what an idiot. can we selectively kick people off of this site, PLEASE!!

[MallardMauler]

We killed 11 there opening morning and should have killed 15-16...Our birds were locals that we had scouted, however.

and the DA award goes too...............

Alfy, you can blame yourself next time you go hunting and can't find a parking spot. Or if you don't get drawn in the coming years.

I don't mind folks asking for info. and I don't mind giving it out but not on the board thats what the PM button is for.

Get online. Look for yourself. Call corps. Drive there and see yourself. Everyone needs to start recognizing that this website is not "CLIFFNOTES" for duck hunting in Mississippi!

P.S. Thats how I did it and most everyone else that has ever been successful on public land did it.

Ridiculous..

TIME-OUT!

Ease up, gentlemen! I know how everyone feels about public land and internet scouting, but come on!

This kid tells you he's a beginner and asks for some information out of the ignorance of youth...that I and you had at one time...and you fire a salvo worthy of a battleship at the boy! Yee Gads!

How about using a bit of couth, a bit of kindness, a bit of willingness to tell the young man what he's doing that he shouldn't be doing, then if he doesn't get the message, blast away.

I, for, one am tired of the nasty tone that has developed on this site over the last year or so. It is not nearly as much fun to read these days because I wind up getting aggravated by some attitudes on here.

And before you tell me "Well just don't read it," let me say "forget about it!" I've been on this site a very long time and I'm willing to stay and fight for the way it used to be. Civil people, acting appropriately, saying whatever they wanted, but not stooping into the depths of the garbage I see here way too often now! A cuss word here and there for emphasis is part of my language, too. But, listen carefully boys, when you do it as a regular part of your vocabulary, it justs sounds ignorant!

I am hard to anger, but you boys done done it now! Just for what it's worth, I don't know anyone's age on here other than a few of those i've had the honor to meet or those folks I know from home. But, I do yearn for a kinder, friendlier, more genteel kind of manners that folks from MS used to have and exibit. That's what folks most notice when they come south, the manners. Crud, some of you guys may as well be from New Jersey! Or, worse, Massachussetts!

We can talk plain, and we can complain, and we can lay into one another...that's what men do when we get together...we can joke, kid, and rag on each other...that's what friends do. But, for the sake of all that Southerners are supposed to be...ease up on the crass garbage!

If my Momma was around some of you, she'd "slap the ugly right out of your mouth!"

I know that most of you on this site are good people. I'm just asking you to let us see more of it.

Fini!

Ha, you guys are rediculous. Going this crazy over 11 birds in one of the most hunted holes at this location, it's no secret!

[engie]

I made the original post last night not realizing I was still signed in under Alfy's name(we were both involved in the hunt). So any further criticism can be sent my way.

11 birds on a 48000 acre wma that overall has incredibly low hunter density in a "hole" that is already overhunted and I'm somehow an idiot for admitting that? It's 11 birds. It's not 6 limits!

So again, why is everyone freaking out over a <2 ducks/person hunt in the MOST HUNTED DUCK HOLE ON a 48000 acre stretch of public land. The hole I hunted is literally only good for opening day(and an early arrival at that). After that, it is hunted everyday anyway.

A guy asked a question and I gave him an honest answer. If you think having a few more people enjoying the sport of duck hunting, will effect my success IN THE LEAST then I'm sorry for your underestimation. There is always somewhere better and somewhere else to duck hunt. I'm sorry that, apparently, a few of you are so complacent with either your hunting location and/or arrival time that you are now intimidated by the fact that SOMEONE may come hunt your spot because "some guy" on the internet told them they could go and kill two apiece!

Good Lord.

[mudsucker]

Mr. Crow has a good point. Let's be civil to each other. I know I am sarcastic and joke around alot, but we DO NOT have to be mean spirited. It is the internet after all. Lots of places to go if ya want to agure, cuss, and fight all the time.(one site comes to mind as I type!) Step back and look at how it used to be and can be again!

There are certain unwritten rules in this forum, which are mostly common sense. It’s not the fact that you tried to help out a new guy that has everyone's feathers in a dander; it's the manner in which you did it. If you won't to help out a guy, that's your prerogative. Just remember when you post something in the forum, the guy your trying to help isn't the only one reading it. There's a PM option for those discussions.

Understood. Look guys, just because I don't have 10k posts on ducksouth doesn't mean this is my first parade, nor my first internet message board. Jamak, had it been a hunt that I was actually impressed by, I would have taken your approach. It wasn't. It's 11 ducks with six hunters. I sure didn't realize people would flip out over what I considered a below average hunt with FAR below average overall waterfowl numbers. Perhaps I'm spoiled by frequently getting better results on other public areas from around the state. However, I know that if someone reported killing 11 on the internet, it definately wouldn't change my approach or gameplan at all. If all the "internet scouters" want to flock to Upper Sardis based on my report to kill on average 1 duck/man day(according to the 2006-2007 overall report from MDWFP) than BE MY GUEST and good luck to them. That would not and will not affect me at all. Alas, there are many good places out there that can't be seen on "google earth". Had I posted that we killed 4-6 limits out there(like we did Sat on another piece of public land in the state that will remain nameless), then by all means guys go ahead and rip me a new one. The fact that has me bewildered is that it is 11 ducks. Not 20, not 30. ELEVEN.

Speaking of parade, did anyone watch the Macy's T-Day parade?
