Poseurs and Ballers....

[Poeschel]

Sounds like the OP is jealous that some people can afford nice gear. I appreciate the fact that your a cop, but I didn’t choose your career path, you did. Don’t bitch cause you can’t afford the gear you secretly want....

This has been an enjoyable series of faux diatribe I have perused for quite an extended period. But now I need to go on to practical endeavors.

I like IPA's. I also drink bourbon rye's neat, so I can see how the taste is acquired. I also drink PBR. It was cheap when we were in high school, 30+ years ago. I didn't realize it was popular with "hipsters" until a co-worker asked if I was a 50's year old hipster.

I figured it out! It’s middle of winter and hunting seasons have pretty much closed all over. The boomers are sitting alone in their retirement watching the millennials on YouTube kill more animals than they ever did, all while wearing flat brims, chugging Monster Energy mixed with MTN Ops and driving stupid trucks. Some of you “old timers” should get some old timey hobbies like wood working or tying flies, instead of ranting and raving on a online forum like a millennial.

Anyways, I’m done now, gotta go check on how many hits my Twitter and instagram account have gotten since writing this. I hope I have enough IPAs in the fridge to get me through the night of researching my next truck upgrade. Flat Bills 4 Life

And speaking of dudes all decked out in camo...…….
Getting my coffee at the local stop and rob this morning. Dude comes in and he's all decked out in camo from head to toe. Thought it was somewhat strange so I asked him if he was out hunting. He says he was going to go out and do some shed hunting. His wife was next to him, rolls her eyes and says, "yeah, the horns won't even know he's there."

But if they did get hobbies it would take away from their time bitching that all kids do now is play video games and stare a screens. But bitching about that also cuts into their time bitching about how kids theses day don’t enjoy the outdoors the right way. It’s a vicious cycle.

Do you ever wonder how these new young hunters walk to their stand with their pants hanging down to their buttcrack. They would have to stop every 10 yards to pull their pants up. That's something I dislike more than flatbrim hats.

Haha if you think that’s a new thing there is 25 years of your life missing. That is so 1994 snoop dogg

It should be mandatory to wear pants at least 4" above the belly button!

Being an old guy - Two of my worst fears as a kid - but they built character. More than IPAs do.

Some of you may have to Google one of them

That merthialate is the devil! One time i bled through 3 pairs of jeans and got caught changing into a 4th just because i didnt want that hell in a bottle on me ever again. In the process i got picture number 2 for ruining 3 pairs of jeans

is a poseur a Canadian poser?

Ok -- I'll take the bait.

I find it quite amusing that everyone feels a need to disparage another person for personal taste issues. You can certainly disagree, but why burn the calories required to care that much? A better solution is to lead from the front and set a good example. If you don't like the way someone is posturing, suggest a more efficient method. If they don't take the advice, move on. You've done your part. But, it is never OK to just issue blanket statements about how this or that characteristic makes you an idiot or some lesser life form. That helps nothing, and serves only to solidify the opposing parties perspective. It also says something about how weak your character is. Provide a solution or move on.

Additionally, being a true hunter does not require a 30+ year old standard caliber wood/blued rifle with a Weaver 3X9, a 30 year old vehicle, a red-plad flannel, and overt cynicism. Times change. Having matching or unmatching camo, or none at all make you no more or less a hunter than the next guy. So long as everyone else is respectful, their personal choices in what gear they use is of no concern to you, or anyone for that matter.

If any folks on this site are like me, and have a few rifles, and enjoy discussing gear, they might do so because it allows them to hold on to the only part of being an outdoorsman that they can control these days. Getting tags is hard now. Getting time off is harder. I know that every hunt I have been on in the past 5 years has, at some point, been ruined due to some work "crisis," or family issue, etc. So, anytime I get to talk with fellow hunters about hunts, or rifles, or gear, or anything related, I do it ... and I enjoy it. For some of us, thats the best we can do to stay connected.

I grew up fishing here in So-Cal. I put in more days on the water than I care to admit trying to find fish with a compass and a chart map. There were no sonar units back then, and GPS wasn't a thing yet. We learned to find our own fish the hard way. These days the technology available makes the experience very different for new fisherman. I don't flame them when they ask for advice, though. Nor do I claim to be some sort of authority on the matter, because I am not. You know what, though, I really enjoy helping people out and passing on some knowledge if it helps them have a rad experience (with obvious limitations). I particularly enjoy helping out beginners and kids, and helping them have a great experience, because we need to grow our community if we want to hang on to our heritage. My point here is that this site, and our outdoors community is far better served by people setting the standard, leading from the front, and helping to teach the next generation than it is by whiny, accusatory threads like this.

Don’t you come in here and ruin this perfect train wreck with logic and reasoning.

Haaaa. Well played.

 

[Rock-o]

I propose a post listing topics that are off limits. Here are a few to get it started. Feel free to add.

* Caliber debate (but what people most often mean is cartridge, not caliber)
* High fence vs low fence
* Chevy vs Dodge vs Ford (and don't lump Jap "trucks" in to truck talk)
* Chili - beans or not
* Mil vs moa
* Anneal or not
* NFL
* Camo brands/patterns
* Smokers - wood/charcoal vs pellet vs gas vs electric
* Crispi vs Kenetrek vs ?
* Tikka vs Sako
* Android vs iphone
* Is this a shooter or age/score this __________

Avoiding these topics, and more, will help keep peoples' feelers from getting hurt.
