Im your guy....yep Finn, I deleted it......if the Miss Realtree happens, Im honestly sir, totally against it....right, wrong or indiferrent....my view is as follows, and Im not at this time the majority, however the mods are discussing it...in my own personal beliefs, and I have followed the forums for many years, its a post that could and will turn ugly quickly. I view everyone as sportsman....not male or female....and when you change that, well, its not fair or ethical to portray a "woman" in a different manner, even if its for a "fun" contest...as sure as Im sitting here, there will be unappropriate pictures, unapproved pictures an ex boyfriend published on a National website, just to be "that" guy that got one over on her....it happens all the time, and I feel this is not the forum for it....if I get overturned in my decision by Scott at Realtree, so be it......al

Thanks for owning up, but I'm really surprised at that response. Didn't realize you felt the male members of this forum were so low :o

Finn, buddy, it won't be the lifers....but there are a few questionable individuals on this forum already, and they will rear their ugly heads....it the contest happens, so be it....just stating my one and only opinion............al

Right there with you Al. Really, there's no place for that. Some will have a tough time keeping fun and blood sport separate.

I can say to myself, "I told ya so!" I saw this coming for the last few weeks. If the Mods allowed a Mr. Realtree contest then a Ms. Realtree would soon follow and it would get squashed. I agree with Al in his decision to stop the thread but I also believe that the Mr. Realtree contest should have been stopped as well. If you are going to allow one contest then you should allow the other or squash them both. It's only fair. Why should the ladies be treated differently??

I am with Finn on this one. Weather or not this is the place for this kinda stuff or not, I dont know:confused:. But I dont see why you let the girls run their little contest, and squash this one right away. I see what looks like some favorites around here:mad: and that aint right either. I bet if a Mod was to be so involved in this one like Andrea was in the other you would not have said a word. I could care less about the whole thing to be honest, but I do see it a little unfair:confused:

Merry Christmas!! Love you guys:D:D:D

Yep, I gotta agree with this as well. The guy's contest was run in good taste and all, I am SURE the womens would have been as well, this ain't AT, and never will be. But to let one go, and then sqush another is, well, I ain't gonna say it. It's the whole principle here that has me ticked off. That old double standard has once again reared its ugly head:mad:

Finn...as an adult, I drew my line in the sand....ref my signature, I have had it for 5 years, and I explained to only one other person in the last 5 years that it stands for the friendship on a hog hunt between a great deal of mods, and Bluelk, who is now deceased......I never said anything about taboo, if you have your contest, so be it......I will not change my signature that holds my bond with the group I was with, which included Dave Watson with Bushnell outdoors, and Scott Hughes at Realtree, along with the disabled kids we took hunting, and the mods I was with...............that is the only answer to that question you need, along with the idealist who gave it to you. al
