Charleston MS

[redmondandmelvin]

Was wondering if any of yall that are local are seeing any birds in the Charleston area. I lease a small hole over there and cant decide if the drive will be worth it to hunt this weekend. Anyone got any honest reports they are willing to share in the general area?

Not really sure what the purpose of this site is (pretty useless). If you can't get useful info from one another. It would be different if it was public land, that I can understand, but private what's the big deal? You locals are so scared that us out of town guys are going to ruin it for you. I am eager to come kill all your ducks in the coming weeks, so you dont have any to hunt. You have to to be kidding me. If anyone in the area has a lease and wants to PM me I will be happy to share some reports through out the season, as I am often at the camp every weekend. You can have your public BS, been there and done that, its cause of some a-h#$es like you I dont hunt it, you are so much more entitled than myself. I have half a mind to post all my gps coordinates just to spite some of you jack arses.

"golly gee whiz, you fellas are just mean....won't tell if the ducks are flying so i won't waste my gas..."

[duckkiller]

maybew we micah should start charging a yearly fee, that would deter some of these folks

I got on this one late, but let me just say: If it ain't worth the drive for going hunting to you if there are not going to be many ducks, you MIGHT wanna take up golf.

If this website is worthless to you because it does not help you do internet scouting, WTF are you doing here eating up bandwidth?

There are at least a dozen folks on this board I can name off the top of my head that live, hunt, have camps in or shack up with waitresses from the 3-Way in the "greater Charleton metroplex." Not including 2 guide services on this board from Charelston. If'n you spend some time here, wthout a major 'tude, it will get to be really obvious as to who is who. Then you can take it to PM or phone call. Its amazing how well that sort of thing works.
