Bowtech_archer07 Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Well I wasn't gonna post in this thread, but reading kinda made me mad. The fact that you are accusing all of us of being fake on this forum is downright wrong and I think you are just trying to stir something up. As for your original post, I think all of us have bent the rules a little as far as shooting a few minutes early. I know there has been a time like Tominator said where all check stations were closed and we butchered the deer and never checked it in. Yes I have trespassed to recover deer or walk into a stand in order to have a better route to the stand. However, I don't think anyone on here as ever claimed to be perfect or be a perfect hunter. The fact that you have traveled and had experiences with unethical or illegal hunters does not mean you can generalize it to the entire hunting community. That is what PETA and other anti-hunting groups do in order to try to give all hunters a bad name. They take bad examples and generalize and get people to believe them. As a hunter, you should be ashamed of yourself for generalizing this to all hunters because of the reason I stated above. Another example of the fact that people don't claim to be a saint is look at the deer hunting threads where people have lost deer. They aren't lying. I had 2 occasions this year where I lost deer and posted about both of them on here telling people what I did and what I think I did wrong. I know I made a poor shot choice and I learned from it. Things like that are how young hunters who are on here learn about hunting and ethics. My dad always taught me to wait for a good shot angle and I got excited and took the shot on a bad angle. As for answering your questions, I'm not going to but I will say that yes, I have done taken a shot a little before or after shooting light and I will leave it at that. Again, I think you have had some bad hunting experiences and I'm sorry for that, but I don't think you should apply it to all hunters based on your experiences alone.

Stone Cold Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 So what you are saying that when my Grandpa told me that he walked 10 miles in snow three feet deep to school he was fibbing? Now I am mad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckee Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Turkeygirl, irregardless is not a word. :rockon: got news for you oh wise one , it is a word ....................\/.................... Main Entry: ir·re·gard·less Pronunciation: \ˌir-i-ˈgärd-ləs\ Function: adverb Etymology: probably blend of irrespective and regardless Date: circa 1912 nonstandard : regardless usage Irregardless originated in dialectal American speech in the early 20th century. Its fairly widespread use in speech called it to the attention of usage commentators as early as 1927. The most frequently repeated remark about it is that “there is no such word.” There is such a word, however. It is still used primarily in speech, although it can be found from time to time in edited prose. Its reputation has not risen over the years, and it is still a long way from general acceptance. Use regardless instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TreeStandBowHunter Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 You know I knew it was a word but I wasn't going to say anything, you know, trying to be nice. Actually Turkeygirl, for a college student, I am very disappointed that you used such a word because according to my handy dandy dictionary below... "USAGE Irregardless, with its illogical negative prefix, is widely heard, perhaps arising under the influence of such perfectly correct forms as : irrespective. Irregardless is avoided by careful users of English. Use regardless to mean 'without regard or consideration for' or 'nevertheless': : I go walking every day regardless of season or weather."

buckee Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 OH, and I lied on this forum last year when I said I looked for that buck I wounded for 3 days. Actually, I continued looking for it every chance I got, even into shed hunting season, and even trespassed in a few wooded back yards trying to find it. (unarmed of course) Now I feel better too.

Turkeygirl Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Listen here TSBH and Stinger....I don't give a crap! I more so meant irrelevant and instead came up with irregardless....my bad. We all make mistakes...and for telling me your dissapointed because I'm a college student....guess what, no one is perfect. You two need to take a happy pill and get off people's backs like mine! Now can we lock this thread already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger-Hunter Posted December 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Turkeygirl, I'm thinking that the thread should not be locked irregardless of the fact that it has gone in 7 different directions. The topic now seems irrelevant, but we have all gone from hostile to teasing each other. This is a sign of camaraderie irregardless of how the thread started out.
