oh sweety, there is a difference between not being able to and not wanting to. but oh my hunting a county where there are more outfitters than deer or where 50% of land leases are controlled by out of state hunters sounds so tempting....

Why are you being so arrogant? What is your problem with Pike County? because it is known as the number 1 spot in the world for whitetails automatically you think its just a gimic? I suggest you change your mindframe quick. Considering you know nothing about the county, and I personally have lived and still hunt there, I know what it is. Pike County has the ultimate terrain and genetics, and whose fault is it that outfitters come in with millions waving it in poor farmers faces? You have to put yourself in their posistion, and regather your facts. I hunt on PRIVATE land in Pike county, owned by my familys best friend. My friends from Griggsville and Perry hunt on private land also, and apparenntly, outfitters arent that big of a factor, because guess what? there are giants all over this county, Already this year I have killed a 170" brute, and that was opening weekend, and I scouted and did all the work myself. So you have absolutely no reason to flame Pike County, and you can take that negativity and walk away, because you have no reasoning for flaming a whole county, because its main income is Outfitting. Out-of Staters are only living out a dream of everyones, and who amI to blame them, as that is what I want to do one day....own tons of prime whitetail ground.

IL Hunter, whats your last name, I probably know you.

Typical fruit mouth talk of some kid who hunts his uncle's brothers friends cousin's ground. You want me to put myself in the farmer's shoes??? Well its gonna be easy child, cause i already am. Or more important im someone who has hunted with his family on ground his entire life that was yanked out from under him by some brown lip new yorkers willing to puke out 30 bucks an acre pushing out any locals who have had the grand privilege to hunt such good ground as calhoun or god forbid pike. But forget the locals right? The out of towners are the real vitims of course. SOB "Just a livin out the dream" go a head and let them ram you in your corn hole boy if you think being their lap boy is going to help ya. You remind me of the Austrians before world war II as the Nazis came in and completely stole thier land. Such a dumb clueless look on your young round pie face as they spoon hole your land. But that might be before your time, right kid???

He is right about locals being pushed off of hunting ground. I've heard many people who have lost ground complaining about it being leased out from under them. If you lose the ground you hunt in this county, good luck finding more. I lost the gound I have hunted since '97 this year. Not due to an outfitter (although the owner is an outfitter), but because the owner (my father in law) doesn't like me. All because I'm a stay at home dad with an autistic childwho puts taking care of his son first. It's only because of a friend in Indiana that I'm going to have the opportunity to hunt this year. I've got a couplecounty tags that will go to waste this year.I can't hunt in my own county let alone my home state. Next year I get to hunt Ray Norbut FWAif I can get a tag for it.

DuckGod, if you werent' such a JackAss maybe they would have accepted the lease agreement with you in it.

What is your malfunction? Is it that because you got kicked off of your hunting ground that Pike County now sucks?Andd now I already told you I hunt on family and friends property, so again, use some logic that I provided you. And your obviously not in the farmers shoes if you got kicked off land and now have nowhere to hunt.And let them ram me in my cornhole? 1st of all, thats just an ignorant thing to say. 2nd, Im not letting anyone do anything, I am hunting on private land, like I said, and if I do get kicked off I have more land in Brown county to hunt. My family owns quite a bit of land there. you see, I( have a backup plan if our friend does finally give in. Is it Pike Countys fault that you got your land taken away in CALHOUN? no so I suggest you get your facts straight "kid" because as far as I'm concerned, you have nothing on us "farmboy weekend warriors". Weekend warriors actually have a life and can't just make time to hunt, but with the proper scouting and homework, I got a buck on the OPENING weekend. And you damn well know that you would do the same thing if you were from out of state and had money. You can't make a sensable arguement against us, because Pike County is not at fault, You are.

Usually people that are losers irl come to forums to act tough because it makes them feel like they are special or something I guess.

If you didn't put the stupidest things in your sig, I would think otherwise of you but with things like "I hate you" and "I love everyone including your wife" ...you obviously are one of these people.

Grow up and get a life please. People are here to talk about hunting not hear you bitch and whine about how much you suck.

You humor me at best. I dont care about pike county. I just cant stand bend-overs likeyou. Im done with this subject for now. Please continue frothing at the mouth and stroking your fellow hunters.

First of all, please refrain from namecalling as it is not only against HNI rules, but is also childish and immature. If it continues to happen your account will be banned.

Secondly, your name really bothers me. I can't seem to figure out if it's supposed to be that way or you just misspelled "Almighty".
