Yep, not many posts over 3 pages worth reading for anything more than mere entertainment!

Amen CROW. This place has gottent nasty. I understand not wanting to share you secret hole but DNF, Mahanna , Panther Swamp, Mathews Break and the MS River. They aren't secrets. Guy just asked if birds were being seen on a 44k acre lake. A "Yes a few" would suffice. Let's ease up we all pay taxes that go towards funding these places. I don't hunt them regularly but I still pay and I am sure many others do as well and they don't come. The state advertises to bring these OOS in through Marketing campaings cause they do spend money on hotels, food, OOS liscrnce which subsidize us.. Since they are publc they do have that right. To quote the immortal Rodney King "Can't we just all get along?" We need more hunters not less or the sport will belong only to the wealthy who own private land or the anti's who despise us all for doing what we love.

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!
