What do you think of this Muley? Score and age class?

[huntnphool]

A few people keep saying to trust what mtnmuley says. Why? We don't know him personally. Just because he says that particular buck is dead doesn't mean it is.

 FWIW, I do know him personally and the buck has indeed been tagged.

Or one that looks like it. Regardless of that, there was no need to treat the original poster disrespectfully as he did. No excuse for that at all. It was a great thread until Mtnmuley jumped in.

 Your opinion on how it was handled is your right to voice, I'm simply backing up his statement that the buck in question has been tagged, carry on with your character assassination/thread derailment as you see fit.

I'm not sure what thread you were reading, but I saw several posts from steeliedrew that were calling MtnMuley a liar in an attempt to get him to post a pic.  Those were way more disrespectful than anything MtnMuley said.  Some highlights in case you missed them:

"Pics or it didn't happen.   "
"If you're right on the unit then I'm more inclined to believe the story."
"I'm going to go ahead and say the I do not believe you. And we will leave it at that. Good thing I know where deer like this, summer year after year."

Holy cow. Step away for awhile and this thing has gone all side ways. Great buck, congrats to whoever shot it

 Which is exactly how it should have progressed.

Fine. Just my opinion and I held off a long time but finally had to say something, in defense of steeliedrew. Those quotes I took as lighthearted comments. Not a big deal. Mtnmuley was free to do as he wished. What he could have done though, was to reply to the PM's he was sent rather than ignoring them. Isn't that common sense? So, maybe it wasn't so much what Mtnmuley said that was disrespectful, but what he DIDN'T SAY.

Next time, if people would just use common sense and be polite, it wouldn't get to this point.

Wow really? Ill agree with some of what you say but I don't see where things went sideways just cause MM posted. Is the anger towards MM cause he wouldn't say how he knew the deer was dead? Cause we all know why he wont post pics but I don't see where he was disrespectful as you put it.   



 I was making the comment above when you made your last comment BOB ... So you're angry with him cause he didn't say what you wanted to hear? 

[bobcat]

No, not what I wanted to hear. More that he didn't even reply to the PM's that he was sent. Who does that? I don't ignore PM's from ANYBODY, and I get a lot, from people who I have no clue who they are.

There also were insults in this thread that violated forum rules but I don't want to get into that.

I'm done with this.

Tip for all reading this: answer your PM's.

I unfortunately read this entire thread 

couple things

1) It's not cool to post pictures of animals you yourself did not kill without permission.  This includes all forms of media, PM, texts ect. 
2) It's not cool to apply pressure to get someone to bend, calling their integrity into question or inferring they are a liar or mistaken is really not cool.

I wouldn't answer a PM either, it's just more pressure to get you to bend and show a pic or give out information that's not yours to give. 

[bobcat]

Okay. KF Hunter. It's not that he didn't share a picture. For all we know, he doesn't even have one. But answer your PM's! And say something other than just "it's dead." Or, say nothing at all. If he's going to post in the thread make it a worthwhile post. Did he think that steeliedrew wouldn't be curious and want to hear more? Man, that's just cruel to come on and say nothing more than "it's dead." No more details? A friend killed it, it was 30 inches wide, etc. What would it hurt to simply be friendly instead of rude? I don't get it.

Steeliedrew DID share a picture, of a very nice buck. And that's what we're all on this site for. To see him disrespected for starting a great thread and simply asking a few questions, is not what I like to see. I bet he won't want to start another thread like that in the future, and either will a lot of other people who read it. My respect is all for steeliedrew, he took the insults all very well and played nice throughout the entire thread.

I shouldn't have let that post get past the censor, I edited it.

We looked at this from the opposite end of the spectrum.  Where you seen a guy being polite and asking for more information, I seen a person getting called a liar and getting pressured to release information he wasn't given permission to share.   

Some people expect their word to be good enough (it's dead) and that's the end of it. Your welcome. 


Funny thing is I can't even view the pictures, so I'm solely responding to how the thread has progressed and found it disconcerting.  I want people to share, but I don't want people to be pressured to share what isn't theirs to share.  I'll come back later when I can see the pictures
