Road Hunting

[jegerjack]

I am sorry if I sound like a whiner but I am sick and tired of people labeling large groups people, IE "Slob Hunters", just because you hunt or fish differently. My family did not have a dog, so we road hunt. On a normal year we might see 1 or 2 pheasants that we get a shot at but the idea that you can drive right up to a pheasant and shoot it is incorrect. What happens is that you might see one, in which you have to get out an attempted to creep up on it (which most of the time does not happen) and then if you are lucky, take a shot. The term "Slob Hunters" should not be used so broadly, it should be used when a individual willingly hunts illegally.

Thus ends the rant.......JegerJack

jegerjack I agree completely. "Slob hunters" is a far too over used term. I have many fond memories of my Dad and I going out on road hunts, just the two of us, no dog, talking about "stuff", listening to the Gophers or Vikes, and maybe seeing one or two birds a day. Then the great planning came into play. How would we approach them? Would we both go, or just one of us? Great excitement for a young hunter, getting to hang out with Dad and trying to "feed the family". Now we hunt with a dog and walk many miles. But its still pretty enjoyable driving home with Dad scanning the ditches in hopes of seeing the white ring in the ditch.
