This has nothing to do with Jeff. I'm sick of people making us out like twins. We are too very distinct individuals.
Rob..........I'm not the only one saying it. Take that for what it's worth to you.
Unfortunately your were one of 3 that I knew of, now one of 4 so your individual pity party is unjustified.
Why were your replies to AE's thread full of praise and congrats with no mention of the above.........but you felt the need to point it out in my success threads??.............in fact, did you point it out in anyone else's threads but mine?
Your simply lumping my feelings in with Jeffs.
You were the only 2 saying anything.
And I might add, Jeff nor I were the very first ones to point that out and question it. I'd have to dig that thread out but I believe GR8 said what's up with that in the thread or actually started a new one.
WRONG..........your comment was the first in my thread which I posted with my Sept buck because my team wanted me to post a score..........I tried to avoid confusion and was repaid with snide remarks implying I was waiting on a bigger buck.
You shoot a great buck in Sept and we hear nothing.....you shoot your NY buck and we get a fanstastic story about it. BAM next day, oh by the way here's my contest buck from 2 months ago.
EXACTLY...........becauseI was done..........I had filled my tag in NY and could finally relax. I don't live and die with this place Rob and I don't run to the phone to make sure HNI knows I killed something. You have no idea what changed in my life this year and how hectic my fall was balancing work and hunting. You chose to assume a negative stance of skepticism...........why, I don't know.
I don't care if you did or did not do anything wrong.
Yet you felt the need to imply it
Admit to us atlas, that was odd wasn't it? We still know nothing of your Sept buck but have a great story of your Nov buck. That's all but it really is none of our business right.
You would have the story by now Rob..........if you hadn't done what you did. This year I made changes in my life that allowed me to hunt a lot and even travel a few different places. My plan was to post ALL my experiences together in a season summary instead of piecing 10 different threads together. Because of the petty reaction I got from you guys I don't know if I will ever post it now........I mean, what for??.......so Jeff can pick it apart and look for some small detail to try and ruin it or lesson it in some way?? Why bother?........I mean, he has already implied I was in Canada shooting over bait piles and he doesn't even know the story.
Your honesty was never in question, what you did was honest, you shot an honest buck in Sept, you shot an honest buck in Nov, you were honest about shooting the buck in Sept, you were honest about shooting the buck in Nov. You were honest and entered your first buck. Not a question at all about honesty. Perhaps there was a question about motive but that does not question your honesty because you did nothing dishonest.
Am I wrong about that?
YES...........if you are implying that I was sitting inNY waiting and hoping for a bigger buckto walk by so I could kill it and enter thatone instead of the Sept buck then that is a dishonestthing to do. I did not do that and you KNOW it...........at least you should. To honestly say knowing me through this board for about 6 years that I was sitting in NY waiting for a 130" buck to stroll by is about the most rediculous thing I have ever heard of.
