[QUOTE="102, post: 5273952, member: 1462"] Ski wrote' The problem with those who consider themselves "experts" at anything is that closing the mind accompanies the title. It's possible to have two or more true experts completely disagree on a topic, and all be 100% correct given their unique experiences. And rather than learn from one another in a positive exchange of knowledge that would undoubtedly benefit everybody throughout the periphery, they instead argue in order to retain their place or climb in the hierarchy. Once an expert becomes defensive and sinks to discrediting opposing views in order support their own, I no longer consider them a valid source. They're compromised. As a dumb dum that is the only way I've found to screen the info from all the "experts". That my friend...IS SPOT ON! Every season this "expert" gets a surprise in my area of "expertise". Read the story I posted about a month ago where my target buck "died" and laid there (32 yards away) in front of me stone still. While I texted and talked to my friends. Only to rise up about 13 minutes later and hobble off...(I followed up with a kill shot, after RAPIDLY descending the tree) I have been blessed with being around really good hunters over the past 4 decades. I've learned a lot. The best "EXPERTS" that I've met over the years knew their stuff. But the best ones listened. And were always LEARNING. Wannabe "experts" don't listen. They think they already know! Now it's my turn to help. Just not sure how. [/QUOTE]
