It's through the exchange of ideas, information, practices, opinions, etc., that as a society we develop a set of norms as to what constitutes appropriate behavior.  It's no different in the hunting community.  Through the sharing of information, opinions regarding different practices, we hopefully arrive at a generally agreed upon set of values, ethics if you will, that guides our behavior in the field. 

Regarding baiting and supplemental feeding, the jury is still out. Obviously haven't come to a consensus, but I plan to continue to offer my perspective and hope others will do so as well.

Saying you don't agree with it has a whole different intent and reception than saying it's not real hunting.  One is having meaningful dialogue and the other is taking a cheap shot.

I have a grand idea if someone starts a topic and asking for an opinion then give yours. Then if it's not asking for an opinion then don't...

You can always start your own topic and not blindside someone's..

Your thread can be something like ( I'm  better than you because ??? )....

Anyhow spew your vast knowledge upon us lesser gifted Bowhunters so we can learn from the best most knowledgeable and greatest archers that you are , sorry I forgot superior and that hunt with the only acceptable methods that should be accepted...

Carry on TJ , would love to share a camp with you someday...

Me as well.  Will be doing it this weekend at the lease.  A nice mixture from some Mininites in Missouri.

KentuckyTJ; if I haven't thanked you then consider this as a thank you. [attachment=1]

Been on this site since not long after it started. It sure has changed. At one time, remarks like some of these, would never have been allowed. This place has surely gone to the dogs. Wish it would get back on track.

Wow ...again.

I'd like to apologize for not reading every post on every single thread on Tradgang every single day....  It's virtually impossible.

Although I have now read through this entire thread....

I see that some of y'all thought that this thread was not civil.... Yet you want to complain instead of hitting the moderator alert button letting us know.   I've been fishing thousands of times but I've never 'caught them all'.... And I never will.

You see,   No matter how hard we try we just can't win sometimes...

Pull posts and get accused of being 'heavy handed'...

Allow what we see as civil debate yet no mod alerts...and we've 'gone to the dogs'....

We'll try to do better next time ...and those of you who think we've gone to the dogs, maybe you should try being a moderator.

Terry I don't think we should always call the moderators.  I think we can discuss our issues most of the time.  Yeah there were some less than pleasant posts in the thread but I believe if more folks let it be known they don't appreciate those approaches then we can learn how to better communicate.  Personally I appreciate that opportunity. If users of a forum think they will always agree on things they won't be happy much.  The back button is my friend.[emoji16]
There are of course instances where immediate response from mods is needed.

Yes Mr Cook, you are correct....we don't want it abused...mostly when a blatant rule has been broken.

E.t. all...

And,  be aware...just be cause you do put up a mod alert doesn't mean we will automatically agree with you.  We will have to take into consideration track record and context. But we will consider your alert.

Here are four deer that made great improvement also in past couple seasons.

Looking good to me!!!  [attachment=1]

Thanks for the heads up TJ.

I was going to comment on some things, especially.....

But I'm with Sam on this one, you were providing FYI and not asking for opinions.

Dang Cuz.... I was going to invite you down to SC this fall but looks like you are going to have your hands full up there this year! I still have plenty of other critters for you to stick around here though.

I went and picked up my minerals today and will be putting them and some cameras out this weekend. I will keep everyone posted of anything exciting!

Studs.
