Seemed to have lost a discussion. Guess ok for the inmates to run the asylum. Too bad. One of the biggest issues for today's modern day public land turkey hunters. There is no seniority system for public land. Free access for all. Mocking the new hunters or others in the area shows an unbelievable lack of class not fit for an established forum. Whishy washy censorship a big disappointment.
Perhaps I took it down because a former banned member who likes to re register fake accounts , came in here and made derogatory statements towards our valued members ...littered up the thread -
I actually have a real life and trying to decipher the ramblings of individuals with severe psychological issues ...is not my thing , so I just take it down , and go about our real lives
Seniority system for public land? I am "one of those young guys" at 27 years old, but this season was my 16th straight season of turkey hunting. Killed my first one at 11 years old and haven't quit since. I'd venture to say I have more experience chasing turkeys than most of the weekend warriors that are my "senior" on public land, so why should they get preference?

Public land is for the public. Old, young, experienced...and , yes, even dumb. I am personally against any kind of censorship even if it personally favors me. There are other ways to cut the crowds without reducing opportunities
It's the guys that are speaking out against the commercial hunting of public lands that are selfish......not the ones who are hunting public lands for profit. $$
Strange times we live in. Social media is a hell if a drug.

Quote from: joey46 on May 20, 2025, 10:54:16 AMHaving trouble understanding your point. What's the difference in the two? What exactly is your latest ban crusade? Having trouble keeping up. If you haven't noticed commercial hunting on public land has been going on for decades everywhere. One of the most common types of hunting out west and that doesn't include Alaska were most of the commercial hunting is done on public. Always has been always will. These commercial guides don't work for free. The influencers don't either.
The times really aren't strange but they are different. Adaptability is the key to a stress free life.
Your comparison of commercial filming on public land versus a commercial hunting guide on the same land has a fault. A commercial hunting guide is required to have a guide license, which are significantly more expensive than a regular license and insurance, another cost. To my knowledge where I live there are no attached financial requirements for filming on public land.
I was referencing a commercial filming on public land, not just anyone filming on public ground.
Don't forget your trail camera use
Im not sure what you don't get Joey, nobody likes a profiteer who commercializes the temple :angel9:

In this day and age, I reckon being an old fashion, Southern, "gentleman" turkey hunter, as myself, has its benefits. There is nothing that can be banned that would affect me in the slightest. :icon_thumright:
