Hello back dblj-1,
welcome to Huntingnet!, you seem like you might be just a tad lost?[]

I think you replied by accident to this post.......what you want to do is start a " New Post" probably in the " Deer Hunting" forum . You can choose different forums by usingthe drop down menu at the bottom of the page.

Also do me a favor and read the posting rules while you are at it. You can click the link in th eupper right corner of the screen that says " rules" That will be helpful.
Hope you enjoy your time on the message boards with us and good luck!

Good post Matt! By the way, it has come to our attention that at least one member has been posting as a way to draw attention to his so called site, and to hopefully downplay this great site. but we won' t be fooled!

despite some shortcoming, mentioned by Mat, this is great and very informative forum, I learnt a lot since I joined it couple of months ago.
This forum gives me the opportunity to get advice from experienced and knowlegable hunters, I hope it will prosper for years to come.
I' m glad to see moderator taking the initiative to keep this forum at the level it was ment to be.
Thanks, Mat

Good post Matt. this place is tops, and the only forum I frequent regularly. Great bunch of folks here.

EDIT: ME AM DUMB

ME AM SUPA-DUMB

Good post and very timely Matt. Thanks for putting it up here. Though some may not admit it, everyone that visits here is human and should be treated accordingly.

No NO NOOO!!! JeffB you are beyond dumb, but trust me, you will never be dumber than me!!!

I don' t post a lot here for the one reason that I am not new to hunting but do not know all I should & when I have asked questions on other boards (not this one) the replies I got made me look like I was the stupidest hunter there & I got fed up getting put down. The one reason I like this forum is because this does not happen here a lot. I read most of the posts & have learned a lot from all of you & I am greatful for that.

Thanks all!!!

As someone that holds a lot of views about archery and bowhunting that don' t mesh real well with those of the masses these days, I get my share of blastings, flames and the occasional e-mailed offer to get my rear kicked. (They might think twice about that if they ever saw me. LOL) But, I think my alternative views are important and could help a lot of people that are struggling with the ' standard' modern setup. Too bad there are some that see those alternatives as a threat to Mom, apple pie and the American way.[:' (]

I TRY to be respectful when the flamethrowers come out but, unfortunately, I' ve got a good bit of old time West Texas redneck in me. When I' m hit, I tend to hit back harder.

I will try harder.
