It may not hurt you now, but trust me, when you see your spot on the net it sucks. I am not saying don't share, just think about how you share it. Sharing it with a dozen people by pm is much better than posting it once in the open forum.

Are you angry that I choose to give out wonderful personal info to someone who seeks advice. I remember a time when coming out of the field, loaded with birds, my dad and his buddies would just lay out the details to whomever they ran into. Wonderful friendships and hunt info for other areas came of it. Keep your little secrets if you want, I'll share mine as I please. BTW, I have told quite a few folks about that road, still have not seen another person on it, and manage to kill about fifteen ruffs and blues there every fall. Thank you
Not just someone but 10k someones now:rolleyes: Not angry just dismayed. I don't even live or hunt near that area. Just never ceases to amaze me the ignorance of people.Seen many good honey holes turn to muck this way. I would highly doubt you will see a grouse there again after next season. Oh well live and learn.

metlhead you can share the wisdom you want I will be rivht there taking it all in,i wish more folks were more like you
Do you guys remember when the old fishing and hunting news would post articles specifically listing areas, maps, and everything about those places? I do. I remember areas getting absolutely pounded by guys looking for new areas. I knew and hunted a few of those spots prior to the articles and can guarantee you that they were terribly impacted from too much hunting pressure.
I would not wish this on anyone.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with sharing what you know, but when it includes the specific road numbers, specific creek names, ridge names.....you are far far better off not sharing this information in the open. Way better to share with a few guys via a private email.

What is the point of this site then if it's not to promote outdoorsmanship and hunting is it just to brag that you have a wealth of information that your not going to pass on.
I congratulate metlhead let the info run for those of us that are seeking it

It started the end of steelies on the nasty and destroyed good bear areas up the near the nooch.
Steelhead runs were impacted far less by over-fishing by sportsmen, but — let's list them —
Growing seal and sea lion populations
gillnets
reductions in hatchery production
Bear hunting...F&H News maps had far less impact on bear hunting than forest practices and human encroachment.

Human encroachment?!
Bear populations as a whole are out of control due to not enough of them being killed.
