Free: Contests & Raffles.
My 12 year old nephew drew a big bull tag and killed a 280 bull. His dad's first post to this forum was that bull. My nephew was so excited. After a few posts the "His dad probably shot that". "I wonder whose orchard he shot that in?" And my favorite...."That's a dink for that tag. I would not have shot it." He cried that night and neither he or his dad have been back.
allowing a forum to find it's balance and not be overly moderated is the best way IMO. Retriever Training Forum was one of the best forums in dog stuff for a long time. The owner started moderating the heck out of it and wanted everyone to be PC all the time and it got real boring, real fast.

Don't need a 2am bar brawl but boring = dead.
For me it's the nit picking and judgement of the post's. like not wearing orange in the trophy pic or the pointing out of every detail that could be or has the possibility of being unsafe or maybe could be illegal not that it is but it could be if you look at it a certain way.There also seems to be a clique that can get away with saying things that others can not.I love this place but i don't post much because of this.

You weren't asking for my opinion, I know (I post too much already).I really enjoy CRyder. I wish people would lay off of him, his posts are very entertaining.I miss the young fellow who could really fish (I have forgotten his name). Always stuck his tongue out in the pictures. Everybody has a place here, that guy never hurt anybody. The hunters/fishers from the Native American community have a special place here, in my opinion, because many of them spend MUCH more time in the field and have a lot to offer. I really get tired of the "they only got that bull because they can drive behind the locked gates" baloney. Blah, blah, blah. Maybe there should be some sort of disclaimer posted by every tribal member before they post: "I'm an Indian, if you can't handle this message, go somewhere else and cry." The east/west stuff is just silly, so I ignore it. The Indian bashing really makes me want to leave. They are hunters, too, and this is a hunting site.
Bearpaw contacted me about my nephew's bull. He provided the link and I do not see the comments that I referred to. I am feeling very uneasy right now. I know what I read and heard from my sister but I am wondering if I am blaming the wrong site for this. Or could they have been deleted? If I am confused as to which site, I apologize to Bearpaw and all the members.

I was pretty shocked at the anti-native sentiment on this site! Someone sees a bull elk in the back of a truck after the regular season and it gets posted as another hate natives thread. And seeing one of the admins chime in on the bashing was a big surprise. I respect that they can have opinions too but still surprised me.The east west thing I get but I feel is pretty childish, I bleed red just like everyone else.In off-topics one of the posts that stands out to me was in the thread about the guy in the mid west who had a conceal carry permit and was shot by a cop. One person wrote that some people deserve to get killed. And I'm sitting here thinking what the *censored* is wrong with these people!There are a ton of good people on here though and I really appreciate the help that I have gotten on here and the members that I have met in person all have been really good people, hope to meet a lot more!Put off topics on ignore and still here everyday. The story of the 12 yo and his bull really is sad!
Wow. I sure don't see all the negativity and bashing that some say goes on here. Yes it definitely happens occasionally but it's not the norm.
