"Crucify" seems a little melodramatic. The Forum could use an upgrade re posting pics without a 3rd party host.
Reflecting and carrying on...

I've read a lot of your occasional posts, I can tell you are a knowledgeable guy.
Unfortunately the tone of a straight shooter doesn't translate well into writing, so some might take it the wrong way, which seems to be the case in a lot of these arguments on here.

1 - The posting stage, where you post as much as possible sometimes without purpose
2 - The report stage, where you start becoming successful and figure “hey, I’ll post some pics”.
3 - The burned stage, when someone collects the metadata from your photo or is an overzealous internet scouter and burns you
4 - The pissed off stage, when you pick fights with anyone you can.

referring to that specific thread. ppl are jumping on the user for wanting to hunt a specific turkey and not just anything moving !! thats very short sighted and makes ppl not want to share.
alot of angry ppl judging away from the couch here.... they all used to be good hunters I assume..
We reading the same post ?
I never read anywhere where ppl were "jumping on the user" for wanting to hunt a particular turkey. He related a story and while still enjoying his days afield, seemed to be looking for a little direction on becoming successful in the future.
What I do find interesting is certain people on this forum who enjoy preaching their hunting virtues first then attempt to bait or provoke others, hoping their replies get them suspended for negative conduct. Almost like they have nothing better to do and quite childish.

Dave, you are a big part of the problem.

Hey, if that blows your skirt up, fine with me. Just don’t preach from a tall horse.
Your behaviour is not exclusive to OOD either. Your irritating posts rub people on other boards as well. Difference is, you are not a moderator on those boards and can’t delete posts you don’t like.
I finally had enough of your preaching about spring dog training on wild birds and accused you of being obtuse. Not insulting or inflammatory IMO, but you deleted my post.
Others have called you out when you publicly refused to contribute to Hullett’s pheasant program, but quite enjoyed harvesting their birds...and complaining about it. This caused you to “leave in disgust” (your words not mine).
I agree there should be some reflection....it should be you.

I’d have to agree with you on the translation to writing — I’m somewhat ‘matter of fact’.
With that said, I hope I’m not contributing to too many arguments, as I don’t think I post enough.

Hey Sprite wasn't referring to you. Was reffering to a personal pot shot taken at me.

Thought a pm to remind you if your comments are important at least have the coutesy to post it in the right subforum. If its not that important to you than I'll just post hole threads in the wrong forum

Steve thing is you and I have very different views. Thing is I've move on from trying to change the minds of the differently capable.
Its only here I've encountered sour grapes and think my posts are quite enjoyed on real upland forums
In the end you do you and I'll do me
