three....with big Box Trailers behind them..........and they are pulling right into the big Clearing that I am watching over by the Creek......they pull in....Start banging around and talking loud.....One Guy opens up a Trailer door....and they start unloading Cheairs and Tables.....Hundreds of them!!  I cant believe what I am seeing....so I get out of the Tree and head towards these Men.....and When I get there they all look at Me like I am some Alien ....in my Guille Suit with my Bow and Arrows.....I ask them... just what the Hell is going on??? They tell me ...We are setting up for a Wedding in the Morning.....going to have about 300 People and Ministry afterwards.....in th Middle of this Canyon ....in the Middle of Nowhere.....in the Middle of My Hunting Spot......Ahhhhh....I am about to really lose it now......but I bite my Lip till I cant take the pain ....and walk away....and as I am getting out of my Guille Suit and putting My Bow up.....another Truck pulls in hauling a Trailer with about 20 Porta Johns on it...........So I say out loud for all to Hear.....well I hope you Guys have a good Time.....Now that the Icecream Man has showed Up!!!! And I went Home..... What a Day.....I think I will cut the Grass tomorrow.....and watch the Trees Turn!!!

Little John:
I Feel for you Bro, that is definatly a sorry day of hunting. You need to come to Colorado next season, we have tons and tons of public land. I back pack in and hunt three to four miles from the road but never saw another hunter this year, but normally do see a couple. Hope it improves for you.    Kenneth

DanaM:
Mike, I hate to say it but I had to chuckle when I read this, someday when were all telling tales of bad hunting trips your gonna
have the grand daddy of stories to tell ;) You should have stayed for the reception and the food :D

Think you better start taking your vacation home in October, miles and miles of open woods here, as you well know. Say Ya to Da UP Eh :)

El Destructo:
You got a good point....may just have to change my Plans....but then there is always the packing and shipping of all that meat too!!

cowboy:
Mike: Man that sucks - I too like Dana got a good chuckle out of your story but feel bad for ya at the same time :'( ;D. I don't really know anything about the panhandle, hopefully you'll find another lease by next season. I'd invite ya to Del Rio but too many darn rules :(.
