I think calling contests are ghey anyways. Ducks don't do that stuff.

jiminy this is becoming a nasty forum.
I don't think anyone is questioning his calling abilities.Quote:

Not that there is anything wrong with that I guess, but the optics aren't the best.
yes and what im saying is it happens allot, you just have to suck it up and deal with it. Christ when I participated in the mason dixon in maryland a couple of years ago Hunter Grounds called in it too, and his father was a judge along with another Grounds pro-staffer !? And that whole event (world goose, mason dixon, live duck and live goose) is up there with one of the biggest calling events in the industry.Quote:

I'm not complaining about anything. Frankly, I don't give a rat's azz about calling contests.
The "commercial" waterfowl and hunting industry is funny though. Normally when you hear something negative about someone or a business, there is usually more than one incident. (ie. this thread or Woods and Water) And then there are others that you rarely ever hear a negative word spoken about. (i.e. Luke Schreders or SLO).
Things that make you go hmmm......
I did not attend this event as I had other obligations. Now I had friends there that travelled a great distance to call and when they arrived it wasn't organized very well. No one knew what was happening, and at what time etc etc. Long story short they turned around and left. I don't chirp Ryan's calling ability at all, He knows what he's doing bar non. BUT I don't like the fact that he "Tooted his own horn" like that, like really he won his own calling comp with his staffers judging? I can see it now, CW will be campaigning that their calls win competitions all over.....meanwhile its their own organized calling comp with their judges. If customers knew that it would be laughed at. To me it's just something you don't do. Ryan could have called but state that he wasn't being scored. Give the underdogs a chance at winning their first calling comp possibly.Quote:
