got a lot of nerve? # of posts vs advice

sounds like I am in the minority of people on this topic...

As far as oil tags, obviously those are different because there are so few of them per year and such an awesome tag that why not help them.  When you do help them you aren't really affecting someone else's hunt because there aren't that many hunters and plently of animals.

And for calling me out because I have less than 100 posts and I'm complaining about it.  As I said, I know I'm new and don't have alot of posts but I also haven't asked for much advice, I think it's slightly disrespectful to those of you with so many points for me to rush in here and ask you everything I can.

I'm also all for helping out kids, Youngbuckhunter and I have been talking alot of his alkali hunt.  I'm not completely against helping someone.

Who cares? I like that people can get help from the "old timers" of the site with questions about equipment, places to hunt, workout strategies, etc. Asking questions from knowledgeable people is part of scouting, just like calling the local biologist or stopping at the local general store and speaking with the locals. Sometimes you get good information, sometimes you don't. The tendency for some to be irritated by "newbies" asking these questions is a bit silly. It's nice that hunters find this forum and are able to get help from others. Our numbers are shrinking as it is. Let's not alienate anyone just because they're new. Let's welcome them and keep up the good vibes. Just my

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?

Not at all. Just come on a local hunting website, and ask to be a charity case. If you drew a big tag. Everyone else is entitled to help you fill it.

Other wise its just hunting.

Well stated pianoman.  Accoring to my number of posts, I am a "newbie".  According to the time I have spent in the woods and my success in the field over the years - I am the exact opposite of a newbie.

Advancements in technology have created great scouting opportunities in the form of these hunting forums.  Back in my granddad's day if you wanted advice you went down to the local diner and spent time talking with the locals.  You weren't chastised for asking for pointers, as this was part of hunting.  It was a community, people united and shared info and stories and had a good time doing it.

Now, the 'local diner' has evolved into chat forums.  There is nothing wrong with that.  If someone walked into a diner back in the day asking for pointers, the person that refused to share friendly info was the one that was seen as disrespectful - not the person asking the questions.  Nothing is different here in the forum.  This is where people come to talk hunting.  To share stories.  To share info.  To make friends.  To carry on our traditions and to unite as a community.  If you don't want to be a part of that and are more interested in tearing people apart because of the number of posts they do or don't have, then go find someplace else to vent your frustrations.

I am flying in to Washington in October.  I haven't scouted at all.  Can someone tell me where I could shoot a mature muley?  I prefer 160" plus.  Thanks.

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.

Look, I'm no old timer here, but I've settled into my seat pretty comfortably and I've come to love the site, what it offers, and the people who've made me feel welcomed. You're complaining of people with too few posts asking for advice, yet you have made less than 100 yourself. It's great that you've joined the forum and it's great when anyone does, regardless of the reason. Unlike the stupid news channel forums where everyone gets pissed off about their gripe of the day, this is a place where people can go to be with other people of like interest - hunting. If you don't want to give away your favorite hunting spot, there's no requirement to do so. But, getting your sac twisted because a fellow hunter asks for advice is probably a little petty. Keep it light, have a good time, embrace other hunters and their common interests. Don't look for something to get pissed at. They have komo.com for that crap. I wish you the best of hunting luck and hope to see your bull pic this fall.
