That being said, that does not mean you could not wait in the bushes for them to do the same thing and take a buddy with you. When they start trashing your boat again you could take pics of them or try to make an arrest or at least get their boat numbers.
Do you fellas that hunt Sabine see the same kinds stuff happening there? I have never heard much happening at Sabine. Maybe because there is usually more open water there is not as much competion.
Here is another idea. Go hunt the same spot but take a friend. Have one guy go to the hole and shine off anyone that is attempting to get too close. Have the second guy wait at the boat till shooting time starts and then have him wade on in for the hunt. He may miss a little shooting time, but at least he can protect the boat. What a shame you even have to deal with this.
Sorry this happened to you.
Raymond, good on you for offering to take this fellow and his son out.

We started off with using the trolling motor to get back. When it got week we paddled. I hunted Sabine up until last year. I moved to Lacassine and it was even worse of a trip than before having to get up at 2am to get to our spot. I not had a bad trip to Sabine. The ducks are there people just don't scout well enough. My friends and I knew the birds so well we could set up and kill our limits by how the weather acted. Not a reat abundance of Mallards but everything else was great. The water levels does limit you but still huntable. Do you hunt the Kinder area? I grew up there.
