[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5031522, member: 1409"] Speaking of duck blind burning, I'm not so sure it's relatively that much worse at Reelfoot than anywhere else, if you consider the number of blinds, the number of people, and the amount of actual duck hunting that actually occurs there. In terms of [U][B]public[/B][/U] duck hunting, there may be more occurring at Reelfoot than in the entire rest of Tennessee combined? Below from another related thread . . . . . . Ruger, I totally agree. [U]Many of the conflicts we're seeing on [B]public[/B] hunting areas [B]statewide[/B], and they're happening with all types of hunting, seem to be increasing in frequency[/U]. These conflicts are not unique to Reelfoot. You will see them with deer hunters at LBL and other public areas, you will see them with turkey hunters (maybe worse than duck hunters) on every public parcel statewide. Most of these conflicts begin with some involved either lacking respect for other hunters sharing the area, or inexperience on behalf of one or more parties, or both. It typically takes two to tango. That said,[B] [/B][U][B]and not to diminish this tragedy at Reelfoot[/B][/U], it remains relatively rare that anyone is killed while participating in any type of hunting in Tennessee. You are more likely to be killed as a victim of road rage while driving to your hunting area. [/QUOTE]
