You know, it' s hard to believe that a post that started with someone sharing pictures of nice bucks has turned into such a pissing contest. Instead of saying,
" Good luck on these monsters, let us know how you do." , it' s turned into a real free-for-all. People calling others liars, people doubting others skills, ect, ect.

This is exactly why I visit this site on a very limited basis anymore. It seems every post always turns into some kind of arguement. Some one questions the poster, or berates them. And it always seems like the same few guys that are always posting the negative posts. The same few guys that never have a positive thing to say. The same guys that are always accusing others of different things (such as lying or what have you).

There are alot of good guys on here with alot of valuable knowledge to share, but it seems like there' s always one or two guys that just have to post something negative, then a thread like this one, turns into a 4 page verbal wrestling match.

I made a post about a month ago and was verbally berated and called all sorts of things. I was called a poacher, unethical, ect, ect. This is the first time I' ve been back since that post and this is what I find.

My suggestion before I go quietly into the night, if you don' t have something positive or constructive to say, just let it be. Guys don' t come on this post to get put down or accused of things. They come here for comradery and advice. I' m not pointing fingers because I' m sure everyone knows who those few " Negative Neds" are, but if you have to take pleasure in belittling and accusing, then I believe you have no place in being here.

I' m not saying there shouldn' t be debates. Not everyone should agree on everything. If the topic is " what is the best bow" or " what is the best broadhead" or " what state has the best bucks" , these are topics for opinions and debates. A topic about " Is this buck big enough for ya??" is probably not a place for a heated debate.

Z and Eastwood, good luck hunting these bucks, and I' m sorry you had to hear such grief after you were kind enough to share these photos with us.
