most forums have been dying or went belly up with the rise of facebook, which really took off in the early 2010's. A couple of Nebraska centric outdoors forums have went by the wayside in the last 10 or so years, and they were really popular, too. Now only one, and it is not too exciting right now either. I have seen many forums that used to have LOTS of activity like this one, only to dwindle to a trickle. Some good ones have disappeared too. It wouldnt be uncommon to see the same usernames on many different forums either. I think some people either grew out of posting and sharing because life took over, or became jaded by the ease of which people could attack someone for even the littlest of things, so it was easier to just log off and leave or lurk in the shadows and not get jumped on. I will admit that as some of these forums that have lost traffic, I stopped visiting them too, and while Im not a regular poster or visitor, I do recognize a handful of you from other places and going all the way back to when I joined in 2006. I can appreciate a tight knit community, as it keeps down a lot of the acrimony and bickering, and creates a more personal feel, where others can BS and knows everybody. It is a friendly place.??

regardless of who took it, it is a great pic.

that is a pretty shot.

You and your whole family have had a great season! Congrats all around.

That is a fine buck. Congratulations

Heh, all riled up over an incident that happened in 2002. ?

Pretty mount. Well done.

Nice buck.

Dang that's a big bird! ??

Congrats on the bird, and all your success this season, ?

Awwww! ?

The deer in my area are grain fed, too, they taste just as good. ? Congrats on your Axis.

The craps is an apt description for the capitals. One magical season and then they revert back to their old ways LOL. BTW the Wings loss in 2009 to Cindy and Jennie and Co. still stings?

It's quite interesting to see some other teams have a chance at winning the cup. Like I said earlier I'm not really tied to any team I just love to watch playoff hockey.( and hockey in general for that matter)

Oh yeah I know looks like there's a lot of NASCAR fans and it's been like that for a long time, but sometimes there's other people who are looking for something to jibber jabber about but the topic hasn't been brought up, LOL.

How many of you folks are fans of an NHL team or like hockey in general? Anyone keeping up with the Stanley Cup Playoffs? got a favorite team to root for or somebody you'd like to see win instead of somebody else? I root for the Detroit Red Wings, but since they haven't had much success the last 3 or 4 years I've been rooting for the Washington Capitals or for anybody that eliminates the Pittsburgh Penguins or the Tampa Bay Lightning LOL. I'm not hardcore or anything, I just love the intensity of playoff hockey and watching everyone battle so hard. I can understand if you don't watch because it's hard to either follow the puck or you don't like seeing the fighting, but there is something about the players leaving bone-jarring hits physical intimidation or meteing out on Ice Justice, especially if the league can't or won't crack down on stupid penalties and bad hits. Anyways go capitals hope they can beat the hurricanes and move on and continue their defense of the Stanley Cup.

Beautiful! Congrats!

Having dinner at my parents for Easter and probably a little celebrating of their anniversary, which was a couple days ago. One more year and they will hit 50 years! Congrats to them, and happy Easter to the rest of you folks!

I'm not sure how I miss this thread, but congrats on the birds that you and your buddy got. You guys sure are having a great year. And thanks for all the nice pics too.

Puttin' 'em down! Congrats!

Congratulations, those are nice Birds!

Congrats.?

Congrats ☺️

Going to be working this weekend so no fun for me LOL.

Procrastination... It's a wonderful thing isn't it? Since the tax deadline is coming up I have to get mine all receipts, bills, etc. sorted out and taken care of, since I'm self-employed. it's really not that big of a deal but being busy I usually cut it kind of close. Thank goodness I haven't had any problems with the government LOL. I'll be also be hitting up my nephew's trapshoot as well. He's not doing too bad for a first-year shooter. Sure hope we can get some warm weather to cuz I'd like to open up the windows and get some air flowing through my place, because its about dang time LOL. probably going to be about a week out from being able to get up to the woods to start looking for some mushrooms and finding some early poppers. really do need to get into the woods I got the cabin fever bad.
