Trying To Figure This Guy Out
 

Lived by this Guy for 15 years and he just don't make sence.I was coming in from Deer hunting seen him out in the yard so I thought I would stop and see how he was doing.

He came to the Pickup,making it clear he was Packing as usual.Asked if I had done any good? Told him I didn't.We got to talking about another neighbor and how he was mad at me killing 6 Deer off my place last year.That I was killing all the Deer.Then this Guy says I hope you kill every D** one of them.Then it hit me on what he thinks.

He has a hatred for Deer.Just don't make any sence,he has no Grain Crops,just Cattle.When I first met him he was bragging about gut shooting Deer.He had a bunch come in there,hunted all season.Killed a bunch of Deer just left them lay Yes the Agents know of this just haven't caught them.

But my question is why would anyone think this way,and be very serious about their thought?

Hard to say for sure, but maybe he is cervidphobic? ;):D

RE: Trying To Figure This Guy Out
 

Pretty much the same question as a why would anyone want to kill another person, sure dont make sense to us at all, they just got a screw or two loose.

RE: Trying To Figure This Guy Out
 

maybe a friend or family member was killed in a wreck involving a deer.....hmmm

RE: Trying To Figure This Guy Out
 

I totally agree!

RE: Trying To Figure This Guy Out
 

Its not that uncommon of a thought among farmers/ ranchers. You have to understand that they are trying to make a living offwhat the land can produce.Every deer that lives on his ranch is eating food that could be going intohis livestock. For the grain cropper every ear of corn is one less in the hopper. For the Alfalfa grower every deer inthe fieldequals lesshay crop. As they see it the deer are stealing money from their pockets.

I'm not saying that I agree with them, but I do understand where they are coming from.

I was recently informed of a person VERY close by to me doing the same thing. (within a mile) Now, I have to 2nd guess taking some "smaller" bucks if I want one at all. I was told this guy is shooting EVERY deer he can and leaving them laying. Problem is, I don't know who exactly he is. [:@] I wish I did. [:o]

Our local poacher just roadhunts them while drinking pints of whiskey. But he is no landowner or a farmer like your neighbor. As long as he is breaking no laws, why do you care what he does on his land?

RE: Trying To Figure This Guy Out
 

Well he is breaking all kinds of Laws.They just can't catch him.He use to set the woods on fire.One time the Forestry Plane was flying over and he shot it down.One other time they had him spotted,he had a Guy with a Fertilizer Truck down there,he just got in front of the Truck,they lost sight of him and he made it home.

As far as Crop damage there is none.He just turns his cattle into the woods and lets them have at.

One year him and his buddies set 10,000 acres on fire.One of his buddies got caught.That was the year I was surrounded by fire for days,couldn't go no where.Forestry told me I was going to lose my place,but I proved them wrong.

He is kind of mad because I bought my place on the Courthouse steps after he lost it.

No I just don't really know what is the deal with him and Deer.

Sad. Harvesting animals without using the meat is nothing more than killing to kill. I was raised different. If you take it , you use it. I do not need the meat to sustain myself or my family but I enjoy the sport. I also respect the sport. There are many agencies that will take your kill and package it for families that would otherwise do without. Never let em lay.

RE: Trying To Figure This Guy Out
 

Man, that's ate up. Sounds like he is breaking a law or two. Has this guy ever taken pot shots at you? He actually shot down a Forestry plane?

RE: Trying To Figure This Guy Out
 

No he never took any pot shots at me.But one of his buddies beat the something out of the Chef on Forestry Fire crew,he is paying him restitution the rest of his life.

Yea I heard about the Forestry Plane,I asked a person at Church if he just shot at it? No he shot it down.

Ah we got some winners around here.Had an Old woman that had a Store here.Me and her was talking.She says I don't like this Guy will you go burn his Trailer? I told her I wouldn't.Well I was up on my roof.Look over towards that Guys place seen Flames and Black smoke.Go over there and it was already burnt to the ground.She died couple years ago.

Had one Guy get mad at another killed all his Hogs.

Had a Gay Guy shot at his Mailbox.I don't think they ever found who did it.

Years ago my Exwifes Uncle got drug to death because he was Indian.The guys that did it got away with it.They seen her in the store told her they did it and would get the rest of them if they had the chance.That was just few miles from here.

Then just yesterday I found out a neighbor is using an alias.Found out because my wife was trying to help him get Social Security.Once it was commented that he needed to give his real name he run everyone off.This explains him never letting the kids go to school or into town.

Real interesting around here and very hard to believe.But things are changing.Got New people moving in,changing ways that I know have not changed in a good hundred years.

all i can say about this is WOW!! where are you from??

RE: Trying To Figure This Guy Out
 

I would say don't waste your time. There are just some things not worth worrying about and this seems to be a good example. Trying to figure him out I mean. If he's breaking game laws (and it seems he is grossly breaking them) and you have something for LE - turn him in.

But no sense trying to figure a nut jobout - it will make YOU nutz.

RE: Trying To Figure This Guy Out
 

Sounds like you are not from there. Yes, they are some winners, but they have been there a long time. Trying to change everything just because you live there is going to rufflle some feathers.
My neighbor was kind of a city type. He was a nice guy, but he didnt like the deer I have as yard ornaments. So he complained to the city about it. I might have taken it down had he talked to me about it. After that, I put all my turkey decoys out in the yard.

RE: Trying To Figure This Guy Out
 

Another reason he may not like the deer is because of the damage that they do to the fences and that cost more money and time to fix. Either way dude just aint right!!

RE: Trying To Figure This Guy Out
 

Yep!.....I can see were he is coming from. Here in FL the deer can do $15,000 to $20,000 damageto a Watermelon Field. If we wait for the FWC to respond to our requests forkilling the deer, it would be $30,000 in damage.

Now, where I see he is a Dumb @$$ about it is letting them lay in the field.[:'(]
