Was not meaning to offend you, sorry that it came across that way, tact is not one of my strong points quite often.

There was just something about your post that seemed strange, and I jumped to conclusions.

I guess the reason it came across the way it did, is that killing a State record Deer in Texas, has more to do with the amount of money a person has to spend then on actual hunting skills or accumen.

In Texas, most of the folks that kill the bigger bucks have been watching these animals over several seasons and know the animal they are after just like they know their own dog.

It is usualy not a case of knowing how big it is, but a case of not realizing it was bigger than they thought it was.

Did not mean to come across as feeling you were underqualified, but more as a case of uninformed.

Deer hunting in Texas especially, is not like the things you described, the fishing or the bird hunting, simply because the unknown variables that make those two sports challenging, have been removed for the most part from deer hunting here in Texas.

Rarely is it a case of if i kill a big buck and more of a case of when I will kill the big buck.

JMO, but I feel that to get an accurate accounting of the state of deer hunting here in the state, you would need to do a series of programs and interview folks that hunt all of the different ways of hunting for deer here in the state, than just those that for what ever reason are able to afford the animals that some folks look upon as records.

What would not even be given the classifacation as a cull on a high fence property, might be the deer of a lifetime off of Public Land.

Think about that, see if your bosses will go for a series of shows addressing the complexities of der hunting here in Texas instead of just doping one on the "trophy" animals that have been killed.

Again, I apologize for any thing I said that offended you, I just feel that there is more to the story of deer hunting here in Texas, than the 10 biggest bucks ever taken in the state.

You know, I thought that I was the biggest arse on here, but in this case you seem set on taking my title from me.

I'm just sorry I missed the witty prose that dethroned you.

Shoot when I met ya CH I thought you and your better half were nice as could be and very interesting to talk to. Maybe you're a "keyboard arse" and not a "real life arse"? LOL

I appreciate each and everyone of you that took the time to give me some feedback. My audience is mostly going to be Cass County (Atlanta,Queen City etc) and Bowie County (Texarkana, Hooks, New Boston etc) and anyone that listens on the web.

I am hoping to book some interesting guest for next week. I am in contcact with Cabela's (hope to get Dick) and Ted Nugent's publicist (seems like he would be a great interview). Am going to get Ray Scott Jr. for all of you anglers out there- he will be on this week or next. (He founded B.A.S.S. and the Bassmaster Tournament Series along with the Whitetail Institute among other things).

But the show also will keep the local aspect as an integral part...there will be a weekly report on fishing Wright Patman, and I am trying to get Lake O' the Pines and Wright Patman game wardens to each committ to bi-weekly interviews, hopefully they can provide info on their jobs, the dumbest poaching encounters they ran into, and why we can't all shoot 20 commarants every day.

The options are limitless.

TXDUCKMAN: these are great questions, -thanks
How big was the ranch?
Is it high fenced?
Do you feed year round?
Do you own or lease the land?
Did u hunt it or it just appear at the corn and bam?


Appreciate everyone,

-Cable

No he doesn't.

Me and him had a difference of opinion over Cable's post and intentions.

I was in the wrong by pushing things.

Duckkilla is entitled to his opinion, and I should have stopped pushing the issue.
