That is funny and I hope you and your dad have success with the hunt but I am thinking the time spent together will outlast the deer harvested

Apology:
It would have been good to know more information about the hunt in question before posting. Also, the fact that I lost a relative to liver cancer this same year doesn't make it any less painful to someone going through the process right now. In reviewing my post I can see that venting an ostensibly valid frustration (explained below) with what is most likely a tragic situation for a fellow American came off as insensitive. To that end, I am sorry to the OP and anyone else offended for what could be seen as callous remark.

Reiteration:
What I do not apologize for is being short with first time posters who come here asking for broad information about a hunt and usually are never to return again. I know I'm not the only person who feels this way so we can reopen that debate either here or elsewhere if desired.  We seem to have this conversation at least once a season. I am frustrated that some on here feel free to rattle off spots that they may no longer care about but some other hunters may have worked hard over years to learn the same spots and now they are dimed out for the horde of lazy hunters to view for all time. This is is apples and oranges from helping out those who are a part of our community here who usually contribute as much as they ask for.

In addition, I think its very valid to be cautious of the stories thrown out by first timers. Its reasonable to consider that many lurkers can see the cold shoulder response that some get for this practice so they attempt to garner sympathy by referencing a an aging relative / being deployed overseas / losing a job / you get the idea. To keep my frustration to a minimum I'm not going to tell newcomer about my old honey hole regardless of what story he shows up with.

To draw a parallel from life, I think of panhandlers on the side of the road. I'm not interested in what their cardboard sign has written on it. I'm not giving them any money, even if the 45 year old holding the sign has "Disabled Nam Vet" written on it or not. There are far more dignified ways of getting what they want than doing what they're doing.   If that makes me a 'Richard Cranium,' so be it.

OK, let me have it...

Lets hear some updates!

[axlepup85]

Quick update: Went up there and saw a lot of small bucks and a lot of archery hunters for the special permit season. I did see one monster. He was out past his ears and real tall. A very nice 4 point. He was probably 29 or 30 wide. Unfortunately there were six archery hunters putting a stalk on him. So we let them do there thing and moved on. Also saw two of the biggest 2 points I have ever seen. If We see either one of them again one of them is gonna end up on the wall. We are heading back up there on the dec. 1st through the 4th. I really feel like this will be the time that we get a good buck maybe even a monster. Thanks to everyone for their support. Will post updates at the end of the week hopefully with pics of a trophy. Thanks to everyone for their help.

Me neither. Also the dudes first post. Think well hear back from him? Smells of to me.  I lost a relative to liver.cancer this year and by the time it was terminal she would have been in no ability to hunt. I would guess this is a I didnt scout enough type of post.

I would hope nobody would start a thread pretending that their father has terminal cancer. Lets give him the benefit of the doubt and some respect. I hope the hunt goes well! If I had information to offer on the area I would be sure to send you a PM. good luck!

Very sportsmanlike of you guys for not going afterthe big one and messing up those bowhunters hunt.  I bet you guys have a great hunt this week when you return.   Looking forward to your updates.   I'm happy you are making the best of this hunt yourselves and enjoying the end time together as father and son, instead of turning it into a big posse thing.   If it gets to a point you need more help, holler.  If not me, there are a couple of guys on here that I am sure would help in a heartbeat.
