I used to cover Kansas for work. Those birds are huge compared to the ones here in Utah. A 17lb bird here is pretty big lol. My family back in Tennessee regularly kills 26lb birds up to almost 30. Jakes back east weigh more than these things we call turkeys out here lol

Brad, I do believe you enjoy stirring the pot. Maybe you should go on that Nebraska doe hunt!

I've seen several GMU posts recently. Bringing this glorious thread to the top for the FNGs, rooks, newbs, well meaning new hunters and ill intentioned trolls alike. Remember, you put that shit on the internet, you can't take it back and it only does the unit (and you) a disservice.

They are. And to keep people like cnelk entertained because as much as he likes to hear himself complaining about all the questions, he keeps responding to them. LOL

 

[cnelk]

It’s unfortunate that newtosavage doesn’t have more to contribute other than increasing his post count to the elk forum.
But it’s understandable

 

[Newtosavage]

I have more to contribute than your constant b*tching. LOL And you're one to talk about post count.

I took you at your word about responding to all the "dumb questions" (your comment) until I realized you were still responding to all the "dumb questions."

Preemptively starting a thread about complaining though... that's one I never thought of. Or perhaps we should all be thanking you for policing this forum against "newbies." LOL

Like I told you before, you clearly need a break from this forum if it's affecting you this much.

What exactly have you contributed to this forum? It is about successful big game western hunting on public land. Are you an expert on hunting turkeys? If so, that would explain a lot.

Newtosavage contributes nothing but he sure loves to post about everything and fight whenever possible. Cnek is a legend in here. Newtosavage would know that if he didn't just join. Back country is a long standing solid guy as well. Savage doesn't fit the culture here at all.

 

[idahohikker]

Just hilarious that savage is freaking out about locals who are piping up about the give me honey holes post. Obviously savage from Texas doesn't get Western hunting and thinks people should be spoon fed spots on their first post because there's no crowding issues in the West.

He’s been a contributing member on this site since it started and helped countless people via pm and email myself included and you’ve been on here for six months and posting your .02 on every thread on here? Hmm I think you need a break from the forum...

 

[204guy]

This thread is a good reminder. There's a bunch of unit specific threads right now. I'd be fully supportive of Rokslide prohibiting any threads with a unit in the title.

....I could jump on board with that

Do it mods! Auto delete those threads! Does nothing but harm by leaving them up.

Fair enough.

I get it. I've been a contributing member on two other forums for over 15 years and have helped countless people in those areas. It's nice to have access to that kind of expertise.

It's the complaining about complaining and b*tching about "the same old stupid questions" that is an indication of someone who needs a break. I recognized that in my own participation on those other forums several times, so I took a break. I'm just pointing that out.

Just calling it like I see it.

Might want to go back and read the 2nd post on this thread.

Seriously.

Also, Cnelk's first "preemptive" post was needed. It's not complaining, it's not attacking newbies, it's addressing a problem. If you don't get the problem, you haven't hunted a CO OTC unit long enough to see it blown up on the internet.

Perhaps you're right.

So here's a serious question. How do you know those units were "blown up" by threads on this (or other) forums? Is that just an assumption or do you actually talk to people out there in the units that say they learned about those places online?

I don't talk to that many people when I'm out hunting. When I get there, I set up camp, scout and hunt and if I'm running into too many folks I just move. Never thought to ask them why they were there.

A couple years ago, I was glassing from a high point on a highway. I had been at this same spot 3 mornings and evenings in a row and literally hundreds of cars had passed me while I was sitting there glassing. There was no doubt they knew what I was doing and where I was looking. About day 4, two guys from PA come up to me in their rental car, get out and immediately ask me what I'm seeing and where I'm looking. So I told them. They were acting fidgety and I could tell something was on their mind. So I said "let me guess, I'm looking right into "your" hunting area?" Yup. They said they had been hunting that area for the past 6 years and had just flown in the day before the opener. Well I took an extra week off work just to scout. I had started 5 miles from there and scouted hard for 6 days and ended up where I met those guys. Not my fault that's where the elk were.

So, do you suppose those guys figured I learned about that spot on a hunting forum? They never asked.

I think the correct term is “TROLL” for this particular person. Some people aren’t happy unless they are pissing off others Very confusing and tiresome to me. Maybe if we ignore him he will go away. Ran me off a thread week or so ago. And I’m not talking about CNELK.

 

[Newtosavage]

LOL

Alright guys, I made my point. I'm out. Take your shots if it makes you feel better.
