Okay guys and gals,
Lets take a look a what season it is? It's sure as heck not hunting season on each other... The topics on this site are for comments not attacks on one another. Please for the sake of hunters stay united as hunters regardless of how you feel about a topic or subject. We all need to take a breath and understand we are not going to agree on everything that's for sure. But we need to agree to disagree in a civil matter. Lets be thankful we are all hunters regardless how we hunt....To be honest we all want whats best to serve our needs as hunters...Sometimes its good to look at it from the other side too...

Double D- I am not sure you are on the right track. This has always been a site for disscusion and differing opinions. Sometimes we don't keep it quite as civil as we should but that is because we can't see each other. Sometimes someone gets a time out. If we were sitting around a fireplace, no problem. But there is nothing wrong with dissagreeing.
He11, nobody agrees with me and I don't get upset. Disscusion is healthy. It is a good thing. We do have to work on being civil but right now I am seriously pissed at BGG and BSK. They haven't posted in two days and I have had to keep things stirred up on my own.
It is not hunters hunting hunters. It is called boredom. When you have people like us, people with hard opinions, you are going to get fiesty. We all know it just us talking, no hard feelings. Now sure, every now and then you get a cloaca. Usually they get bounced pretty quick. If you can't play with others, you get thrown out of the sandbox. But I don't think any of us regulars attack anybody else. We been doing it this way a long time.
I have been blasted as much as anybody on this site and there is not a single person I would not sit down next to and talk.
Well...maybe one. But he is gone.

Please for the sake of hunters stay united as hunters regardless of how you feel about a topic or subject.
I have a different take on the topic Double-D-Team. I will support other hunters, even using practices I don't--for any number of reasons--as long as those practices are not damaging the image of hunting. And let's be honest, the future of deer hunting will be STRONGLY influenced by image over fact. We have few opportunities to educate the non-hunting public about the facts, but by our actions and support of different hunting measures we absolutely influence image and opinion.
And make no mistake, there are practices that the non-hunting public will NEVER support, and are in fact vehemently opposed to, right or wrong. As huntwriter wrote in another thread, survey after survey of non-hunters will find they generally support the idea of hunting as a population control method, especially those suburbanites that deal with car-deer collisions and damage to their shrubery and flowers from excessive deer densities. In addition, most non-hunters will buy into the idea that hunting teaches important life-skills through the woodsmanship skills required to be a successful deer hunter. Due to our past history, Americans still value the idea of woodsmanship skills. Sone non-hunters also understand that hunting can teach lessons in ethical behavior and sportmanship.
However, non-hunters have VERY negative opions--right or wrong--about hunting styles/behavior they consider "unfair" or improperly focused. Two thing non-hunters have very negative opinions of are "trophy hunting" and baiting. Again, the true facts about both of these practices is unimportant. Non-hunters will never see or hear them. Image is virtually everything and both of these practices are extremely damaging to the image of hunting.
I will not support either of these practices and I will argue as strongly as possible against them. If I could wipe these concepts from the lexicon of hunters, I would do so. If I come across as hard on those who promote these ideas, I mean to be. When we deer hunters are a tiny minority of the population, and the future of our sport rests in the hands of those who judge us on our image, I'm going to work diligently to protect and improve that image. If that means hurting some hunters feelings, or even verbally running them out of town on a rail, so be it. The future of hunting for all of us is more important than the personal desires of a few, ESPECIALLY when those desires are highly dubious both biologically and ethically.

It is human nature to agree to disagree. It just in our nature. Mosty we are to stuborn to admit we are wrong and/or our ideas are not correct to suite each other. OPINIONS based on what we beleive are truths. Just one more opinion. I wish I could write and say what I feel and make sence. I don't have that nack!!!!

No.... No one scolded you they just stated their views and opinions. Worked Beautiful everyone has a opinion and that a good thing. Diverseity is the spice of life. That is what makes a place like this so sound and good. We all feed off of the thing other say and beleive. We ask question, see statements and we think about what is said and talked about. Another opinion?

Kind of fun to disagree. I'm not one of those that has to have everyone agree with me...that would be dangerous. I've been wrong more than right most probably, but it's still fun!

No way you were scolded. You are a very valued member of this family. I just felt you were looking at it from the wrong angle. We are kinda like the Waltons, we argue but at night we put it aside.
At least I do.
Everyone is free to express their opinion and everyone is free to dissagree with that opinion.
And Boy! do we ever.

I used to read all the bad thing people said about bowriter and just laugh up a storm. Knowing he was just having fun. Several years ago this place was a hot bed of activity. Lots of yelling and cussing and nashing of teeth

Some of the old timers on here realize I start stuff just to get a laugh. Some of the new ones think I am serious. So allow me, if you will, to tell a maybe not so short story. But it is a true story and please excuse the typos, I'm a tad shakey today.
Many, many years ago their was a girl in Austin, Texas of whom I thought quite lot. Apparently she felt the same about me because she suggested several time we get married, settle down and have kids.
That I couldn't do. We were way too young. And she said one night, as I was about to leave for a rodeo, "You are just two tailights going down the road. You are always leaving. So this time just stay gone." I never forgot that phrase-two tailights going down the road
And I did. I stayed gone and the years of cheap motels and dusty arenas rolled by. Then came college. And a new girl I thought a lot of and still do
I was married with a young son. Married to a good woman, still is today. I have not seen that son in almost 40 years. I was just two taillights going down the road.
Then I met Jeanne. We have been together for 35 years and have two grown children and one grandchild (hopefully one on the way). I spent the entire time those two kids grew up hunting deer in one form or another. Just two tailights going down the road. Now it is too late.
Folks this hunting deal is just recreation. Don't let it take over your life. Don't look back and say, "I should have been at that birthday party." Don't be so serious about it. Kick back and relax. It is just hunting.
Don't be those tailights going down the road.
And that's all I got to say about that. Now maybe you understand why I poke fun at people and make people mad It'sust hunting. Jeff Coggins once said, "Get real. This isn't a way of life. It is just hunting."

Double D-got no problem with you at all. I'm just pointing out we take this crap too seriously. There are far more important things in life. I have made a living, a good living in this industry for many years. And I missed the most important things.
They were right in my own backyard.
A few weeks ago, an old friend asked me if I was a candidate for the Hall of Fame. He11, I don't care about any hall of fame. I'm in one and it doesn't mean a thing to me. I want to sit in my living room with a grandbaby in my lap and tell stories.
All I'm saying is just don't get obssesed with the deer hunting thing.

You know, thinking back, I can't think of a single butthole on this forum. But I'll give it some more thought. I could be wrong. If you have a problem or a bone to pick with someone, take it to PM or email.
It really is that simple.

I couldn't agree more. My "Ignore User" list grows longer every day. Sure makes the experience here more pleasant.

If you find someone's posts always get on your nerves and would like to ignore them click on thier name, then click on thier profile, you will see a button "Ignore This User" Click on it and thier posts will show up as "You Are Ignoring This User".It can make the site much friendlier .
