Gator Posted November 5, 2004 Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 When I first joined the forums, this was a place to come in, talk to fellow hunters, bounce ideas, get advice, and just shoot the bull. Anymore around here you get people that if they don't agree with your views, or something you did or LEGALLY do, they start bashing you. It has gotten to the point that I personally don't want to reply to some topics, 'cause I know someone somewhere will just start dogging me out. If it's legal, WHO CARES!!!! This place is starting to sound like ARCHERYTALK, not the REALTREE FORUMS that I have come to love to visit. Some people here just need to relax!!! I would NEVER bash someone for killing a spike buck, button buck, or whatever, as long as it was legal!!! I may not agree with it, but hey, to each his own!!!! Okay, I think I am done with my rant for now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texan_Til_I_Die Posted November 5, 2004 Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 Re: What has happened to this place? I'm relatively new to this forum, so maybe I didn't see the "good old days", but it seems to me that other than the Politics section, everything seems pretty civil (unless some of the stuff that I would take as good natured kidding is really meant to serious?). The Politics area gets kinda heated sometimes, but I think that's to be expected. I for one, don't take anything that someone posts about me or a cause that I have an interest in, personally. Of course, someone will probably read this and come back and call me sack full of %#%@#^^. But hey - I'm going deer hunting for a week in west Texas! What do I care?

Guest bowhunter56 Posted November 5, 2004 Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 Re: What has happened to this place? I have also backed off, i have put some serious questions, and get goofy replys, maybe i am too serious, and while i am on it, I find it hard to believe some of the posts, like, how many steps do you take going up stairs, do you freeze your pop tarts, so i rarely post or reply any more, it seems like your post counter is the big thing, All you see is "congrats, nice one,good job,congrats" one word relys to get your post counter high, I am also done.

Palssonater Posted November 5, 2004 Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 Re: What has happened to this place? To each his own. I have commented on the way some topics are jumped on. But that's what a forum is all about. Recently you have noticed the commradary come out. Deer hunting is important and guys love stories. The deer hunting forum is on fire!

I may not agree with some people's hunting practices but if it's perfectly legal, I don't slam them for doing so. It's their choice and who am I to say any different...especially if I don't hunt in the same area they do. JMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tominator Posted November 5, 2004 Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 Re: What has happened to this place? been here for almost 3 years and it seems to me, by and large, the forums are still the same. every now and then you'll get upset posts, hunters getting on hunters, etc. every now and then you'll get someone in here that stirs the pot and gets banned. every now and then Racksie gets in here a posts something through his alter ego "Racksio" and we all have a good laugh every now and then "baby Buckee" pops up and we all have a good laugh every now and then we all do something boneheaded like fall through a ceiling, or discover a spider built a web in our peep, and we all have a good laugh. every now and then we all post a picture of our family, and we all smile every now and then we thank God we have each other, and we all smile every now and then times are bad, but most times every now and then times are good. things could be worse brothers. appreciate the little things in life.

Turkeygirl Posted November 5, 2004 Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 Re: What has happened to this place? I kind of agree with you Gator. I still say Realtree is exceptionally better than other forums(no offense) but I see what you mean, seems like lately we get people that come in and post some dumb message and that is all they do or they register on here but never post And then it seems that all we do is say "no offense intended".

[/ QUOTE ] There ya go...there's your culprit right there ...LOL. It all Ryan's fault The one big thing that has changed in this forum is the amount of new members. I have noticed a huge amount of new members joining this forum, just in the past 6 months. Along with new guys, comes a few hotheads, who are know-it-alls and critics. We can all get like that at times. I think sometimes we get guys from other forums come in here and talk the same way they are accustomed to on other forums and it takes them a while to settle into our family oriented atmosphere here. Lets face it...we're all morons, just some of us are bigger morons ...LOL Good post though, because it helps us all to re-evaluate ourselves, instead of others.

