got a lot of nerve? # of posts vs advice

[stickinmaster]

Well it seems that you don't need a lot of post to give advice. It really is a good thing helping others . Well the way i see it, half these units that we all want to get drawn for are gonna take several more years to draw. Or you just drew, hunted it, for that you need another 8 years to draw it again. Doesn't hurt your season when your useing a general tag

I know I'm new to the site but I haven't asked for alot of advice...

Yeah, you waited a whole 36 posts before asking for help with your wife's bear tag and offered nothing in return for the help you requested.

If you'll pardon me for 10 minutes, I'm going to pop up to the GENERAL DISCUSSION forum and play one of the word games.  Then I'll come back here with 37 posts and be fully licensed to ask for help like you.  By this time tomorrow I'll have over 100 posts and will then be entitled to tell YOU what you can and can't do here. 

Ah, I'm just funnin' you.    I see your point, but don't forget:  Some of those who are new to this forum are NOT new to hunting and might be willing to contribute here (provided you don't run them off).

The only ones that get my goat, are the 1st post and blaming someone on the website for Trail Camera theft, other than the blame game I dont mind questoins.

WHAT??  You're new to this site and know how to hunt!!!!!  I doubt that!

I wont ask for help on units, or where a good spot is. I dont think i would ask for help packing a animal out. I kinda concider it rude. (DIY additude as well)  Have had people help, because they wanted to, because of things i have done in the past for others. AND, i would help anyone out! I will PM people that i can help.

 Its superficial people that think they own that opening morning shot, because you can spend all your time and money on an area. Then get all bent because someone walks in at the rite time,(the guy that woke up late) and shoots it first,,,GROW UP! Its a sport, dont want to give info, dont, but dont be upset because someone else is good natured, and wants to help.

I guess I'm the person who would help a guy out.  Someone  ( a stranger)gave me some rope to help get my first elk out  when we forgot to pack some and camp was 2 plus hours away (drive time).  I was embarassed to have to ask being not prepared and all but we don't all remember everything.  There is a limit to how meany people get a tag and hopefully you don't hunt where the majority are.  Where my husband drew this year it is open for 3 point or better with the cow permit holders.  We already understand it is going to be a hunt where you are up against many tag holders but we will make the most of it and help others out in the process.  If we get the three cow tags filled it will be an awesome hunting trip.  If I fill my 3 point or better genral tag it will be a bonus and an extremely full freezer and some sausage to share with friends.  I may have to work and can't go at all, I have a job interview this week!

OK, you got me;  I admit it:  Only people with at least 87 posts on this site know how to hunt.  I'd ask those folks for help on how to hunt, but...I don't have enough posts yet...they'd be mad that I asked.

I have been watching this thread and didn't really want to throw more fuel on the fire.  It is a public forum and individuals can ask whatever they want.  Some folks are looking for a shortcut while others may be just be looking for a tip or two to add to the knowledge they have gained scouting.  I do note post count total with request for help but it won't necessarily prevent me from offering a tip or two but I will wait to see how they respond to others before doing so.  My advice will be in PMs and not in the thread itself.  Just my 2 cents.  Happy hunting all!

Personally I don't think it matters one bit if someone signs up and the same day asks for information on an area. What makes a difference to me is how they ask the question, and if it's done in a respectful way. Then if they follow up and respond to the feedback they do get. Some people you never even hear from again after one or two posts.

Also, people need to use common sense when giving information on specific areas to hunt. You may not want to do it on the open forum; instead, do it through private messages. That way the whole world will not see it. And think about it, anything you post on here will be available to anyone and everyone on the internet, FOREVER. Try a Google search and you'll be amazed at how many hunting-washington threads come up in the results.

I also do not care in the least if they post in the Introduction thread first. Honestly, I have to say I never read that thread anymore. If someone wants to make a post and tell about themselves, fine. If not, I understand.

I didn't read all the responses....but I think this has been the best response!

The other day a gentleman signed up and asked for some advice about a moose tag. He explained a little about himself, children and recent hunts.

Told him that there was some people around who have had the tag in the past and he could probably learn from the site. Recomended that he share some stories and photos and get to know those that are willing to help. Shortly after he shared a story about his spring bear hunt in the blues.

To me that is someone who is willing to give and take.

i just found this web site so my posts are low but post arent gonna judge a persons character. i hunt a specific unit every year but ive got 12 points and have not got drawn special permit yet. that being said im not gonna spend every year scouting the area that i hope to get drawn in, instead of scouting the area that im more likely to end up hunting seeing as im never gonna get drawn" or so it feels".  but when i do get drawn i hope that i can post on here and get some info from people who have gotten drawn recently and maybe get some info on what and where they were seeing things so that i have a good starting point for my scouting in that gmu. ive waited 12 years so far to get drawn for a quality bull tag and i sure as heck dont want to waist my opportunity scouting a bunch of bad areas. i am not a financially blessed person so i cant afford to spend every weekend burning hundreds in gas and food scouting a unit. technically i dont even have a job right now im just doing side work when ever i can get it. so from my perspective i hope that someone would give me some good info so that i might be able to get what might be a once in a life time bull, cause who knows how long we are gonna be alive for and if im dead im sure it isnt gonna bother me if your hunting in a area i like. plus if your smart like me i tell people where i want them to be, to push animals down or up in to my huntin spot. while still putting them on animals.

i hope everyone gets the best opportunity to get an animal, and hope they they feel the same towards me. every animal harvested is my best memory with my best friend. happy late fathers day pops!
