Hunting deer with rocks- my diatribe-- also posted in classifieds

The lease of your youth -- your dad took your family and the kids- hunted and killed rabbits and coyotes at night or maybe the holy grail a bobcat? You got to take your bb gun or a .22 and explore between the morning hunt and the afternoon hunt and catch armadillos or catch fish or find horn toads/arrow heads.

Heck that's the what I was on as a kid--Example: it was hot and we were there for a week-too hot for us to want to kill a deer and deal with the meat for a week- my Dad told me -- "hey you wanna earn my respect as a hunter?" I of course said yes -- he said "Here take these 7 rocks-- I want you to sneak up on a deer and when you can hit one of them with a rock -- I will know you can hunt."

Took me all week --I never killed a deer that week-- but guess what?

Sunup to sun-down I staked deer and tried to throw a rock to hit one--

I did it on Saturday before we were leaving Sunday -- tiny little doe and I hit her just in front of her left leg from about 20' -- but I did it! I was 10' Tall for a a month -- I could hit deer with rocks!-- I dont need no Stinking GUNS!

Its a memory I will always carry with me -- now -- I am looking for a lease to take the kids on a couple of 5 times during season and once in the summer-- I cant find anything -- NADA on a couple of the sites and when I get a lead I call and when I talk to these lease bosses/or rep/landowner-- they say "Well our biggest deer last year was a 157-- but we expect to do more this year--

I dont care -- What I do care about is my kids see game --



When did this become about growing deer in high fences and 100K protein bills?

Jeez I am trying to find a lease that will allow my kids to hunt and no I don't care if they shoot a 50000 inch buck I would however like to see game and plenty of it -- especially exotics --and I want to teach them they dont have to shoot every time they go.--But, I want them to shoot "stuff" and learn to hunt and be men and get away from the freaking TV.

I am willing to spend 7K this years to do it and want something in the rock springs area-- but it not looking possible --

RIDICULOUS -- are we even hunting anymore?

I could care less about shooting a whitetail deer anymore--

Sorry but this is frustrating -- Hunting used to be about hoping to find the big one-- not ranching and feeding him and then shooting him-- if you have a rick springs area lease with exotics and are looking for a family like mine-- let me know please-- I would be happy to send you my money --
