QDMA sucks
No such thing as soil vs big racked bucks
I only shoot for meat
I only shoot for trophies
Baiting is for lazy hunters
Baiting gives me a chance in an area where deer population is low
Mitch Rompola is a farce
M.R. is the ultimate hunter

Let's see, what else....maybe we just need an agenda? I'm in favor of the serious forum for no other reason than Bowriter isn't!

Just saying that's how dead we are here FH...

Its always cyclic, ups and downs. I will agree however that nobody cares to know how many tame tukeys are in your yard on the serious DEER forum, or why you chose your screen name, etc.

Since I started the screen name thread, I'll explain why I did and why I think it is relevant to this forum.

I'm amazed from time to time at the lack of civility and manners that I see here. I'm sure I'm guilty, but I do try to stay positive.

I know that in face-to-face situatios, I've never spoken to anyone or been spoken to by anyone in the way that I see here sometimes. I think it's kinda like when I scream something ugly at another driver who just cut me off. Yes I'm mad, but I would certainly express that anger in a more civil manner if I was face to face. It's all too easy to scream at a nameless, faceless car.

I think the situation is sorta similar here. We're talking to a bunch of nameless, faceless screen names and it's easy to forget the rules of polite society in that situation. I was hoping that by exposing a little bit of the personality behind that anonymous screen name, that we (myself certainly included) might get a little better aquainted.

And since that thread has been viewed 600 and something times so far, I think it is a little bit of an overstatement to say that nobody cares.

Just my attempt at community-building.

I don't know that we need a serious forum. In fact, I have always wondered that. Why is it important to be serious? Life is too short to be serious all the time.

We have a QDM forum and a potitical forum and a cooking forum (best forum on the site) so why can't these serious threads be posted on the general forum and just do away with this one? Been over a year since anything new has been posted.

Evidently, you missed my novels.......

IMO, the Serious Forum is great for those of us that wish to actually discuss deer hunting on a deer hunting (tndeer.com) site. Most times, topics stay on the front page longer on the Serious Forum and there is "usually" far less attempts to anger people there than on the General......

IMO, the General Forum is more like the playground and the Serious Forum is more like the classroom......

Both forums have their place.......you just have to decide where you want to spend your time......and if you have anything POSITIVE to contribute.

Hey and everyone loves a good fart joke.....!!!!!!!

See a topic you are not interested in. Don't click on it. Dumb as I am, I learned how to do that. "How high should I hang my stand?" just walk on by. "One or two buck buck limit?" Just go on by. "Are Tiffanies real or bought?
