I guess some you guys don' t have any crime in your area.[8D]
Like I said ,I don' t have to carry a gun on my hunting club or my land . But there are places I feel I do need one.
Really this is more of a question of " How far will you go to kill a nice buck?"
I only know of a couple of places that I stand a chance to kill a 120-160 class buck with a bow. They require me to use a boat to access the land and the easiest way to get there is by using some remote boat launches that are miles down dirt roads . There is no town ,no police, and currently the counties are too poor to afford a full time Game warden. Mostly fishermen and some hunters have been getting robbed at gunpoint at some of these launches a lot for the last 5 years. It' s mostly locals, very poor , and addicted to crack doing the robbing.
Nobody has had a Ned Beatty incident or anything crazy like that, that I' ve ever heard of anyway. But they have had guns stuck in their face , been robbed, and there have been some murders during the robberies. And I have had stuff stolen out of my truck while I' ve been out hunting.
Some of you I' m sure would quit hunting these locations because of the risk. Some of you might think I' m full of crap .But I will be walking to my truck with my hand on a .357 if I am uneasy about approaching my truck and I will keep hunting the areas (cause I can' t help it !!).
The fact that some of you do not have to worry about stuff like this and find the need to mock people that don' t have it as easy as you is the real joke of this thread to me .

Be glad you got it easy !!
