Flagging does not mean fishing all the time. I was selling fire wood at a rock bottom price last year and got flagged three times. I was getting flagged by competitors that did not want me selling wood.

this could of been flagged by some bunny-hugging *censored* that did not want anyone shooting those poor old coyote!

BTW I finally wrote to Craigslist and explained what i was doing and what I believed was happening, so my ad finally did not get removed after the third incident.

Post by: Slideshow86 on January 19, 2010, 07:01:40 AM: let me refraze that (as ive been flagged for rock bottom prices too).

Fishy, too good to he true, great prices, somthing a tree hugger might like, somthing that isn't "PC" ect.

In other words, when referencing to craigslist, Its better to just copy-paste the listing into your thread. 90% of links to craigslist I find in forums have been flagged.

Some of those people are so whacked out

At least this time you got to read it before it was flagged. As I to have been flagged for various reason that others did not seem to want up there.

Title: Re: Someone offering a ranch to hunt on
Post by: littlebuf on January 24, 2010, 02:20:20 PM: well i just heard back from them via email. the guy said they got a ton of responses and my email made it to the short list of 5 that they are considering. they wanted a little more info to make there decision so i supplied it to them with a little bio of myself. sounds like a great place to hunt i sure hope i get the chance. there looking for someone to hunt every weekend for the next 2 months and it sounds like theres lots of dogs

Post by: Shootmoore on January 24, 2010, 02:27:45 PM: It could be on the up and up. Back when I was in college I got permission to hunt some great private pheasant land. The deal was to hunt pheasants, I had to hunt coyotes on the property in the winter. Boy that was the hardest deal I have ever had to make...NOT!

Post by: littlebuf on January 24, 2010, 02:38:20 PM: i think it probably is on the up and up. the only thing i did not give them that they asked for was my address. i explained why i would not give it to them and hopefully they understand. they probably want it for a background check but i need to protect my self and family
Title: Re: Someone offering a ranch to hunt on
Post by: Kowsrule30 on January 24, 2010, 03:54:30 PM: I wouldn't have gave them my address either....
Title: Re: Someone offering a ranch to hunt on
Post by: oneezreiter on January 24, 2010, 04:08:41 PM: I replied to this add as well, I didn't get a response, I think I lacked the experience they were looking for. I think if it were a scam they would have replied to pretty much everybody that they could. But still a good call on not giving out your address.
Title: Re: Someone offering a ranch to hunt on
Post by: LastCat on January 24, 2010, 04:43:19 PM: Well I got a response too, I am on the list of 5..ha! Sounds more like a list of 100. He does state "what are you willing to give?"....ya ok, have fun, not getting involved.

Post by: littlebuf on January 24, 2010, 05:18:30 PM: didnt ask me what i was willing to give :dunno: i'll wait to hear from him.
Title: Re: Someone offering a ranch to hunt on
Post by: LastCat on January 25, 2010, 04:34:51 PM: Here's the copy of his email:

"Hello,

As you can imagine I've received many emails having interest to hunt our
ranch.

I'm located off of hwy 12 about 45mi east of I-5.

We have ~ 450 acres of land boarding nat'l forest and the Cowlitz River.

I'm answering 5 of the many emails to get down to 1-2 hunting groups, etc.

Can you provide your full name(s), address and years experience hunting?

And what weekends you are available in the next 2-3 months, if interested.

Price is being considered...we wish to provide exclusive rights to one or two hunting parties/partners for 1-3 years.
what are you willing to give?
planned times only. no walk-on without written premission. property is heavly posted and no one has hunted the dogs here for a long time..

lots of dogs, guarantee dogs!

many thanks,

Lenny"
