Good to read and I’m glad your chuckling about it.
Whole lot better than some who come crying poor me.

Was the mad girlfriend hot?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Maybe ya coulda texted the girlfriend that ya had a $254 suite.

Not hot enough to put up with her level of crazy. There is a bar graph somewhere that shows a correlation between hotness and crazy. Her level of hotness did not justify her level of crazy

Besides the fact I am about to be a married man, my number was blocked!

I would have talked to a warden about it. But, to be clear, I'm not criticizing you for how you handled it.

Seems like it would be an easy sting to set up...even if it had to wait until next year.

I just absolutely hate the "guides" behavior and I have no sympathy for people who so recklessly break game laws.

HA! Got ya.
Congrats on the upcoming nuptials!

I know a guy about to go on a guided trip, I’ll ask how theirs went. Never taken a guided duck hunt, but I haven’t heard a good review yet from those that have.
I thought I’d risked it all on my Gould’s trip to Mexico, but that was an awesome trip that I had saved a ton of money for and tipped the guide, cooks, butler, and cleaning lady and sons (the guides wife and kids) all VERY well.
Even in the middle of the Sierra Madres with no electricity other than a generator, it was an awesome hunt and stay. I went expecting to lose weight and gained. The food was plentiful and outstanding.

I Agree

now the story comes out.

So is the Florida game and fish Department have recovery in the tickets they issue ?

You an Bernie have a heck of a time with “guides”
I’m curious how many horror stories their are about guided trips

This is only the second ever guided hunt I have been on, first time I’ve had a problem. Have seen many horror stories though


Are you asking if they take your birds if they write you a ticket? The answer in this case is yes. Those birds are the evidence in court. The 5 clients that got tickets last season all had their birds seized

Are you sure this was FL and not East Texas because this sounds like a Savell guide service lol

... yeah... I thought the guy was going above and to satisfy his customers...probably getting tired of pompous ingrates like Smiley here lol

You call it above and beyond, I call it a felony….Lol

.... how much money you spend on this nonsense Smiley ?.....I might can put you on duck you ain’t shot yet for the right price .. send me a picture of what it looks like lol

That Matrix was very Funny^^^

Sounds like the warden was wise to this guy just needing to catch him in the act. Good thing you declined the pot shot as you probably had an audience.

I do believe you have grounds for full refund and expenses.

Hopefully you get your duck someday! At least for now you have a good story to tell, and it might be a better memory than when you actually kill your duck.
Isn’t there some places in Texas that they target the Fulverous?
