It used to be nobody was an "expert" unless they were at least 50 miles from home. The internet has changed that. Everybody knows everything and belittle people (sometimes)who express their opinion. Websites are now a way to display annoying ads (I get it) and for people who would otherwise not be able to get an ear to gripe, and for people who aren't necessarily that talented to inflate their egos. There's not trusted credibility on these sites, anymore. Just my opinion. I've viewed this site, but not posted much.

Me too back in the days....contest was huge.....with contestants....now not so much but we still have fun and I still meet new people.
I do think the social media took over more in place of webs. I belong to a few like the Grouse Society, Woodcock Int. etc, where I converse on FB. Also the Chatroom here is dead that was a riot back in the day. Things progress people change.
One thing hasn't changed though - there still is a wealth of information here if one wants to read. And there still is people here who can help if on gets stuck.
And new ideas keep coming forth as each year I learn something new.

Honestly I joined last year, and last year was my first partial year of hunting. I was doing a lot of scouting and not very much hunting. I posted of few threads in the forums and there were a few gentlemen who were VERY kind and helpful, and there were a few that were very rude. I came back due to the couple of people who were helpful. But i can see why there may or may not be any new comers. This is the most active forum I have joined by far. But some of my posts get ignored as well as replied to with snotty comments instead of encouraging words and help. This is just my point of view on the situation. But i do want to say thank you VERY much to the people who were kind enough to reply and help. it means a lot being in my first full year of hunting. HAPPY HUNTING and hope to hear from some of you gentlemen!

Very interesting comments that don't appear to be correct! I just went back and read all the threads you made your 46 posts in and only saw one comment that seemed to be negative. In that instance the member came back and explained what he meant in his first post when he was questioned about it because his initial explanation was taken incorrectly. Every other post made by a lot of different members, including myself, were all very positive, helpful posts trying to answer your questions and help you become a good hunter!

Soooo your going to read everyone's post and correct them, unreal!!!Maybe he was talking about reading posts made and the few fudpuckers we have on here always have something to say. We seem to have like 3-4 experts on everything talked about on this website, reguardless of the topic, they are experts!!!!

Just chalk it up as the truth and get on with life! There sure seems to be some real wimps with thin skin on this site that have to cry every time something is said that they don't quite agree with. You know you can skip posts or even put people on Ignore if you have a problem with them don't you?
