Give Your Head a Shake...

Last night we received over 30 mm of rain and in the morning I come across this guys truck buried in this field with his trailer. How does the thought of driving into the field even cross your mind in conditions like these? This action will most likely lead to no one ever being able to hunt there again and that simply pisses me off! To all those into or getting into field hunting remember that it is a privilege to hunt a farmers property and should treat it with the utmost respect. This an example of what NOT to do!
If this is your rig in the photo give your head a shake!

Thaaaaat's where I left my truck and trailer. :silly::D

Pretty brutal. Even if he didn't get stuck there would be one heck of a mess left being. That property owner is going to be EXTREMELY pissed if he does no till.

sometimes common sense does'nt seem common at all.

Wow just wow. At what point do you rethink your actions. Right at the start you can see where he started to dig in. At what point do you say "hey going into a valley its going to get worst maybe I should stop". Forget about disrespectimg the property owner but wouldn't you want to protect your own stuff? Guess he must be driving the wife's truck.

LOL I hope she drives a prius!!

Marco - some people have nothing between their ears.

That sucks bud. Talk to the farmer and assure him that this person is a bonehead and that you know better.

I hope he has to get it towed out with a $400/hr. wrecker and the farmer charges him for all the damage.....plus a 20% PO fee. Because it was willful,stupid deliberate act,his insurance company will just laugh at him. CHA-CHING!!

Hey instead of taking pictures, i coulda used a push, ya know. ;)

Curse of the bigfoots. Need a trailer to drag em around. Must have been a pile if birds in there though to attempt that. I hunt at a few farms where the farmer doesn't care about ruts, they say itll be gone after they plough it

One of my farms same thing....he even said hed come pull us out it needed...we opted to unload trailers at road and just go in on highh ground with a single truck it worked out perfect lots of birds.....

Maybe it's his property :)

Glad to see we weren't the only ones that got soaked, 45mm... river spilled over and up 6 feet, our blind was flooded.

well agreed that he shouldve had more respect for the farmers property, and not driven on the field... but if the fields down there are anything like they are up here this year, a couple extra truck ruts arent gonna hurt anything... we put more ruts and barried more tractors up here this year then in recent memories... ever here that song truck got stuck... well that was chisholm/bonfield this year... 100's of acres of hay that still hasnt even bin cut, because fields are too soft...

Hehehehe that's funny

A lot of the time these freshly harvested wheat fields have been under seeded with Hay. Ruts and or drifts will screw it up.

That's all good that the farmer wants the geese gone and will come and pull you out. But I would be concerned about breaking my own equipment and needing to replace it.

Whether the farmer cares or not could this guy not tell that he wasn't going to make it in and out of that field without getting stuck? He might have Big Foots in the trailer but he's not driving "Big Foot". There isn't a harvested field in my area that I would attempt to drive in right now with all the rain we've had.

I just really like how he aimed for the low point instead of staying to the left.

Well....stuff happens... lets hope it all ended well for all involved...

Before I started hunting (I was a late bloomer) I used to let a couple of guys geese hunt on our farm. The first year was great no problems, they even brought me a bottle of whiskey as a "thank you". The following year they came to ask for permission and I granted it and during that conversation I told them the fields were soft so make sure to wear your rubbers. Well I guess that comment fell on deaf ears because when they came for opener a few days later they proceeded to drive right to the middle of our rear pasture...burying the truck to the axles! They paid one of the neighbours to pull them out with a tractor causing even more damage. My son came home from school to witness the tail end of this gong show and they told him they would make sure they fixed the damages. I never heard from or seen them again. Needless to say I never allowed another person to hunt the farm and even now that I'm a hunter I'm very cautious of who I allow to hunt with us.

Come on guys, give him a break! It's obvious that he was fine for the first part of the trip in. He just hit a bad spot going to slow. I'm sure he learned his lesson and will get more speed going in next time.

Bwahahahahah!

HAHAHA...GMC
