And Q SAYS . . . .

"If you want to see a slow site where there's only "bad money" type posters, go to the Smart Hunters forum. Even if 25% of Michigan deer hunters are against APR's, that gives that forum a pool of 150,000 hunters. Yet nobody is there. That's because few of those types hunters are good enough to offer solid multi-dimensional advice. A hunting forum full of newbie's or luddite types that haven't progressed in their hunting attitudes since they were teenagers means you get a site where 2-3 people a day drop in only to see that nothing is going on.



Sadly, this forum has been moving that way for a while. If a half dozen "good money" posters leave here after the APR vote, my guess is that days or even weeks could go by, without a new thread being posted and/or going much past 1 page in the Management forum. Who is going to post about deer management when all that's left are those who are against deer management? So enjoy the silence, if that's what you want."



Apparently we are fodder as an inactive site.     But then this guru of MAPRs states that the other site will be in the same way once zone 2 had gone completely to MARs.  Who on here has bad money?  BTW a luddite is a destructive person that is against new technology or improvement.  I don't know anyone on this site like that except for those that are using false identities.  This omniscient manic must not see the amount of guest traffic that we generate.  Besides that other site, our outdoor site is the most active forum on the web.  But then what can one expect from an antler loving follower  .

otc has now given my line notoriety:  "From ridgewalker......
"The pro-restriction regulation anti-hunter groups base their case on..."
What's that about degrading or divisiveness?" "


I call them as I sees 'em.  Anti-hunter, my friends, means not caring what the 98% of the hunters want because 76% of the 2% asked, supposedly have to get a regulation in order to take a "mature" buck.

Jim Bogema is a very disturbed individual. He changes his usernames more than I change my underwear. He has had at least two active usernames at a time over on another site for years. He has openly admitted that IP addresses are so easy to change, he won't be stopped. He is an instigator pure and simple.

And he doesn't even live in Michigan anymore. He tried to make friends in Arizona, but they are smarter than us hicks in MI. He can't educate them.

As to your first post, it sounds as if someone is bored. Nobody to play with?  Awe. Let's poke the bear and see if we can get him to move.

As far as your opinion that there are anti-hunters in our ranks, I agree. How many times have you read where soon us old geezers will be gone, or, so what if Mapr's drive some hunters out, more for us, I'll even pay more for a license. I let him go and BAMM, my neighbor shoots him, I want maprs.
Those that wrote or agreed to statements such as those are no different than than those that use the letters such as peta and hsus in their signatures. No different at all, they think that hunters that shoot (certain) deer are bambi killers and should be stopped.

I have a hard time with the fact that they don't see this. They have caused they biggest divide in deer hunters in this state in my lifetime. They have taken what used to be recreation and turned it into sport. What used to be fun is now too serious to even come close to being fun for some. They invest too much into it. When the dividends they expect don't emerge they want the government to step in and give them what the deserve.

Pitiful.

Fish on!

I have seen his type of management.. ground checking small bucks to see if they meet criteria for photo ops.. this fall i'll be recording it.. I have a video with a zeiss 58x zoom.. I intend to provide video of what's being shot on these QDM farms and left to rot.. then hand evidence over to appropriate authorities for much needed tickets
