Could possibly be a lower IQ on that forum than most any other hunting forum I’ve seen in awhile.

“I think we're establishing that public land is good for the lazy, morally corrupt, and socially inept part of society....the part that intelligent, hard working, socially balanced people with integrity would not allow on their private land, for obvious reasons. This has some truth with the decadence emerging from the Western part of the US. Public land exists out there in such a large proportion because it needs to exist, to serve that segment of the nation that no one else wants to deal with.”

Hunter’s arguing that not having any public land to hunt is awesome.

The level of mental gymnastics is Olympic.

There some special people at that site, I frequent it myself. I couldn’t find that specific post or who wrote it but I’m guessing it was a troll and shouldn’t be taken seriously.

If you Google ecological disaster the wikipedia page will have the texas flag as the background.

I’m from Texas. Can confirm.

Texas has sort of become a caricature of itself.

Some of those characters are too tacticool for me.

That rant is like Billy Madison explaining society , and the principle telling him everyone listening is dumber for hearing it .

If God had wanted Texans to ski, He'd have made bullsh*t white.

And deer feeders.

Being a texas resident for 25 years I am not at all surprised by his statements...Most people here think hunting is crawling in a heated box blind waiting for a feeder to go off and then driving over and loading a deer or hog onto their truck / atv. Typically see people paying 2k each for 4 hunters on 1 section. Most have never had to carry or drag out anything more than a 250 yds ( and our deer are so small my kids do it..pigs are a different matter). Very few actually use the limited public land that is available for anything other than duck hunting. There are some more exciting hunts at some of the WMA's but you have to lottery in...I have better odds drawing elk tags...the competition is that stiff. What is public (NF) sounds like a war zone on opening day. It's cheaper ( and a hell of a lot more fun ) for me take my kids out west to hunt. Most deer here weight about 100 lbs field dressed if you are lucky. The concept of spot and stalk here does not exist...you might bump the deer off onto johnny's property next door and you know he will shoot anything!

I get this incredulous look when people see pictures of us packing out elk or deer on our backs...why didn't you drive over then load it into the truck...They just have not gone out west to experience what it actually takes. A hill here is 30 ft...when you bring them out west they freak out when you tell them we need roll over those three hills that are 500ft each to get to the elk. Their eyes go wide and they just about have a heart attack.

Lol. I’ve never understood the ‘Texas is so great’ thing.
They couldn’t even open carry until fairly recently.
Whitetails are training wheels for kids and new hunters.

Being in and out of Texas most my life, I think that’s doesn’t sum up even a percentage point of Texas hunters, that guys trolling. Most love Public land and most hunt or loth to hunt out west, Are Texans serious about property rights absolutely, as should everyone. Do they look at game management differently yes, they don’t have migrating herds, why should they.

it’s best not to disenfranchise 1/10 of the total hunters in the US, maybe it’s better to acclimate then to western style and it’s federal history vs belittling and loosing a huge force, both economical and voting.

Technically most Texas hunters spend a much larger percentage of the year a field hunting big game then their western counterparts, so being they where a Country and deeded our well before state hood, they have a pretty decent system to counter lack of federal lands.

Lots of poo pooing Texans lately. I really hope this little cross section of individuals is not how you have decided to view all Texans. If so, you're no better than they are. There are idiots everywhere, including where you live. We have more than our fair share here, I know. Unfortunately, we continue to get more idiots from liberal states that enjoy our economy, so it will only get worse.

Hunting in the west is so much easier than out here. If you've never lived here then you have no idea how lucky you have it in places with lots of public land. That's not so say it can't be done here, its just more difficult. I've been lucky to have property or friends with land to hunt on. But most Texans don't know what real hunting is like, because "real" hunting is not the same here. Blinds, feeders and pallets of corn or the norm here, but that's just the way it is. Consider yourself lucky if you have tons of public land outside your back door. As for me...I'll continue to make the drive west until I can convince the Mrs. to move.

" Texas is the “south” for city folks "

Oh lawd this is so true... I have never thought about it this way but it's so accurate.

After living in TX going on 8 years I like to describe it as Texans having an obsession with presenting the image of the mythological Texan while not living up to it and being VERY, VERY sensitive about that fact.

People become a product of the environment they live in and will defend, with the best of intentions, some pretty indefensible stuff because it's their traditions and how it's "always been done"

I know lots of TX hunters and the ones I associate with tend to be more into "real" hunting than sitting in a box waiting for a corn feeder to go off so #notalltexans certainly applies.

In a way I kinda pity folks whose only knowledge of hunting is the TX model, it's like that kid who never left the tiny crappy town he grew up in and can't imagine anything else better than what he knows. (I grew up in a really crappy small town so I'm qualified to talk about those folks because I could have easily been one of them lol)
