So these two friends are talking and the first guy says "Have you ever had a Freudian slip of the tongue?" The second guy says "What's that?" First guy: "It's like the other day on the elevator at my office building. The elevator doors open and this gorgeous woman with a low cut dress is already on there and instead of saying 'Six please', the floor I work on, I said 'Sex please'." "Oh yeah," says the second guy. "Just last week, at breakfast, I was going to say to my wife 'Pass the honey, Honey', but instead I said 'Pass the honey you miserable !itch, you ruined my life.'"

Call me old fashioned. I remember when the first high fences started going up. It was all about exotics. I liked that idea and thought it was cool.We have some land thats been in the family since 1932 near Richland Springs. Over the years we have killed a lot of deer there, some big ones too. We never saw one but there have been lions killed very near our place and one killed a deer on our place once and buried it with brush, which we found. It was all gone nest time we checked. Weve seen red foxes, ring tailed cats. all kinds of stuff. One of the biggest components of hunting for me was always, "you never know what might walk out" and you didn't, and that was the thrill, to sit there and fantasize about it. As time passed more and more high fences started showing up, and I couldn't believe people were putting them up just for whitetail, native game, hell, they were already there, why did you need a fence?? I didn't even like game cams in the beginning, I wanted to be surprised. We didn't even score deer. It was by how many points he had. I miss all that. We are slowly being high fenced all around. every time I take the regency bridge road, or 500 into San Saba or whatever, it seems like there's more high fence. No one can tell me it doesn't affect the free flow of big game. It makes me sad to see what it has become. I still have the fever for it though, I go a lot, I'll be there this weekend, I still kill deer, we all do, my brothers and the boys, but that mystery of it that was so exhilarating, that made for such great campfire talk, I miss that.Plus high fences are ugly. fire away.

Amen to that, Great post! That's what its all about.
