    Amen ... I like running wide open through the slough into the woods on the right at the first bend. I was running full throttle through there one morning with 4 people in the boat, all of the sudden the woods lit up with flashlights and I about swamped my boat letting off of the throttle. There were 10 or 11 feds doing shell limit checks. They turned their lights on when I was about 15 yards away from them, scared the hell out of me.

    I got no use to go back to the Metro for a lot of reasons. Too many other places to hunt without all the damn hassle and rules.

    Never hunted the meto and have no desire to. If I want to hunt around that many people i'll just go sit in packs flats. I have a ton of fun hunting the other places that allow me to use my 50. Personally I think they should not have a HP restriction at all. If you wanna strap a 150 on a jon boat and run the timber, more power to ya. Survival of the fittest. If you are to much of a wimp to stay in front then wait and take off after all the others have left. If i don't feel safe driving a certain speed in a certain area, I have enough sense to slow my ass down. Leave it up to the operator. If they think they can hold it at 50mph in the trees, i'd love to watch!

    I was leading and took that right about 7-8 years ago. Antonio Jones that just won the Worlds was behind me trying to run with a GPS, tiller handle, and q beam. Didn't go real well. He washed out, over corrected, and hit that tree in the middle of the run. Turned the boat sideways and several boats piled into him. We were in Lester's hole for 30 minutes before another boat came by.
    Them that don't know him won't like him, and them that do sometimes won't know how to take him

    He ain't wrong, he's just different, and his pride won't let him do things to make you think he's right

    Lester's hole................... ?!?!?! You mean the one everyone calls Lester's hole or where he actually preferred to hunt (and we killed fuck out of em for years)???

    Antonio, while entertaining, ain't real smart..He will probably be a Gazillionaire soon, so WTF!!

    Just reading Lester's name makes me miss that ol man a ton more... Before the internet made instant access to places of value (before many here were born) we just did our thing and killed ducks... We never posted photos or told where ......


    I may never hunt Bayou Meto again... (and I really miss walking in there),, Back in the day, a man didn't need a boat to kill MALLARDS... a friend called me today crowing about the 4 Gadwall they killed in LV....

    Just damn.

    That's why you find a hole that is a good ways off the blue line!

    My old handheld GPS loses signal quite often in the timber , so I have spent a lot of time just riding around. There are some damn good spots out the way, no rushing required when there is water.

    In the old days i'd have love to been there when all the boys from sumter were guiding. Now from what i've heard from my buddies its full of dumbasses from SC. We rode by there 2 years ago on the day we were leaving and almost every other truck at lower was SC plates. My previous statement applies to all WMA's in AR. Run what you bring. I just don't have any desire to hunt in there the way it is now. Sounds like its about as bad as santee.

    Those Scumter guys were the end of it all. They are not to be celebrated. They ruined it for everyone...

    No bigger dumbasses ever hit the woods than those stupid motherfuckers.

    Last time I hunted there was in 1985. It was still a pretty peaceful place to hunt course that was before the internet got popular too. That '85 trip I hunted Meto 4 mornings and the most vehicles with trailers I saw at the ramp on any of those mornings was 6.

    The last 2 days were good days to be in the timber too cause the rice fields had frozen up that first night but the timber was open. Three of us flat smacked down some green in the woods those 2 days. From what I hear now, with those kind of "perfect conditions", there would be 70+ parties at the ramp.

    I haven't been back to the Meto since I started hearing horror stories about all the people, shell limits, etc. But those years up until 1985 were some good times. Blowing a "hand cut" Olt D2 Keyhole Cut-Down and pulling a group of 10 or 12 birds into the hole, only letting the hens back out, was one hell of an adrenaline rush and some great memories were made.
    The Elites don't fear the tall nails, government possesses both the will and the means to crush those folks. What the Elites do fear (or should fear) are the quiet men and women, with low profiles, hard hearts, long memories, and detailed target folders for action as they choose.
