EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

My phone was rattling off the countertop this morning...good stuff!   O0 That's what you get for hunting on my land without a permission slip.   ;D  LOL   

kp

The plot thickened after that KP!!!! :o

KP,


    It's official, there's something in the water over there that makes people crazy.   I am going to call Uglydog and see if they can make ME a kevlar vest to match my catch dogs...

The reader's digest version....

1 shotgun toting lady homeowner
1  handgun toting homeowner....
Hatfield and McCoy situation, that some poor ole hog doggers got caught in the middle of. :o Sitting in the park with a neighboring homeowner racking a pump shotgun yelling obscenities at us. After the sheriff's office had come and gone...we made another round, then headed to the trucks, only to discover
two slashed tires (valve stems slashed)

Man... y'all have some crazy people out there. You'd think hunting in an upscale neighborhood you wouldn't have these problems. I think i'll stick to the ghetto hogs. ;D

At the rate Lonnie was going last night, I bet the Constable's, the Sherriff's, the DA's and the HOA's phones are probably ringing off the wall this morning too! :o

 Sounds like a fun hunt. :-X       

Dang guys, that sounds like a heck of a situation to be in.  Glad you came home without any serious injuries.  I thought chasing around trashy dogs last night was a bad....coming back to slashed tires would take the cake.

Hey Mike, I told you you went to early. Better wait till them homeowners go to sleep next time. Sounds like the word is out to them homeowners. Them gun toting people must be from Ca. ;D  John

Haha holy crap that's crazy. Someone explain this story in greater detail. This is one you don't hear everyday!

John,

    I think you are correct about them Kalifornians, they are nuts. ;D  Crazy thing about it, is this transpired in the park/ nature preserve...not on someone's private property.  

Don't forget the high dollar new lookin wheel chair  ;D

AND what kind of sick human being could deface this clasic american beauty. ;D I guess they had to pick on the old one ha ha ...

i think ill stick to the country hogs   ;D

 thats crazy !!

I have had a gun on me a time or 3 and it always seemed to involve a woman  rolleyes ....BUT I usually had some ivolvment as well....this was a new one. The sound of a pump action in the dark w/ a pissed of accented voice can sure put the pucker on the ole hiney hole  rolleyes

I left pre tire slashing and I had seen enough for one night.  I still can't believe they did that to your truck last night Bryant, just aint right.  Craig, it will definitely make you appreciate living/hunting in the country where at least most people on the same page about things.  Last night was just a wierd night to say the least...
MG

Bryant,

     Your truck looked a lot better pulling in last night, than it did leaving...

You got that right...  It was pretty surreal

Ha Ha..... Good times, yall will be talking about that when you're old men ;D  I'd like to hear the whole story too!

I kinda like the way it sets w/ that bigger tire of yours on it  ;)

Thanks for the help y'all....I had a good time regardless of the situations we encoutered.


Matt, you sure it wasn't you mad at me caause of the nutz comment?   ;) :D

Yep, I bet we looked like real goof balls out there in the manicured park area hunkered down behind the wheelers! I just knew those two were about to have a shoot out. Talk about feuding neighbors, that was wild!

Cheers
M

Me and Diana were gigglin' purdy good over here this morning...that's what y'all get for not callin' me!   >:D

kp

Haha Bryant, I was showered and in bed by 12:15 which is still past my bed time.  It is pretty wierd to think that happened between me leaving and yall coming back to the trucks, pretty narrow time frame when you think about it.  Gonna have to plant game cams around the trucks when you park there from now on.  I am just glad they only got two, and not all four.....

So the neighbors were fueding amoungst themselves? None of it was directed at you? you just got caught in the middle?

AND you got your tires slashed (I have to assume by one of the aggressors) so did the cops not arrest them?

