Is it just me or is there a certain contingency of folks around here who have suddenly gotten their panties in a wad. I've noticed a bit of hostility over the past few days and I might add it's mostly with folks with a low post count. Now everyone whose been on here a while had 134 post once up on a time and OG has always shown a warm welcome to new folks ( I was shown the up most warmth and compassion much like grandma's house) but some of you need to dig the drawers out your crack. Who cares if longbeards aren't your load since 99.9% of hunters have never killed a turkey with one yet, or if your idea of a perfect pattern is different, or your way of hunting is"old school" and thus appropriate...
Maybe some of you need to go out side and blow off some steam but please don't pattern any longbeards.
I've just never thought OG was about the bickering and petty arguments that are found on other forums and I don't want to see it started here.
Now, Shannon if you don't like this your more than welcome to pull it down.
Totally agree.Ive left other forums because of the "holier than thou" attitude people get.OG has always been helpful with just about anything i've asked,and not to sound like i'm better than anyone,but frankly if newbies want to come aboard and start crap I dont want them here.
Its not my forum to make this decision but I know I'm not the only member who is sick of the kindegarten type bickering over things,for the most part,that dont really matter.If your way is legal and you are happy with it then DO IT!But dont knock my ways or tell me I need this or that to be successful.
Thanks for bringing this up Gooserbat
Agreed, this is about the only forum that I'm on that you don't have to deal with d***heads. Kinda nice to be able to read posts without someone or something they're doing getting bashed.
:icon_thumright:
As a newbie. I agree !
AMEN!
Gooser, you just said what most of the rest of us was already thinking. :thanks:
Thanks Gooser. The comaradirie I've experienced here is why I've stayed. I've met some really great people who I'm proud to call my friends now. Let's work to keep this site clean and share our knowledge and allow positive vibes to excel.
I just joined a few days ago, and agree - man, it's been a little testy on a few threads... I surely hope I haven't caused anybody to get upset; I really appreciate everybody's feedback to my questions, and I hope I've been able to contribute in my short time on here w/some of my responses (w/out hacking anybody off)...
And if I have offended anybody on here, I sincerely apologize for that.
:icon_thumright: :icon_thumright: I couldn't have said it better myself thank You Gooser

Whew! I thought you were talking about me, then I read the above comments and figured since I go commando you couldn't be talking about me.
Good post though. Sometimes the wheel needs to be turned back toward the center just a tad.
As a new guy here, I would like to say, there's nothing wrong with a different point of view. But, let's be polite about it. My dad taught me years ago I should learn how to tell someone to "go to He//" in a way that they would be happy to make the trip.
well done.. Lee :icon_thumright:

To much info Guesswho...... :TooFunny: :TooFunny: :TooFunny:
OG is a great place to be and Shannon has always done a good job weeding out the knuckle heads (perfect example was Frankinlaurels back when Obumer was running for Pres the 2nd term and rubbed everyone the wrong way). We all have our own techniques, preferences, opinions, etc. The number one rule is to just be nice and treat everyone equally and with respect..... God Bless.....
Folks are getting uptight with season getting close.......
Guess i missed all the post,computer down couple day's.February is a tough month on peoples thin skin,especially in the cold weather up here in mini siberia Pa. lol
Happens every year. For some reason this year seems to be a lot worse than normal. So ready for spring so we can see harvest photos and not pictures of paper.

Yeah, it's been a little weird the past 2 weeks. Usually don't see that much bickering going on in here.
Everybody needs to get their butts out and listen for birds on the limb. I went the other morning and heard my first gobbles of the year and even though I couldn't do anything but listen, it's done my soul a whole world of good ! :icon_thumright:

Would be great to do if it wasnt 0 or colder at night and in the teens during the day.Calling for a possible big snowstorm here in MO this weekend :angry9:
Agreed Gooser. This is the best place on the net. Lets keep it that way.

Couldn't agree more. Last year this time didn't seem too bad but I've seen some pretty heated posts lately especially surrounding longbeards. I even saw a new member, and I'm not trying to suggest that a certain group of people seem to be doing this, take a shot and William at Sumtoy, ripping on his products. Now after having personally dealt with William its apparent that he is a great guy and I do not like to see people ripping on his product, as I know many people on this forum, including myself, use and love his products.

Yes sir, there is no better STFU medicine than hearing one fire off in early spring, Now let's all go add some spurs to the bucket and some beards to the board! Good luck to everyone this spring,stay safe and shoot straight!
I'm fairly new here but I am here for one reason and one reason only and that is to read, learn, and connect with guys that love the same thing that I love and that is Turkeys and Turkey Hunting. I don't understand what all the fighting is about? Do what suits you and learn from guys who have been in the game longer. I love it on here and I do more reading than posting my opinions but I have been able to compile a lot of useful info and a few tools of the trade to make my equipment better and myself a better hunter. Id just like to say thanks to the guys that don't have their heads shoved up their hind ends.

You're right on goose. :agreed:
Tight Underwear...... this is NOT what I had in mind when I clicked on this thread :toothy12:
I do agree that some folks are getting wound up a little too tight. Now, who wants to head to the range and go pattern some turkey loads?!?!?! :OGturkeyhead: :toothy9: :toothy9:
Well said sir :z-guntootsmiley:

Guess We would expect nothing less from you Bro.
The doctor said, "Joe, the good news is I can cure your headaches. The bad news is that it will require castration. You have a very rare condition, which causes your testicles to press on your spine, and this pressure creates one hell of a headache. The only way to relieve the pressure is to remove the testicles."
Joe was shocked and depressed. He wondered if he had anything to live for. He had no choice but to go under the knife.
When he left the hospital, he was without a headache for the first time in 20 years, but he felt like he was missing an important part of himself.
As he walked down the street, he realized that he felt like a different person. He could make a new beginning and live a new life.
He saw a men's clothing store and thought, "That's what I need -- a new suit!" He entered the shop and told the salesman, "I'd like a new suit."
The elderly tailor eyed him briefly and said, "Let's see... size 44 long." Joe laughed, "That's right, how did you know?" "Been in the business 60 years!" the tailor said. Joe tried on the suit. It fit perfectly.
As Joe admired himself in the mirror, the salesman asked, "How about a new shirt?" Joe thought for a moment and then said, "Sure." The salesman eyed Joe and said, "Let's see, 34 sleeve and 16-1/2 neck."
Joe was surprised, "That's right, how did you know?" "Been in the business 60 years!" Joe tried on the shirt, and it fit perfectly.
Joe walked comfortably around the shop and the salesman asked, "How about some new underwear?"
Joe thought for a second and said, "Sure."
The salesman stepped back, eyed Joe's waist and said, "Let's see...size 36."
Joe laughed "Ah ha! I got you! I've worn size 34 since I was 18 years old."
The salesman shook his head, "You can't wear a size 34. A 34 underwear would press your testicles up against the base of your spine and give you one hell of a headache."
