    Really there should only be one rule. DO NOT START ONE IF THE BUCK HAS NOT BEEN FOUND!!!

    But...maybe its just annoying because I never kill anything worth someone starting a teaser thread... :sad:

    Teaser threads ACTUALLY started with just a picture of a dead buck. No story or hunters name. You then had to guess based on how the location looks, trail cam pics, ect.

    We have gotten away from the original concept.

    I never saw that Caleb, I like it. The only problem I see with doing it that way now is so many trail cameras are used it might get easy to guess.

    Yes but then it only lasts 3-4 pages and the hunter can jump in and tell his story. Much more efficient then these 10 page "who the hell is it, i only know because im cool enough to get a text" BS.

    LOL.

    Thank you for bringing up that point Siman/OH! I got 2 BBD text today but do you see me making teaser threads? No. Let the person who shot the buck post it on this forum when he gets time.

    There are a lot of people who like the teaser threads.

    I guess the second rule for a teaser thread is if you do not like them and go on and complain about them why even look?

    I dot mind the teaser threads and don't blame the originator either. Give them a hard time sure, but I learned a couple bad hits, don't even tell anyone until you are certain it's down.

    What's disheartening is the anticipation of a deer being down only leading to a sorry couldn't find him post 3 days later if updated at all.

    Not a knock on anyone, but with the instantaneous communications of today it's a given its going to happen. I think it's a jinx so I don't do it until I've laid eyes on the prize anymore.

    It's not an idea guys...it's the way it USED to be. Then it turned into "I got a text".

    We need to get back to the old ways...

    Look at Siman lamenting the lost good old days. ;) (this strikes me as particularly funny since I'm pretty sure my first cellphone is older than him)