There has to be more to this. How about the Clift Notes version. We need enough info to pass the test..... Readers digest leaves out too many details :)

Steve

yeah....im nosy too

ok, ok....here is the story

We are hunting a "nature area" in a nice neighborhood in north Houston, this is Mike's place and he has the permission from the HOA, and prior to us heading out there, he contacted the local game warden and the constables office that patrols the neighborhood. Sometime a little after dark we are hunting the wooded area that borders an small lake and clearing. From the wooded area you can see the street. As we were nearing the edge of the wooded area/clearing we could see a vehicle at the street with a spotlight shining from the vehicle.  Thinking it was the GW or constable, we started heading their direction. The man from the vehicle approached us( he turned out to be a resident) and asked if we were having any luck catching the hogs..about that time, a lady who lived along the lake/clearing came out of her house with a flashlight yelling get the F*** out of here, get the F*** out of here repeatedly. The man told her that we were working for the HOA and that she needed to leave us alone and get back in her house...She went back in her house, then came right back out racking a shell in a pump shotgun, telling us to get the F*** out of here NOW!  The man then pulled out his handgun and racked one in the chamber, then got on the phone with the law.  After some time 5 squad cars showed up, questioned both parties, and we soon became aware that these two had been going at it for some time. No citations issued, and no shots fired.  The lady claimed she was scared, and that there had been looters there after Ike and she was home alone, etc, etc.... Eventually, we spoke with the lady, explained what we are doing there, and we got her phone number. Mike is gonna call her and let her know what nights we will be hunting, so she doesn't shoot us  :o  It all turned out OK thankfully.  Couple hours later, we hit the trucks to head home, and Underdogs truck has had two valve stems cut off.  This was better than a mile from the lake area. Probably some random do gooder, thinking if he strands us, we won't harm the hogs....or something silly like that.

Oh I guess chris and I responded at the same time. Sorry for the repitition.

Cheers

City hogs... a dangerous job, but someone's gotta do it! ;D

I really like the story.

Can I come next time and video?

Please?

Chris, I have your wheel let me know how to get it back to you. I got 2 new valve stems this afternoon.

All TDHA members can get a reward posted, up to $500.00, for the arrest and conviction of the person that damages your equipment while hunting.

Some body knows something.

Thanks Mr. Mason...

ga lee thats crazy ,, agree with noah thats a story that will be talked about for a while

Mr mason,

How would a person go about posting that reward if they were going to utilize it?

Cheers
M

Send a detail of what happen to a members equipment to TDHA and the board will deside on how much reward for the damages and approve it to be posted.
Then if some one truns in a person and that person is convicted the person that turned them in will get the reward.

Poat on the internet, posters, or any where to get the word out.
Can call or e-mail any tips.

All infromation on TDHA web site under court room on message board.

I'd have had a foxhole dug by the time it was all over.  that's some nerve racking stuff.

Darn Mike glad they didnt do that to my tires none of yalls would fit mine... ???..Those people are nutts

Dang Circle C!

Looks like you may need to hire a bodyguard if you continue hunting that place!

The only thing I usually run in to wile hunting City hogs is drunk teenagers, but non of them are toting guns and shouting obscenities at so far!  :o

I bet you haven't heard the last of that lady. Watch your back buddy!

Probably have heard the last of that lady. After speaking to her AND the other gun toting home owner, it seems that they have a long history of feuding. Not sure who is wrong or right in the whole situation, but we are positive that we just got caught up in the middle of their rift. They hate each other, she thought we were with her nemesis, so she drags out the gun thinking it was her against "us".

She is fine with what we are doing, but is just highly peeved at her neighbor. The same goes for him - he's equally fed up with her. It's a bad deal, but at least she knows now that we have no involvement.

I have no idea where the tire slashing came into the picture. The trucks were so far away, it certainly wasn't related. I'm with the guys on this one figuring it was some big boar sympathizer who wants the people and the wild hogs to live together in harmony. Just wait until the pigs get into their yard and they are having to fix flowerbeds and sod every day. They will change their mind.

Cheers
