Skybusters...

[Rick]

It's been brought to my attention by all of the parties involved that all of the other parties are skybusters.

Have to ask the marsh pope about at what range it actually becomes sky bustage.

[simplepeddler]

Pretty much everyone one not hunting with me, or taking me hunting, or guiding me hunting.......are indeed bustages

Of course it's everyone but me and thee. (And thee's been known to stretch a barrel when not in the company of my good judgement.)

Posted this after the umpteenth call from a rice renter complaining about neighbors who also rent from us and who also regularly complain about he and each other, as if I could referee such a thing beyond passing along that they're being bitched about, too. Puts me in mind of an Eastern Shore guide I hunted with in the early '80s who'd never call a shot he wasn't confident we'd make (or on more geese than he was confident we'd kill), and if his neighbors couldn't resist stupid shots that only served to educate game in his area, they enjoyed the pleasure of, shall we say, "his council".

Almost forgot...all of my informants got screwed over because the birds don't want to pass over their blinds but would rather pass somewhere in between, instead. Can't imagine why.
