Where are your gloves? Safety first!

I smell a hoax.

Is it not possible that BH hired two nearby Hollanders (hint: he’s one of THEM) wearing Pink PETA hats to attack him with wild grass blades while yelling, “This is an animal refuge area and you are a crow murderer!” “This is Crow Country!”

Is it not possible that whilst faking the effort to protect himself (wink, wink), BH (not intending to, of course) faked slipping on the icy marsh and fell, cutting his own hand, and then paid off the two outcast Dutchmen vagrants with a check signed in his own blood and called the local CNN office to report this heinous hate crime.

Is it not possible that that CNN told BH to “take a hike” since he didn’t qualify as hate crime recipient, with the possible exception of him being attacked by a person from an adjacent county, whose TBC is lower. I suspect that IF, IF, BH is trying to gain sympathy for his getting skunked in the field, by arranging an, “ahem” injury, he might just have set up such a scenario. He’s a sneaky guy, you know.

Where are the dead crows, BH? Hah! We demand an investigation!

Oh. My. Goodness. lol!

OA is off his meds again!
You’re not a crow hunting actor from Chicago are you? :)

Here comes my admission of guilt:

Actually, to be honest, you almost nailed it. Well, the skunked part anyway. This hunt was a failure. I shot 2 crows in the first 10 minutes then it became very apparent that I was set up in the wrong spot. Rather than spin my wheels in a losing fight, I packed up and scouted a bit. The next days hunt went much better, not perfect, but much better.

BH,

They don’t call it Saw Grass for nothing! Sorry for your pain and poor productivity.

This is crow country ! Gotta love crow humor. LOL. As a kid growing up in Indiana i got cut up with that stuff quite a few times. We called it cut grass. I don't know what was worse, that or the itch weed.

How about "wait a minute vines?

I'm guessing that wait a minute vines are when you're all tangled up while rabbit hunting & you tell your buddy to wait a minute while you get untangled.

We have a vine here in Oklahoma called Greenbriar. These thing's are lethal ! It's a vine covered with thorn's and is as tough as steel cable. It'll grow up to the top's of tree's & shade them out & kill em. I'd rather lay in a patch of poison ivy naked than try to make my way thru a greenbriar patch ! It'll rip you clothes to shred's & leave you cut up from head to toe.

I was clearing out a patch of it on the back of my property & my Massey Ferguson kept getting flat tires on the front from it so i filled them both full of slime. When they still went flat i took them to a tire shop to get tubes put in em, The tire guy was mad as hell when i picked them up. He had ran his hand on the inside of the tires before installing the tubes & the thorn's cut the heck out of his hand's. Then he had to find every thorn & pull em out. Had to end up putting slime in the tubes as well. Now it's 2-4-D & Roundup at high rates to deal with it and it'll still be hanging from the tree's dead and cut you up 3 years later !

An older guy i know shot a deer this year late evening & was trying to track it down in the dark & fell / tripped into a patch of it. He said he didn't think he was going to get out of it ! He gave up on finding the deer. I hope you don't have that stuff in Michigan. I wouldn't call it wait a minute vine, more like, let's get the heck out of here cause i aint going in there !!

Island Shooter · Guru

I hate that stuff, too! We also call it “Devil’s walking stick” for the way it can grow straight up.

Glad to see you have it also Demi. Misery loves company. I figured it could kill someone or something, it got that deer.

BH. made his blind of sawgrass. Look what these okies made their blind out of !

If the link doesn't work just google Oklahoma dove hunters arrested for pot blind.

Camo:

We have lots of thorny briar vines in MI also (often mixed with poison ivy). But not as vicious as those I was describing that I "found," usually at night, during Army Ranger training in Ft. Benning, GA. More than once, I stumbled in the dark reaching out for a tree to keep from falling down with all my gear, grabbing a sapling/treebranch to find it wrapped with @!#$%%^&*(#^ large thorny wait-a-minute vines. I can still feel it.

The pot blind was funny. "Far out, man."

Those are some strong vines out there Island Shooter!
