He doesn't have control of 20 Game Wardens to work the reservoirs. Heck game and fish will tell you if you call Jackson Sardis is a flood control reservoir. Therefore the do as much Law Enforcement vas the people demand!!!!!!! Years ago on Sardis they had sum hard working Game Wardens they all retired and or died about 15 years ago!!! How many days have you seen a game warden this year on the lake??? Enough said!!! I was fishing out of Coon Town landing yesterday in whites bottom area and had to hide from lead zooming thru the trees!!!!! Yes live fire right at us!!! Drunks ,Gun No Law I'm done!! And

my son and i were fishing on the sw side of thompson creek on his recent trip home and all of a sudden pistol fire that sounded extremely close starting going off on a regular basis. we could not see the shooter but they were very close. wish they could put a stop to that close to peeps fishing on a coe...

They shot for 45 minutes non stop yesterday!! I wear a .40 every where I go. I was out gunned by far!! If I go back I will carry one of my .223z and 8-12 magazines to equalize the stress!!!!!!!!! Be safe no Law Equals this kind of logic!!!!!

Thanks FER posting I'm Krazzzeee but HONEST!!!!!!!

Someone was blowing up Tannerite one day I was there west bank of Toby Tuby. I was at Holiday lodge boat ramp and it shook the ground jarred me all that way. I heard a lot of gun fire just before it blew.

And on that note, I saw on the news the other day some idiot using Tannerite to blow up an old lawn mower while his friends took a video. Got a great shot of him loosing his leg from debris flying back at him and he can be heard yelling I blew my leg off. People just do stupid unfortunate things for "fun" and in an instant change their lives forever.

Just jigged my last time. Got 1 catfish. With 2" of more rain coming Iam done. Going to get big boat ready for cranking. Caught 132 keepers last spring. 81 this spring. Not worth getting snake bit to get to em. Those fish will have no problem this year laying. Till next year!!

Hey man I had same thing happen to me over there that day. We got shot at 3 times I could hear the bullets and then it would hit the branches above me. That old boy was just trying to keep folks out his fishing hole. What he doesn't understand is that those bullets can hit the limbs and richochet and hit someone. I notified my panola county sherif and he is working with the Lafayette county department to straiten that deal out. I wouldn't quit doing what u like for a few dumb greedy guys out there. They will get what's coming to them
