Yep, I said I wouldn't pay a Texan to go hang out with "beer-swilling" guys with guns sitting on top of a corn flinger, and waiting to shoot baited deer.
Won't do it, and, won't call that hunting, and most of what else occurs in Texas.
And, I pay the land management agencies Zero dollars every time I hunt. I don't rent the land from them, I don't acquire any sort of license to use the land, nor any expectations of exclusivity.
How you somehow use a bizarre twisted logic to create a false equivalency between hunting on My Public Lands and what goes on in Texas is quite the painful contortion. Please don't hurt yourself attempting it.
I will readily admit to paying quite a bit of taxes, and gladly doing so, to the BLM and the Forest Service to manage My Public Lands for my benefit, your benefit, and, more importantly, my kid's and future generations' benefit.
And, likewise, I gladly pay the State wildlife agencies in multiple states to manage the State's game for my benefit, and your's, if you choose to go out and hunt and fish.
And, I also provide plenty of input to the Land Management agencies to manage My Public Lands for my benefit, including calls, letters, public comment, and, when needed, gladly funding lawsuits for the benefit of myself and future generations.
I get it, everything with you has to be twisted into an anti-government rant.
