OP is right about the weather and lack of public land being a major drawback.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I didn't realize Texans were so touchy about something as simple as public land. I'm going out to hunt squirrel in about 20k acres just down the road this weekend. I have over 100k acres of public land within maybe 15-20 minutes.......feels good man. How much does it cost to squirrel hunt down there? The whole concept of massive swaths of private land is hard to accept for me. You only have to go back a little while to see that it is basically stolen by one form of corruption or another. |

NY does a lot of things wrong, but thankfully they didn't fuck up public land and hunting (yet). It has a long history here, and they do the best they can managing it all. By proportion we have the most public land this side of the Mississippi River, and way more than TX, and I'm thankful that it persists. The history in the Adirondacks is an interesting one, and most of the stories are from when it was pure unclaimed wilderness. |

It’s funny, for a forum that runs around calling everything socialism even when it isn’t, yet advocates for Socialism when it comes to hunting land. |

Was it also wrongfully obtained at some point? We can take that argument all the way back to Africa when humans first left. The point is, that the state is steward of public land....land that is for everyone to use. It's just another public service, like road. It's a good thing, because otherwise any type of outdoor recreation becomes a pay to play game. If you can't see why that's a bad thing, then you're better off in a state like that. |

That was my point, the other poster was the one who posited the logic in the first place. I was pointing out its contradiction. That argument chain that you’re using is the exact same one that the argument of why everything should be socialized stems from. Their critique of capitalism is that it is pay to play, that resources are accumulating in an unfair way that allows those individuals to exert undue force to control markets and resources. So congrats, you are an actual Socialist (not one that uniformed and room temp IQ conservatives think is socialism). |

Texas being great is going to be location-dependent. I've been in the DFW area all my life, so...
Too many people Turning blue regardless of what anyone says Too hot Whataburger's overrated Too many people Not enough seasons Too many people Gun ranges either suck or are 870 miles away Very little public land for recreation Whataburger sucks Too many people Went to NoDak a couple weeks ago driving through OK, KS, NE, SD, ND, and MT. Crossed the Red River coming home and felt the life getting sucked out of me negotiating traffic. Like a fucking switch was flipped. That being said, the 12 Californians who moved somewhere other than Texas criticizing Texas and Texans amuse me. |

It does have decent gun laws but it really isn't that unique compared to the other half of the country that has constitutional carry and decent gun laws as well.
I guess some of it comes down to personal preference personally I would find Texas one of the absolute worst states. I like mountains not flatland and there's almost no public land. Huge drawback if you like the outdoors. I know there is a few small mountains in west Texas but not much. |

Every argument you’re making could be applied to capitalism. |

Their critique of capitalism is that it is pay to play, that resources are accumulating in an unfair way that allows those individuals to exert undue force to control markets and resources. So congrats, you are an actual Socialist (not one that uniformed and room temp IQ conservatives think is socialism). If you use roads and fire service, you're a socialist too.....congratulations.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: I didn't realize Texans were so touchy about something as simple as public land. I'm going out to hunt squirrel in about 20k acres just down the road this weekend. I have over 100k acres of public land within maybe 15-20 minutes.......feels good man. How much does it cost to squirrel hunt down there? The whole concept of massive swaths of private land is hard to accept for me. You only have to go back a little while to see that it is basically stolen by one form of corruption or another. And the public land was rightfully gained? That is the point, it is public, it is everyone’s. Sometimes the government mismanages it but that is better than some crooked judge awarding thousands of acres to the guy that paid him the bigger bribe 150 years ago. So it’s okay if it was wrongfully gained so long as everyone has equal access to it? So the property is owned by the common, and controlled by the government? Society as a whole owns the land? It’s funny, for a forum that runs around calling everything socialism even when it isn’t, yet advocates for Socialism when it comes to hunting land. Where did your land originate? Was it also wrongfully obtained at some point? We can take that argument all the way back to Africa when humans first left. The point is, that the state is steward of public land....land that is for everyone to use. It's just another public service, like road. It's a good thing, because otherwise any type of outdoor recreation becomes a pay to play game. If you can't see why that's a bad thing, then you're better off in a state like that. That was my point, the other poster was the one who posited the logic in the first place. I was pointing out its contradiction.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Public land sucks too since it too locks it away. In FL, there is a state program where the state and municipalities purchase private land for conservation. The thing is that land is never opened to hunting, shooting, fishing, etc... it is simply purchased by the government and a pretty sign saying "Forever Florida" is placed on it. The people don't get to do much except maybe walk their dog on a leash. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: I didn't realize Texans were so touchy about something as simple as public land. I'm going out to hunt squirrel in about 20k acres just down the road this weekend. I have over 100k acres of public land within maybe 15-20 minutes.......feels good man.

It's funny, for a forum that runs around calling everything socialism even when it isn't, yet advocates for Socialism when it comes to hunting land. Since it is mostly all wrongfully gained it is far better that it is public than locked away. It has nothing to do with socialism. Socialism is an economic model where the public owns the means of production, such as factories and oil refineries. Empty land in a state of nature is not a means of production. Yeah, that’s a problem too. There should be minimal restrictions on public land. |

Either way, we all can enjoy the public lands for dammed near anything we want to do. Where do you go shooting and wheeling and camping and hunting? I go about 20 miles from my house to the mountains where I have thousands of acres where I can do all of those things and more without asking permission or spending money on anything more that what I need to get out there and survive. Illegal to spotlight and bait here. We call it hunting, not sitting in a box over a feeder waiting for something to wander by. |

Texas gun laws have greatly improved in my lifetime. Bush signed concealed carry for Texas in the mid 90’s but I had already been carrying in PA for a few years. I never carried in NY because it is such a pain. |

Have you even read Marx or Engels? Obamacare isn’t a factory either, but is considered socialized health care… why is that? |
