    You and others are rubbed the wrong way simply because you do not agree with my ways and thats it.

    If you look back I addressed the car comparison here:
    Do I feel bad...not entirely. Should I, probably, I mean going 5 over really isn't worth it anyways...guess I've been conditioned.

    Nope, ask Muzzy or some of the others that have disagreed with me. Not mad at all...if I let others not agreeing with me get to me so much I wouldn't have joined an online forum, got a job working with public, went to college, started a blog/site or done well pretty much anything in my life. Whatever reason you have to be so disgruntle/frustrated or whatever term you deem appropriate with me, I am sorry. Truly.

    rkloehn...seriously dude what did I do to get you so mad? I'm sorry but yeah right now I do feel I'm showing a level of respect and tactfulness you're lacking to do. Does that make me a better person, nope. I am just going to assume you're so frustrated or mad at the fact that some people have chosen to share their opinions here, which obviously some differ from yours and it's made you seemingly find it appropriate to come at me...no hard feelings at least on this end.

    Why not just set the alarm on your phone to vibrate at the proper time?

    Because its too easy and takes away the excuse for shooting outside of legal time......silly. That way, they would know they were breaking the law and ignorance is bliss.

    Poach away, but you wont be anywhere near any of the deer I hunt, if so, you will be breaking another law and you will be prosecuted on that one. Take it to the bank.

    Also, I am not the guy that says you cant shoot. That decision was made by your legislature a long time ago and is enforceable by the authorities. All I do is abide by it. Never said you have to......so shut yer mouth buddy. lol

    For what its worth, gun season here in Ohio technically ends at Sundown, which is 5:01 at this moment. You still have adequate and ethical shooting light untill at least 5:30, which is 1/2 an hour after sundown, or when normal archery season shooting light ends.

    I dont see very many people walking out of the woods before dusk during gun season.

    Just saying.

    Over the past 12 years on the place I hunt I have walked out of the woods at sundown time, 100 percent of.the time. That being said, I cant blame someone for hunting when they have shooting light and forgetting about their watch for a few minutes.

    I can..... but I apparently am some sort of bag .....


    The following is for the 75% that would shoot...

    So is killing a deer with no tag OK with some of you?

    Killing a deer and tagging it with someone else's tag?

    Using a rifle in a shotgun only?

    Using a gun during bow season?

    Using a crossbow where they are illegal?

    I would love it if you all would answer these questions...

    When you have a society that determines themselves what laws to follow and which ones to break, you are playing a dangerous game...

    And for the "Bible Believers" out there ... there should be no question on whether you would or wouldn't .... the Bible says DON'T!

    I answered yes to the poll, and since your wondering I would answer no to the rest of the rest of the questions your asking. And yea your absolutely right I'm picking and choosing what I choose to follow but ultimately that's my choice and I accept any consequences that come from that decision. But I also don't hold game laws in higher regard than any other laws. Not to kick a dead horse but since it's been brought up repeatedly if you or anyone else said they speed or don't wear seatbelt while driving I wouldn't automatically accuse that person of raping or killing someone jus because they would break one law but find another to be wrong. It all comes down to that persons choice and to look down on that person because theirs are different than mine I think is kinda ridiculous. And think I've said it on her before unless you can honestly say that you never break any type of law no matter what it is and to look down on someone for them choosing to follow some laws and not others when it comes to hunting is pretty hypocritical.

    Now I would love to here people's response to that, I'm sure I can guess it'll be something like "oh be proud of your poached deer, or I hope you get caught."

    You need to work on your delivery, or you won't last long around here.
