flags,
The intent of my post has little to do with this "controversery" concerning notrious' comments.
"When you have more hunting experience than I do, maybe I'll listen to you, but not until then"

"But I will tell you the same thing I told him, match my experience and maybe I'll hold your views as valuable but not until then. If you don't like that, well, too bad."

The statements that i qouted, that you made, were simply quoted to point out what i truly dislike about this forum. That, because you (or anyone else who makes similar statements) think you have so much more experience in the woods, you are the authority on any and all matters, and any "lesser hunter's" opinions will be taken with grain of salt. So, just becuase i'm 28 and have "only" been carrying a gun while hunting since i was 10, then i should just sit back, shut up, and soak in all the wonderful knowledge that you share so eloquently? Obviously i, nor anyone who hasn't hunted as many species or years as you, has nothing to add that you don't already know.
