I was out at a hunt test on public land this weekend. ( related article here: http://texashuntingforum.com/forum/ubbth...iel#Post5483186 ) As I drive up and air my dog I see this guy with an old double barrel shotgun smoking a cigarette and yelling at some of the hunt test people. He was ticked we were ruining his hunt. While he was complaining a group of about 15 ducks circled. He started running back towards the pond he was at and loaded a couple rounds. Before he got there the ducks cupped down and his buddy dropped three. The hunt test members apologized as he wrapped up his hunt and headed out. A little while later I was explaining to one of my fellow handlers how I thought this was going to be a retriever hunt test and not an upland hunt test. I said, "It made perfect sense to be a retriever test because it is DURING THE SPLIT". As soon as I said that we both realized what happened earlier. That guy had shot three ducks and poached while we all watched. No one else even realized it, they were all spaniel/ upland people. Anyways, that made my weekend even more interesting. I do not know if he did not know or did not care. I think he honestly did not know.

Lots of ducks during the split and no other hunters.

I've seen that guy he yells at my kids to get off the yard every Saturday. Hunt test people don't have time to hunt.
