I have hunted The foot for years. Yes things can get crazy. Years ago was in a family blind. They phased those out. Many weekends spent at Eagle’s Nest. Hunted with the Ridgley /Samburg guys. Different bunch up that way.

Quoted: Killed two kids, one if which I knew. Chance worked at final fight outfitters in union city, a large locally owned hunting and shooting store. Nice kid, quiet but could be funny as hell. David Vowell had hunting partners who stopped hunting with him because he'd gone off the deep end years ago. He's a POS and I hope he dies a painful death. Reelfoot Lake, as another poster mentioned, has a colorful history. From the Nightriders to current day shenanigans, it's an interesting history. Duck blinds are seen as private property by some folks, even though their use is subject to a lottery draw by the TWRA. It isn't odd to have your decoys sunk/stolen, somebody pepper your blind with bird shot, shoot your boat, or shoot you because you're hunting in "their" blind. View Quote Second I read that I thought about coming out there to help aid the search. Chance was great at customer service. And I bought a few things over the phone from them. Kid didn't deserve this shit. @rob78 can you provide updates? |

Quoted: We even have people here in arfcom defend that attitude. Just last week in a thread about someones hunting cabin getting burned down, a member said its because the "outsiders" don't give the "locals" a "fair shake." Lol fuck that. My philosophy is money exchanged hands, titles changed owners, stay the fuck off my property or you can be buried in it. View Quote Shit then it won't only be theirs. They'll be a part of it. |

Them boys on reelfoot and the ol hickory project outside Nashville don’t fuck around.
I’ve met guys who’d get pissed as all get out when you attempted to jump the blind. And for you guys that don’t know TN duck hunting, jumping a blind is perfectly legal and part of it. But that ol bastard needs to be sunk and never seen again |

Hopefully their families leave his estate and heirs penniless and destitute after he dies from covid in prison.

When you have a history of private property ownership, highly contested transfers of land from private to public, and some areas maybe having a few blinds grandfathered in, then the state sets rules that allows others to hunt 'their' blinds.....it's always going to end up being a mess.
The solution, as any sane person knows, is private property. Public property ought to be a misnomer. But even if you privatize everything, you're still going to have conflicts over migratory animals as everyone thinks they own all the animals whether they're sitting on your duck hole or not. |

Don't fuck around with crazy old rednecks. They're batshit crazy and because they're old they've got very little to lose. They're willing to kill or be killed over a few ducks, or something else that seems equally trivial when you're younger and not crazy.

Quoted: "But people also need to understand that local tradition might trump property lines and laws. " Sure sounds like defending criminal activity because of "tradition" to me.

My philosophy is money exchanged hands, titles changed owners, stay the fuck off my property or you can be buried in it. To be fair, one person posted that, out of an 8 or 9 page thread. To be even more fair, he wasn’t defending or excusing the attitude or behavior, either. Just merely explaining the reality, however wrong it may be, of some situations. But a bunch of low comprehension members completely misunderstood it. "But people also need to understand that local tradition might trump property lines and laws. " Sure sounds like defending criminal activity because of "tradition" to me. But what do I know, what with all my low comprehension and all? Sounds like you should work on your comprehension skills and then consider that single sentence within the greater context of everything else that its author posted. Or just finish reading through the thread and see where others, including people relatively local to the incident, have already explained it. It now even has a happy ending. Well, except for the owner of the burned cabin who is now probably forever unwelcome and will have trouble there after condemning the entire population. He sure showed them. |

Quoted: Several years ago a guy was boating to his blind, some methbilly local shot him with a rifle from a deerstand. Killed him. The duck hunting is phenomenal in that area. How much armor you got? Would a boat made of ar500 float? View Quote Actually he was walking in when shot. Carrying a chainsaw. Guy that shot him thought they were antlers. |

View Quote My side of the river is a little different, but 90% of our duck hunting area is private property. People fly in from all over the country and stack deep in the blinds. If you are local, you either guide for one of the big landowners, or you're SOL. Most all of the blinds are rented out months in advance. We are left with a few public holes, that it's pretty much a boat race every morning to get to. Sometimes you get there first, sometimes you get there last and go end up standing in the middle of the ditch hoping to get lucky. I've been in a hole with some random guys that turned out okay, and I've been waved on before. |

It was not farmland before the lake was formed. The lake was created by the New madrid Quake in 1811. It was Indian land at the time.

Quoted: I hunt a little (not very successfully LOL). I didn't start hunting until I was in my 30s. One of the things that turned my off of it for a long time was how otherwise normal, level-headed, upstanding members of society would turn into irrational raging assholes once their preferred hunting season started.
