So what subjects have you learned not to bring up???
 
I've been a member here for a long time and in those years I've learned not to bring up that I'm not a QDM fan,I'm a meat hunter and that I'm a Mathews Fanboy. So what are some of the things that y'all have learned not to mention?

I've never really been laid into on here for anything.... which I guess is a good thing... maybe... I suppose I know what not to address... such as killing deer on damage permit tags.... shooting fawns.... dog hunting etc etc.

That and Rage broadheads seem to be kinda taboo around here lately.

The fact that I'm an atheist, it usually starts a long windy diatribe against me by certain factions, and it utterly wastes my time from that point on.

If I told you, I'd be violating my own belief of not bringing it up. :D

One of my first posts on here suggested that if people post their own land, but then spend a lot of time hunting on other peoples land (with or without permission) then their posted signs should not be respected. It had folks foaming at the mouths for days.

I've learned that if you gimped a deer, don't mention it.

Usually don't bring anything up, but have witnessed long debates over public/private land hunting. Just ask Longbeard(?)

I've learned not to pass on your opinion on anything here unless you are carying a Chronograph and are prepared to test a setupto make sure it is tuned, even in the field, and even if it is not yours. :D:D:DBring the big backpack next time. :D

Oh, and I almost forgot. Make sure you disclaim yourself (see below) unless you meet the appointed "expert" status on the subject.:D

RE: So what subjects have you learned not to bring up???
 
I guess I haven't learned anything since joining here because I'll bring up or chime in on pretty much any subject I feel I might have some input on, including but not limited to the following "taboo" subjects:......Scent Lock, QDM, Trophy Hunting, 2nd Amendment Rights (obviously:)), Trespassing, Whisker Biscuits, Peep Tubing, Mathews Fan Boy:D, Location, Feeders, High Fence Hunts, Crossbows, Gun Hunting, Elitist Bow Hunters......Oh the humanity!;)

Location; Deer hunting Gospel; anything that eludes to deer hunting NOT being difficult; Rage; age v. inches; etc...

I'm still a huge proponent on experts having the pre-requisite of actually USING the product they're critiquing.....but that's becoming (due to the atmosphere of the internet) more of a suggestion than a rule.

I've never been chastised for it (because I don't use them), but ultra-light arrows for the speed freaks always seems to ruffle some feathers.

rage, qdm, location, bowtech, scentlok/blocker (etc.), high fences

Don't post pictures of a dead deer or mention shooting 2in one settingwith a bow. The Ethics Posse will be all over you about shot selection, trailing methos, blood, setting, camera angle, ethicsor something. I now just say I got a nice deer and post my generic picture.

Now this is a shame. Is this what PC has reduced us to?

Pretty much it's all been covered. I think people just need to loosen up and quit playing armchair quarterback. [&:]
