it's early guys...there's a lot more of this to come in the next 2 weeks...nature of the beast. just gotta grin and bear it.

:fire.:

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

NWWABOWHUNTER brings up a concern here on these type of posts. I've noticed that when someone asks questions about a hunting unit 99.9 % of the time guys try and help. But there almost always is someone who seemingly tries to steer them away from said unit. Why ? We're all in this together. Anyway, I hope that this isn't the case. I haven't been a member for very long and I can't tell you how much I enjoy this site and how much I've learned about other parts of our state. Keep it coming all.

I used to have a fairly good deer area...used too being the key word. Someone posted it on a website such as this and the next year there were forty new hunters in a 100 acre area. Nine small bucks were killed on opening day and the pressure has increased since then. I had hunted this area for 10 years and harvested 5 good buck, some years passing up twenty+ smaller bucks per year.

Any hunter can get as much information needed from the web without asking hunters to share hunting areas publically. Notellum creek should be the standard answer on a public forum, the fishing and hunting news does a good enough job destroying hunts as it is.

The chase is the hunt and the chase lasts all year, I spend mega hours researching hunting grounds and will not post in public the fruit of my labor...sorry.

Guess I would be the .01%

No ill will intended just my  :twocents:

Thank goodness, someone with logic!

What is so wrong with steering someone away from putting in for a certain tag.  I think that putting in for a tag has a slight form of competition to it and personally i want the best chances i can get to get one.  I have now put in for elk for 10 years of my life and waited patiently, why the hell would i post something on how awesome the units i put for are and possible turn more people on to them.  But i think that after the draw is done and someone draws a tag then by all means help the guy (or gal) out.  I personally would help anyone out AFTER they have drawn a tag but why on earth would anyone tell and brag about which tags are the best to put in for.

  :yeah:

So, to stir the pot a bit,  :yike: :beatdeadhorse: :beatdeadhorse: :beatdeadhorse: :stirthepot: :stirthepot: :stirthepot:

What is the Margaret like anymore?????  I hear there are 300 class bulls running all over that unit.   :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

I do not expect anyone to give up there honeyholes,  and I can see why some might want to steer people away from putting in for a certain area.  Not that I don't want to draw that big bull tag in a great area myself,  but am willing to help out others on here.  Believe me I am as competitive as anyone else,  and am hoping like hell my group draws the bull tags we applied for...  :drool: good luck to all who have applied and hope my tags are drawn just before yours....  :IBCOOL:

Great thread of hi jack threads...

If you do not want to post anything then do NOT.   No one is putting a gun to your head.   If someone wants to share let them... The first amendment gives people the right to post what ever they want.  If you do not want to read it then block it.  If it is going to up set you.  Do not read it.  I am sure no one is pointing a gun to your head to read it.  So don't...   Seems pretty simple to me!!!

WOW TheHunt, you really seem to understand.  :bash: Did you know that anyone with a computer can access this site and read everything that everyone has written even though they are not a member.  In the perfect world you could help out the ones on this site and them only but I promise you there are a ton of people who get on here just for the free info.  Not saying don't help, here is a thought, HOW ABOUT THE LITTLE THING WE CALL A "PM."  Think a little.

You are implying etiquette to the site.   That is not what was posted...  If you read the high jacked thread, the author was looking for information about the Nooksak unit.  All I am saying is if it is going to up set you do NOT read it.  Heck, it is a unit which will take a long time to get drawn.   It is NO secret as others have posted.    So block the thread if it upsets you and do not read.   One thing you need to understand about the internet…  Anyone can post anything.   If you do not like it get off it.

I can usually see the sarcasm in the posts that say "no big elk here don't apply", but if somebody is going to try and honestly steer somebody away from applying for a tag, then that is pretty lame, and I hope not what this site is about. If you don't want the person to apply for "your" unit, don't lie to them, just keep it to yourself.  :twocents:
