Goodrich Texas disaster...

[armedoldhippy]

a deer hunter doing some pre-season scouting in Texas really fucked up Christmas for some folks yesterday. MSN is reporting that the unidentified person reported finding pot growing in a remote area outside of Goodrich that had several fields growing with an estimated 100,000 plants worth (the usual over-estimated) $175 million dollars... dammit!

none ! 50 years for having a joint !

When I lived near Dallas, every year about this time the news would be plastered with bust of large grows with ungodly plant numbers....needless to say the black choppers were filling the skies.

the hunter?

 

[stoned-trout]

as a hunter I have found countless grows....I admire em and back out slowly and carefully....

 

[Stoner4Life]

yeah, any one of us would do the same, leave the area carefully.

but a straight laced hunter? first he has the right or privilege of hunting there, secondly he's probably thinking of the danger that it poses to the next person(s) who stumble upon the grow and growers.


the phrase 'don't put all your eggs in one basket' comes to mind, of course they could have several plots like that, but even one being discovered is sure to bring intense heat as mentioned above.

Never understood the pleasure in killing things, or why it's called a sport. High powered rifles against defenseless, unknowing animals. How is that "sporting"? I like when the hunters accidentally shoot one another.

hunting is a way of life in Texas....and most if not all of the bible belt go figure I've always wondered why those ranchers in Texas with thousands of connected acres never got to cash croppin in some of those small towns they grew up with the marshall theres a 2-3 more deputys that most likely they grew up with no helicopters like in the city.

I have hunted my entire life, from age 6 on up. there has never been "pleasure in killing" as you put it, to me. the way I see it, if you are going to eat meat, have the integrity to do your own killing instead of paying someone else to do it for you. defenseless? if you mean, can they kill us? it has happened. (obviously, we aint talking bunnies & squirrels, LOL!) I quit hunting with a rifle years ago & went to an English-style longbow that the archers in the middle ages would approve of. I also build my own arrows & knap my own stone points like the paleo peoples did. the challenge of even getting close enough that you might get a shot is incredible when you consider how superior their hearing/eyesight/reflexes/sense of smell are. if wild turkeys had a sense of smell you would have to shoot them out of their roost trees at night as they slept in order to eat one...

More and more mega crops are being grown, and some say, cartels have moved north of the border. It was massive (and greedy), hence a blaring light finding it, first from the hunter, then o'erhead in a chopper.

 

[Stoner4Life]

haven't done much hunting lately myself (plinked a few rounds tonight though), but I had to consider the hunter's point of view first, again if he had the right or privilege (permission) to be there himself.

so if this was cartel weed how far would the growers be willing to go to protect it? the closer it gets to harvest the more guarded and active these huge grows must get. and 100K plants? that area doesn't look so remote, that crop was eventually gonna be spotted. every podunk town from coast to coast has some sort of municipal airfield or airport.

Cartel grows on the west coast typically have very few people tending them. I don't recall ever reading about one that big, but they found one a few weeks ago with 30,000+ plants. No arrests. Fuck those assholes - it's pretty common practice for the cartels to force the braceros into tending the fields by threatening their sister, mothers, or grandmothers.

i think everyone should have to hunt and kill their food atleast once or be forced to go vegan lol.instead of letting someone else do the dirty work..then you have more respect and understanding for the way things are.. ...I specialize in archery as guns are too easy .. but I have used em many times.. but very seldom does an arrow drop a kill on the spot a gun can achieve this easily so less pain for the animal...hunting a lot of my food atleast I know my animal was free living natural and eatin healthy...even with a gun tracking an shooting an animal can be challenging at times...theres an estimated 30 million deer in the usa....yeehaw.... I am going pig hunting soon here....mmmmmmmmmmmmmm... what I don't like is self righteous peeps who couldn't prob kill and process their own kill passing judgement ...yall would starve if the supermarket closed

The issue that the person who found the plants was a hunter is moot.
What if it was a bird watcher or a berry picker who found the grow? Would anyone here be questioning the discoverer's motive for being in their woods or denigrate the activity that brought them there?
Grow weed on another's property and you accept the risk of having it found and stolen or destroyed.
