Bump it again,
Was wondering about Glasscock today passed by it and saw a few trucks parked on the levee. Wondering are the roads through there horrible. There was an old Lexus SUV covered with mud. How much are the dues today? Also I remember Mr Warren Womack had some old stories about the island way back in the 70s would like to try and find them again. He use to have a diary of all the hunting he has done and it was several pages long but very good reading.

It used to take us 45 min from the gate to our camp when it was dry. Dad’s camp partner had two hunting cars made with vw motors and tractor tires to run when it was wet. Our 78 scout 2 was no match for that buckshot
The air strip was always in immaculate condition for JD’s late night arrivals.

Hunted there then also. Didn’t duck hunt them but used to sit in the stand and watch ducks flock into those flooded powerlines.

We drove in Ketchins truck in 3ft of water to get to a hole. Never seen mallards dropping in like that. Was a blast. My boss was Andy Speyer he owned cypress point Yamaha in Lafayette

There’s a photo at a Davis Island camp with a dozer connected to a tractor, connected to a deuce and a half, connected to a truck trying to get up the chute bank.

Underneath it reads….

The island is hell on men and equipment.

I’ve personally seen something very similar. I always wished I would have taken pictures but this was pre cell phone cameras and I think we were all scared shitless looking at a quarter million dollars in equipment sticking out of the mud.

Wow 45 minutes from the front to get to the camps in the back. That’s a ride. I noticed the road is pretty long from the levee on 15 to get to the camps in the back. I guess JD was the head man and he would fly in.

Nah Baw, them planes flying into Glascock were bringing packages not people.
JD had done time for murder or manslaughter, his side hustle was in acquisition and distribution. Not sure if any members ever used the strip, I never saw any planes tied down.
My money is on JD being DM

I don't know, he used to come to Lafayette with his buds to party with my boss, Andy, my boss was a great guy but was an alcoholic and just couldn't get sober, lost his buisness I think in 98, and put a gun to his head I think in 2007, Sad sad story

The landowner where I hunt now is a family friend that I've been hunting with on an off for the last 30 years, he also owns land in Deer Park we used to duck hunt on, west of old river next to Glascock as well as on Ashland Plantation. In the late 90s and early 2000s through his connections they let me hunt on Glascock a few times to go shoot some does only. It was like a zoo, some of the biggest bucks I've ever seen to date were on Glascock in the handful of hunts we made.

Couldn't tell you what its like today, but I haven't hunt a place that rivaled that since.

Sounds like you were there when my dad and great grandfather were there. They hunted there from the 60s till around the time JD got pushed out and the Ks took the reins. I’ve still got one of their old metal membership pins somewhere.

The stories about JD would make for an interesting movie or mini series

Called on him several times pre sell out and had a friend that lived on the other side of his fence. Idle hands can and will exacerbate mental illness as will piles of $$$.
