I understand where you are coming from Ck87 and agree somewhat. But there are some really great guys on this board for sure, and even the guys who come off as possibly disrespectful I don't think mean to be. I know there are guys on this board who have really helped me and they did not know me from adam. I think the good guys on this board far outweigh the bad (in a landslide). I think people need to realize it really plays against them not to help. Sure tell somebody go to a website don't be lazy, don't ask dumb questions, and all that will do is kill your traditions and way of life faster than anything else you can do. Ok you can say if you are not willing to go do all that then you shouldn't be hunting anyways, well I will tell you it doesn't mean you are lazy just means you were looking for help plain and simple. And this notion that you should have to work super hard just to be able to hunt is crazy!!! That's a liberal idea in itself, kinda like the extremely confusing game regs our state provides us. I will tell you it is definitely not thought of like that by my friends or family who live in Texas and Oklahoma. They look at it as a way of life and one they would be happy to show anyone. That doesn't mean they would give up their honey holes or tell you exactly where to go, but I guarantee you would get positive instruction. You should work hard in the field, not trying to understand the rules and regs IMO. I just wish I was closer because I could have learned so much more from them. If you want to keep your guns, if you want to keep your hunting rights the very best way to do that is by having more people own guns and hunt. Plain and simple. You want people in office to push your agenda then you need votes. That is where the true power is. Why do you think this state is in the crapper? One of the biggest reasons is the three biggest cities LA, SD, and SF are all incredibly liberal and by far have the most votes which gives them the biggest voice.
I know a lot may not agree with me and that is fine but that is my opinion and how I feel and for now it is still a free country. You will always catch more flies with honey then you will with vinegar, we should all be taking people to hunt as much as we can. Even though I do not know them, I see guys on here like Aeon, MJB, and Ilovesprig not to mention a lot of others always offering help. I know this is the internet and you will always get negative remarks anywhere in life but whether you agree with me or not we should all at least think about it a bit. OK rant over lol
