Crowder warning!! Lock up your $#!+!!

If he is not careful he is going to end up meeting the open end of someones barrel...

Really none of my business, but I would just lock up my stuff and not stir up too much with the local outlaws. Over the years, I have heard of duck camps being burned, well motors stolen or shot with high powered rifles, etc. I know it is frustrating, but you guys are here only during duck season, so it you threaten them, they will get their revenge while you are gone and it will cost a lot more then.

Yes, they love the levee and Dummy Line Road where it dead ends into the Refuge, as well as Barefoot Road and back up the river.

I was supposed to go with the Feds to work a dummy deer off of the levee one day, but got tied up with an upcoming hunter ed class. The daddy of the clan stopped on the levee, unloaded the mag of his 22 mag at the decoy, proceeded to reload and then the Fed knocked on his window.

I think his buddies ragged him pretty hard after that...his better days of outlawing having left him some years ago.

I know this is gonna sound crazy, but even though they are outlaws and I was constantly trying to catch them, I still enjoyed stopping and talking to some of them on the side of the road. Heck, the summer after I caught the one with 17 squirrels, he laughed and told me he was going back to get more shells when I stopped him. We got a good laugh out of that. We would talk about fur prices and catfishing and whatever else you talk about when you are just talking hunting and fishing to folks. I'd see his uncle in the river and find out if the flatheads were biting or not. Then he'd see me in my personal boat running lines and we'd stop in the river and talk for a while. Strangely enough, I kinda miss a couple of them, but the other ones I don't miss at all.

Wingman,

They (Eads) are actually good people. They just still live like they did growing up, which is living off the land. Do you know who the game wardens call when someone has drowned in the river and they cant find the body? Bunk has dragged several out of the river b/c no one knows them like him. I also remember a time when a buddy of mine got lost in Okeefe and they went and got Bunk from Camp B to find him in the middle of the night b/c he knows those woods like the back of his hand also. Of course this was before Robbie, as he knows every tree in that place too. They do bend the rules sometimes, but they aint half as bad now as they used to be.

Man, have I heard a bunch of stories of Bunk from some people I know in Crowder. I know all of them can't be true, but even if some of them are...WOW

[duckkiller]

is Sam's Place still open? last I heard was it had been sold, but we sho did have a good time in that place a time or two

I wish I knew what Bunk has forgot about hunting and fishing

After seeing several of us basically running on water and um, well, wasting a few shells in his direction, he hauled !@# and the ramps fell out of the back of his truck.

If you take a shell and ring it with your pocket knife right where the wad starts, you can make an improvised slug with a #2 shot really quick. That would really make "wasting" shells a little more effective, if you know what I mean.
