two things:
1) I've noticed a number of hunters in Hartshorne over the last few weeks. Arent they restricted to certain time periods in January(i.e., before noon on Tues & Thurs)? What gives?
2) Even though I could never do it, I have nothing against hunting per se (especially of deer which need thinning), but dont you think its kinda lame to be hunting in parks like Tatum/ Hartshorne/ Huber which are surrounded by suburbia? I dont know. I just think setting up a blind (or whatever they call those things up in the trees) within sight/earshot of residential subdivisions is just lame. is it really fun to hunt in a place where you can hear kids playing nearby or hear garbage trucks backing up?
At Tatum I dont think they even have restricted time frames. A few weeks ago I passed a hunter on the trail and then minutes later I passed a family with a jog stroller. its kinda ridiculous. If I was a hunter sitting up in a tree and spotted a soccer mom pushing a stroller I would think - maybe this isnt really a place to be hunting. just lame.
know what I mean? kindof like "mountain biking" on the canal path.
I would think you would want to go somewhere up north where its actually SOMEWHAT "wild".
