Gardners Marsh Doe Weekend

SW, only if they are watching you.

It may be A FORM OF ANIMAL MOLESTATION. :D
Could be expensive if they took your boat. That must be some mighty tasty meat.
 
hey its just the law they really never used to do any thing about it untill all the yuppies started to complain I can remember some fun times out in the marsh ,but it is going to be a thing of the past if FWC has their way
 
CFTH, hell, with a 10 ga and 00 buck you should be okay just pointing in the general direction. Sure would be a good time until John Law pulls up. Dang, what is Brewster going to do now! :D

Give me a foot steering boat and a 10 gauge and let the fun begin. :lol: :lol:

Good god a 10 gauge you have lost it you know your shoulder :lol: :lol: Nothing like a little tenderizer by trigger squeeze :D
 
No ticket here. They just gave me a hard time for driving off trail and not having orange vest on while the guns were unloaded and under the deck. The hunt Saturday a.m. was a waste of time with a helicopter hovering over top of my stand for 30 mins.
 
That damn helo was buzzing you as well he wouldnt leave me and my dad alone and for once I was completely legal BASTARDS
 
Was it an Osceola County SO or a FFWCC bird? Usually, OCSO copter will constantly straffe either Gary Zipperer or Overstreet's fence to run deer and hogs off the lake and onto their ranchs. Equal reperesentation quaranteed by the U.S. Constitution...Yea, RIGHT.
 
FWC was the ones flying over me. Lucky for me they stopped a friend of mine and he gave me the heads up. He heard over the radio they were sending someone to my boat so I got legal quick.
 
Sheriff over me pricks wouldn't leave me alone seen my boat and then circled over and over I finally stepped out and give them the ole 1 finger salute and they circled some more
