Well guys everyone misses the point , its not that these birds are tame, and if you have not hunted Texas sitting back home and watching TV to see this sort of Practice does make one wonder as too where and what kind of birds these TV hunters are hunting. But Texas has a population of bird larger then any State in the US. These ranches that these birds are hunted and Videoed are loaded with birds. It not that they are tame birds , its because of the Management in Texas on some of these large Ranches that produce the Volume of birds that live on the land. Some Parts of Texas allow a 4 bird limit in one day, so this is just what this sort of hunter has done.

This is why most video done is taken in the state of Texas because of the population, and it cuts down the Hours that is put into the shows that you watch. To down grade these hunters is not right , because of how things are in this state.

Most of us don't have the money to hunt these Ranches , but the producers spend the bucks because in the end they will get it back in viewers of the programs. Some of these ranches like the Ford Ranch is so big that one can get Lost driving a truck on them, I've seen it myself. The birds are free rangeing birds and come an go as they Please , just the numbers are so High that it is not impossible to have 30 birds come into you in any one setup.

I hear this Public land crap all the time and Mr Longbeard tends to like and announce that this is all he hunts. I can understand that some people don't have private land to hunt on , but making a effert to fined Private land is another feat that everyone should do. I spend Countless hours knocking on doors to find these such places and when I exsplain of a hunt , I get slapped in the Face because I'm not hunting Public land all the time. Well to tell you the truth , I hunt Public land and do often and am darn well successfull at it. Do we have hunters here on private land , YES big time and matter of fact on a very large scale higher then the US.
because of the population of hunters over the size of the public land there is to hunt. Other then the state of Florida on management Units , the Public land in and across the other US states are a breeze to hunt over what we have in Ontario. In all the travelling I have done across the US Ontario has the toughest birds to hunt...BT
