got a lot of nerve? # of posts vs advice

[adamR]

I know I'm new to the site but I haven't asked for alot of advice because I've looked around and seen that it is common courtesy to have a few posts before something like that is done.  However, I'm noticing that since the permits came out there are alot of new comers that don't care.  Particularly in an area real close to my home where I also got drawn.  Why are we giving advice to someone with less than 20 posts and wants to know exactly where to find there bull?

I guess it just sucks knowing that I'm already putting in my scouting hours while someone from the other side is going to be told exactly where to go and get lucky on some bull that they don't really deserve.

if they wanna ask its up to them no one has to give them advice

This year seems to be worst. Look how many Guest are reading those post. Rick

Well theres advice then theres advice.  If I were to give out advice to someone who has very few posts it would be broad and pretty much tell them to scout the area. But if it were a season veteran then I would be more specific. Its amazing how many people put in for these tags and no clue about the area they drew. I have been in units in September and had guys driving around actually learning the unit and gave them some ideas on maps. Everyone wants a big deer, elk, etc but putting in the effort makes it all the more rewarding.

I'm with adamR on this one.  Seen allot of new members joining just to ask for "help".

There is a introduction tread, and a search option. SKIP ALL THAT> I JUST DREW A TAG AND WHO CAN HELP ME. seems to be the way to do things. I LIVE ON THE WESTSIDE< & DREW A TAG ON THE EASTSIDE. I DON"T HAVE TIME TO SCOUT> JUST "HELP ME OUT"

HW has a great community, but get out there and put in the work.

Adam, I drew a tag in that unit.  I didn't do any research before I applied, and I'm too lazy to scout.  I just want to go shoot a big bull without a lot of hassle - got it?  When you're out scouting, make note of where the bulls are and PM me the GPS coordinates of each (if you can include a score, all the better cuz' I'm not that good and I want a MONSTER.)

If you want to send photos or videos that would even be better because then I can sit in my armchair while watching TV and decide which one I should go shoot.  When I get it down, I'll call you to help me pack it out.   I may give you a few bucks for your time.  Thanks dude.

I try to help who ever I can. That's what's great about this site. If it's a new comer welcome them and be vague in your advice. I'm pretty sure most wetsiders that put in for eastern bull permits haven't hunted their before.

[adamR]

haha... if that were true I wouldn't care because obviously you have contributed to this site!!!

You ever heard of the term sportsmanship, brotherhood, friendship, helping hand??? Sure there are a few on here that pop in get info and never come back, oh well that society. To many people in this world got their head stuck up there ass and its all about me me me me me. Over what a set of antlers? Cry me a river!
I thought we were all hunters and we love the same sport? I was taught to help other because you know what? You yourself might need a helping hand.

I started the PEACHES RIDGE BULL TAG topic long ago and caught hell from alot of folks, some PM"S that if the dude was standing in front of me it would of gotten ugly. Have we really come this far in hunting that we won't help anyone except those that we know like family?  There are 120 tags for this area. Are all 120 going to get shot, I bet a whole hell of alot that the answer is no. So that means there is still some to be hunted.

So you stop to maybe help a guy with a flat, DO YOU ASK HIM HOW MANY POSTS HE HAS ON FLATTIRES.COM  I would hope not...

Not trying to start a war here but I'm a little upset that this is what the sport I love has come to be....

and to say someone don't deserve a bull? are you kidding me?  So now you have to scout a 100 miles and spend 500.00 on trail cams, haull in 5 tons of salt and wear out two pair of hiking boots... in order to justify you shooting a bull?

by the way one of the people I am helping has 2500 posts and some have 5  dont matter to me, but guess I was raised different than some....

I hope you get your bull, good luck..........

I love these threads.

Agree with Skyvalhunter.  If it is someone new, I'd probably give them some direction on a road to 'check-out' or a portion of a GMU.  For someone that seems to have a lot of posts I enjoy, or offered up some good tips in the past...probably get some more specific info--maybe as far as a PM with GPS numbers of tree stands/game trails/mineral blocks/etc.  I will somewhat try to help everyone that asks--things like:  avoid a certain road because of a new gate or road washouts, or maybe where I saw huge concentrations of past hunters and/or their tactics.

We just have a lazy society nowadays I guess. Hell, half the fun is goin' scoutin' with your buddies and spendin' the night and goin' to the local watering hole to ask for advice.
