Headed out to Bladen lakes yesterday morning and was surprised at the fact that no one was there that I could tell. Boy was I mistaken. By the time sunlight crested the pines it was like the Myrtle beach strip out there. I saw more dogs and straight piped z-71’s (which are obnoxious in my opinion and don’t sound good but that’s for another forum lol) than I’ve ever seen in one place.
I was expecting to see some dog hunters and accepted that since singletary tract is closed due to flooding but I gotta say.....I don’t get it. Everyones got their way of doing things and call me crazy but I don’t see the sport in ripping up And down the road in your pickup staring at a gps screen. I’m no avid hunter but I spent a good chunk of my childhood in the woods with my dad and uncle who taught me to respect and conserve gods creation and to disturb as little as possible to accomplish whatever it is that you’re doing there. Sorry to say I don’t see that in this group of guys. And just to be clear I have absolutely no problem with working dogs...I squirrel hunt with my dogs but I do however drag my butt out of the truck and walk through the woods. I know their are good people who hunt deer with dogs and their are exceptions to every rule maybe its just the local club down there...i don’t know ...just my opening day observation. Rant over
