The statements that i qouted, that you made, were simply quoted to point out what i truly dislike about this forum.

I really don't care what you like or dislike. Bottom line a member took cheap shots at all the hunters that don't hunt the way he does. Even went as far as comparing those hunters to people that trash the environment. That is uncalled for I will engage people that make such comments.
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.

Again, you take it out of context. My mention of experience is because I have hunted in many different states and places. Therefore I understand that what the hunting is like in one place, such as TN, doesn't mean that is the way it is in others. You do understand that whitetails exist in nearly every state and from Canada to South America don't you? Different regions have different hunting practices and different regulations and if someone spends all their time hunting one place they tend to think that is the only way it is done. People with more experience know differently.

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?

No but you shouldn't involve yourself in a fight directed to someone else and not take comments directed towards others personally. You chose to involve yourself. For what it is worth, I'm headed towards 53 and shot my first deer at 9. That gives me 44 years in the field in many different regions.How many different areas have you hunted? My bet is your hunting is done in one place isn't it? Maybe you should understand that others have more experience and you should try and learn a little from them.

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.

Again, you take it out of context. That's the trouble with youth, and at 28 I consider you to be youth, is that they think they know what is gong on when in fact they don't have a clue. Here's some friendly advice: Don't get involved in what doesn't pertain to you.
