Facebook and sub standard intelligence

[skeeter1]

For about the 10th time this week another “hunter” is asking the Facebook experts when the waterfowl seasons start. When they ask these questions, they don’t even state what area they will be hunting.
Every single hunter that buys a migratory bird lic. receives a brief summary of the waterfowl regulations that includes detailed information on seasons and bag limits.

In my opinion, if you don’t take the time to read the regulations, then you shouldn’t be hunting.

if you ask someone on Facebook, you deserve what you get!
For all the rest of you responsible hunters, thank you.

Well golly, I know when the season starts in my area. What I could use is the location of the birds and the field to already be set with decoys and blinds and if someone could pick me up so I don't use my own gas, I have gun and shells, but not too many s if it's a good field I may need to borrow some

No problem, it's only going to cost you $800 a day or $500 for a half day per person. Oh yes I am also some A-hole from south of the border, so I don't even support the local Economy.

When would you like me to pick you up..

Cash in Advance...NO REFUNDS.

You likely be hunting that local field that you could never get permission for because I have the farmer under contract to only allow me to hunt there.

Farcebook ? ? What a joke ! I did join it a few years ago as a way of keeping in touch with friends and co-workers due to my impending retirement but just couldn't get into it. So much useless babble. Not to mention their security breaches and what they do with your info. My friends and buddies from work know how to reach me the old fashion way on the phone and truth is I enjoy that time spent so much more.

When it comes to getting information off the internet …. really ? Farcebook ? Where everyone is an expert ? Like my brother says; Opinions are like A-holes … everyone has one and they usually stink !

I have no idea why people ask questions about the rules. You should never go by any ones answers as they are only opinions, not fact. READ THE REGS, find your own answer. But must say it fun to read all the crap that comes out some times.

Because they are too lazy to look up the information themselves, they would rather someone else look it up for them.

Not judging...no not judging at all.

The problem with helping people who don't bother to look up a simple thing such as when a season starts is you can be certain that they won't look up harder hunting/fishing regulations such as party hunting requirements or hunter orange requirements. I don't think we as a group should be encouraging that kind of laziness. Sort of a "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime" mentality. Now before some point you this may be callous, I would still help someone who tried to look up a regulation and needed help interrupting it. There is a big difference between "When does the pheasant season start in WMU 90?" and "I looked in the hunting regs and I found that I have a daily limit of 10 in WMU 69B but a daily limit in WMU 69A, does that mean I can hunt for 7 more birds in WMU 69A if I fill my daily limit in 69B?"

Good Post Dyth!
Laziness, I cannot tolerate, but will try to explain something to any one that has read , but is confused on an issue.

I hear ya, but sometimes someone might just ask "When does the pheasant season start in WMU 90? " because they might want to start a conversation about pheasant hunting or it was just something on their mind at the time.....
Anyway it's all good.

There is also the "Burn out" factor. Every year there is the same old questions coming from a new group of people. Everyone tries to answer all their questions, and then they disappear.

Next year same old questions, new group....which disappears as well.