dogdoc Posted November 5, 2004 Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 Re: What has happened to this place? I've been a member for over 2 years and actually haven't seen that big of change. The guy that post a pic of a small buck he killed seems to get just as many cngratulatory posts as the guy that kills a nice 8 pointer. I might not agree with killing that button buck or spike but I will still congrats the hunter. I don't see a problem with disagreeing with someones shot selection--like what had been going on in the bowhunting forum. I don't remember anyone calling names just voicing an opinion. I did tease Ryan a little about his muzzleloader buck--but that was only b/c of a previous post he had made that he holds out for bigger bucks with a rifle/muzzleloader--but then posts a pic of his 2004 muzzleloader buck and I swear I saw a little milk on that bucks muzzle ---he knew it was a joke! Hey gator---you still owe me lunch! You better pay up quickly or I'll do to you what I did to your dog BTW guys I neutered Gator's dog a couple months ago! todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Posted November 5, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 Re: What has happened to this place? Todd, I am just a phone call away!!! Heck everytime I try and take you to lunch, all I ever get is, "well, I just can't get away right now!!!"" Ya know, it's okay to mess with a guy joking around, most of us know when someone is just messin with us, especially when it is someone we know. What got this started was the fact that some new guy came into a forum where I had made a reply, and starts jumping on me because I have the mentality that" if I don't shoot it someone else will" without even knowing what I meant by that statement. Then this same person goes on to call me greedy, because I made the above mentioned statement. This "person" thought I would shoot a deer just to keep someone else from shooting it that may be in that same area, when what I was saying, and even tried to explain to him, was that why let a 4pt walk today, that may get shot 2 days from now, when I am out trying to put meat in the freezer? I am just tired of seeing members berating other memebers because some don't have the same views as others, I think it's childish, and personallly would love to see it stop, and no, I'm not talking about the stuff that goes on in the political forums either, cause that's gonna happen, it's the nature of politics!

Jeramie Posted November 5, 2004 Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 Re: What has happened to this place? Ive noticed the Hot topics on occasion too. I think some members get a little gun-ho to fit in. Everyone needs to relax and take a deep breath. Sometimes people do need corrected but that doesn't mean that everyone in here is out to deceive you or need bashed for making a decision we wouldn't have..... All everyone needs to realize is that I am always right. Follow my lead. Keep that in mind and no one gets hurt. Everyone relax... Life is good. Bush is back in office.

AdvantageTimberLou Posted November 5, 2004 Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 Re: What has happened to this place? I think this place is great and I haven't seen too many problems. We get the occasional guys especially the "albino lie" and the post of "Bill poaching" that sent off some angry words but no the less this sight is filled with great guys and gals. The way I see it, if I don't like the post or where the thread is heading I look at another one!! Lou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slugshooter Posted November 5, 2004 Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 Re: What has happened to this place? I understand what Gator is trying to say, it's almost a given that the political forum is gonna be volatile sometimes, heck, I've been jumped on enough in there to compensate for the last few years. As far as the other forums go, I noticed recently the photo shop post where a guy posted a pic of himself posing with a huge deer and inserted a woodline when in fact he was at a meat processor, it was all in good fun, but one guy took it as a personal insult and started crying about it. I may not agree with some peoples methods of hunting, but I am not going to bash someone about it. Running dogs over here in Eastern NC is bigtime stuff, I don't particularly agree with it, but I'm not gonna stop off the road every time I see a dog runner and cuss him out, what right is that of mine, just like I know there are probably some dog runnners in here but as long as it's legal there's nothing I can do about it and if thats the way someone wants to hunt, so be it. On the subject of shooting spikes or does, well, if I lived in an area or had private land where a 6 pointer is a small buck and seen regularly, yeah, I'd pass up smaller ones and shoot bigger one. The public land I hunt I have never seen a deer bigger than a spike, at least with my eyes, I've seen pics of bigger deer, but when you hunt in an area when the whole season all you see is spikes and does, well, guess who's gettin shot. I'm not gonna pass up a spike because that might be the only buck I see all season long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
