For example, any question about what to use for feeding/baiting...i can guarantee they will question if it's legal in your state WHEN THAT IS NOT THE QUESTION. This thread is a classic example of a guy asking a question, and oldtimer and topgun hijacking the post with worthless information/arguing/bickering that benefits NOBODY. I'm waiting for them to ask if i had the proper license and tags to take the 5-8 deer a year i referenced in the post above.
I'll not share what Topgun PM'd me. But I will say it has been tried by more than a few, some even succeeded, but none have ever come back for seconds. I was disappointed that CalHunter actually fell for his crap and banned me, I thought he was smarter than that.
Oldtimer is on the verge of completely loosing it, old age is a beatch (been there done that). I've read on other forums and noticed Topgun back pedaling and running for cover when he found himself talking to who he wanted to be.
Oh well, I guess it takes all kinds.
I've always lived by the premise even the dullest bulb in the room is going to shed some useful light sooner or later. Most people are capable of sorting out the useless from the useful information on there own.
Some may have had experiences that run contrary to current accepted knowledge. Just because you have an occasional new idea or perspective and aren't regurgitating what somebody else has stated as fact, doesn't make a person wrong. It just means they have a different knowledge base.
