    Well, for me that's what I see it as, just a way to get attention. I just feel like a lot of young people/beginners never get a chance to learn what hunting is really about or how to even be respectful of the animals they hunt. They see televised/internet crap and take that as the gospel. I feel like a grumpy old man thinking about things like this and getting agitated. I probably should've been born 70 years ago.

    I understand completely, kids do not respect their elders anymore. I say this as I turn 50 and my elders are dropping and I miss being able to hear their stories. This is in business and hunting as well.

    The funny part is how many of the "Pro Staffers" could make a pro staff for a show or a company? There is a reason they make their own page and it is the same as why we give out participation ribbons.

    You should be able to get involved with them if you want. There are a lot of them nationwide and they are always adding to their staff.

    I bet most people don't know this though - and most of the pro staffers don't give this tidbit out freely.

    I'm betting most Pro Staff members don't know what it means....

    There are 5 days in a week and only 2 days for the weekend. Why the hell does the furnace always have to conk out on the weekend when they charge $160/hr instead of the normal rate during the week ?? The odds are against it but it never fails !!!!!!!

    You and I both know the only thing professional about that cat are the size of his fingers.

    Shipping costs... Two weeks ago I was in the market for a new depth finder for my boat. Found one at cabelas that I really liked for 500 bucks, but it would have cost 16.95 shipping. I went elsewhere.

    This week I saw that navionics map cards are 30 dollars off. I had 20 dollars in cabelas bucks, plus they had 5 dollar shipping. Well, you can't use cabelas bucks with shipping codes, so 16.95 to ship a freaking sd card!!! There is no possible way it would cost 17 dollars to ship either item through any carrier! I again went elsewhere.

    Thing is if you don't agree with them they feel you are attacking them or their beliefs. If people are rude to me they are going to get it right back.

    The running trend that is blowing up all over. I suppose there are worse trends out there, but everybody and their brother on Facebook feels the need to post every run/5k/10k/Utlra that they have done or plan to do. They're almost as bad as the stupid mileage stickers on people's cars.
