    I just wanna say thanks to all the people on here everybody seems like great guys. I love how everyone is always positive an encouraging. I even have close friends that I don't even like to talk about hunting with because in their eyes it's always a competition or something and seems they always talk down on your ways or the deer you shoot. I have yet to see a negative post on here so once again thanks too all of u guys for your input on things and encouragement and good luck out their!

    As the designated "most useless member of this forum" I feel like I need to throw a wet blanket on this forum love fest. I like the forum too and agree with every post made so far but I have a reputation to uphold after all.

    It's a public forum, there are jerks and some good members who can be jerks sometimes but it's a very good forum overall and way better than the average hunting forum. The episodes are also very good. If not for members like me, it would probably be perfect.

    I think the problem on a lot of forums and I have not seen it on this one is CLIQUES or groups of guys who are all Internet buds and love to attack a poster in mass if they don't agree with them..

    That exists on every forum and this one isn't a complete exception but it is far less of a problem here than most any other forum I've been a part of. It's kind of human nature I think so some is expected. It's generally only apparent with members who either really deserve it or with someone who's extremely opinionated and outspoken like myself. Someone feels like they got their cheerios peed in and it hits the fan, lol. It's generally short lived and a pretty rare occurrence on this forum though.

    the other thing is Internet anonymity, folks will say stuff online they wouldn't say to your face..

    I like to call them........

    I live by the saying "there's more than one way to skin a cat", I have a lot of opinions but I'm not apposed to others opinions. If something works for me, I will normally stick to MY WAY until it no longer works or I find a easier path to success. If I continue to fail I will take others opinions and advice into consideration. What I like about this forum in the short time I've been here is most the members seem to be open to giving advice and sharing their opinions with out having those persistent trolls that lurk the forums and start crap any chance they get. Maybe I haven't partaken in the right thread about the right/wrong subject where someones *** gets chapped.

    So far this forum has been a healthy environment and I have enjoyed it. But like Coveymaster pointed out, it's probably only a matter of time before every ones Holiday cheer wears off and there are disagreements.

    You were "designated" as the most useless member of this forum by ONE member. I would take what was said with a grain of salt... I'm sure there are a lot of members who have benefited from your posts.

    I really haven't been to other hunting forums... But I can't argue with the members here. So many members with years and years of experience.
