92xj Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 I wonder how embarrassed Fullfan's son would be reading that. I know if my father's head was about to explode and he wrote that on a public furom, I would be. And then I would point and laugh at him.

twowetdogz Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 It is kind of interesting how he put his opinions on this thread, and now hasn't been back to defend his opinions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 Don't think fullfan has been back to read any of these replies, at least he has not logged back on as his last activity was the night he posted this. Not sure the reason for his post, but obvious it was not an accurate depiction of all prostaffers and certainly is not a voice for all average hunters. Some good replies here though and got to agree on Randy Oitker for sure, class act all the way and a great insightful post that sheds some light on what life on the road for a prostaffer is like.

Fullfan Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 Wow First off what I said was not an personal attack on anyone here on this forum. I enjoy the time I spend here and I have made a few friends by being a menber. My wife always tells me that I should think prior to talking, and I guess she might have been right on this one. But I wil not tell her that. I posted what I did after spending the day shopping with the wife, I managed to talk here into going into a sporting goods store(large chain). There happen to be a pro-staff member there talking and attempting to sell several products. He was taking and answering questions. In my oppinion thes guy had no idea what he was talking about. I asked him a easy question about shotgun shells and chokes. He informed me that X brand shells and X brand choke tubes were the only combo for evey gun. Any way I could go on and on, my wife drug me from the store so I would not make a scene. I vented the entire way home, and then here on the forum. I am a grown man of 45 years. what I said was wrong. When I am wrong I am man enough to stand up and say so. "I was wrong to come here and run my mouth about something I know very little about." I know and understand that there are some very good, honest and truthfull people that are hunting pros and the people that are pro staffers.They spend every waking hour chasing the dream. I tip my hat to you folks, and Randy you could have slamed me like I deserved. But you shed some light on the working life of a pro staffer. It is not all glory that I now see. I am open for all the coments that I deserve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 There was a little bit of pride there, but I'd be proud of those trophies too. I do think the first sentence was what did you in though. Many stand-up prostaffers are in here as you've figured out. I hope the apology is accepted and you decide to stick around. It's a great forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 I am open for all the coments that I deserve. You won't get any from me bro. Takes a good guy to step up like that, wish more would do the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckee Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 Takes a man to say he's sorry and was wrong, so please forgive me for slamming down on you so hard. I was just going with what I had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruttinbuc Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 Thanks for coming in and explaining your actions, Fullfan. I certainly accept your apology. After reading your reply I can relate to just what you are saying about the know it all attitude. A lot of these "PROMOTIONAL" staffers are nothing more than paid (either in salary or goods) salesmen making their pitch for whoever they work for. Their widgets and gadgets are always going to be the best, regardless. The trouble with a lot of them is that they think that everybody is wet behind the ears and don't know anything. Pretty easy to sort out those types. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adjam5 Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Man...I gotta come in here more often. I went and read the post from the beginning. It is all fixed now and straightened out...but I wish I'd knew someone was taking shots at OUR boys in camo:D. Might have gotten in some choice linguistic niceties while the wagons were circled. Man FullFan you even got Buckee steamin'. The man don't have a bad bone in his body . I too have learned from the plethora of knowledge this board delivers. It is OK to make mistakes...as long as we learn from them. Congrats on the great harvests of the past and hunt safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhino Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Fullfan, I accept your apology too. My initial anger was because I have 2 good friends that are prostaffers and they only hunt "do it yourself" style. I know first hand what they go through every year to capture some great video footage. Both are exceptional in their hunting ability and I'm blessed to have them as true friends. Thanks for stepping up to your plate with your apology. No hard feelings bro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbgatech Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 A friend of mine does graphics for a hunting magazine and I hardly get to see him. I can only imagine the stress on family being on the road and away. I don't think I could be away from my kids that long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HardWayMike Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 No kidding! I have been to Iraq twice and I won't leave my kids for any length of time ever again (well until they grow up and move out anyways). Although it would be an awesome experience to be a "professional" hunter it just would not be worth the time away from the family. How exactly do non-tv type pro-staffers become pro-staffers that just hunt close to home? I mean do they just send in pic's of themselves hunting while wearing RealTree camo preferably holding a trophy by the "horns"? It would be kinda nice to not have the camo expense to help buy other hunting equipment occasionaly but if it required trophy quality proof year in and year out there wouldn't be very many pro-staffers (as i'm sure there isn't) in my neck of the woods. Sorry to drag that out so long but I am just wondering, Thanks HardWayMike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Andrus Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 Mike, They used to have a program back in the 90's called the local pro program. Matter of fact that were I started in 1996. Right now theres not a whole lota going on, due to budgets .. But keep looking around they may someday do it again Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
