3.) crookedeye - 11/30/2014
that egg remark I made..i really didn't mean it..
4.) Swamp Fox - 11/30/2014
It's too bad we can't quote from a closed thread without a lot of computer ju jitzoo...That thread had potential.

LOL
5.) crookedeye - 11/30/2014
it was going good..lol
6.) Swamp Fox - 11/30/2014
The only thing you could have done better was to wish Alex a happy birthday and tell him you thought he was at least in his 50's...

This place is teetering on the edge of the abyss.

Not sure what it will take to make it work but it needs serious help.
9.) bluecat - 12/01/2014
Crookedeye knows that the only way to get you nancys to post is to harass you.

Seems to be working. That was more posts than I've seen in awhile. Such passion.
10.) Swamp Fox - 12/01/2014
Threads like that scare off new members like Adwer65, our latest addition. I bet he'll never post after looking around here a bit.
11.) luv2bowhunt - 12/01/2014
Agreed. How do we get real hunters, talking about real hunting topics?
12.) bluecat - 12/01/2014
Well they do, but then you go away and don't realize there were threads relating to hunting and equipment while you were gone.
13.) Swamp Fox - 12/01/2014
I think that's a German name...Probably started out as Adwehr but dropped the 'H" at Ellis island, or due to deficiencies in the public schools.

Just because I don't post, doesn't mean I'm not reading what's on here. This place isn't the same and you know it. If it's going to work it needs to change.

Note the satire, Dutch.

Not to dismiss your point, but I wasn't trying to get all serious up in here at 9:30 on a Monday morning...

:-):wave:

I'm glad you read what's going on, but unless you comment no one knows that. What would you change? Maybe we can all work to make it happen. I'm sad you and others don't post more. Even if it's just a funny comment, it just makes everyone feel better.
19.) Deerminator - 12/01/2014
The abrupt death of the BC site really drove the nails into the coffin.
20.) Swamp Fox - 12/01/2014
Did I already mention that I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part?

21.) bluecat - 12/01/2014

Just look at the active topics right now;

College football
An apology??
Thanksgiving greeting
A baited thread about my bow season
Deer Contest
What we look like


That sound like a great hunting site or what?

So why don't you start a thread relating to equipment or hunting? I would also add the times sitting around the fire at hunting camp are as important as the hunt.
24.) luv2bowhunt - 12/01/2014
And what will happen if I do?

1 or 2 will respond about whatever the topic is, then it will turn into something else, then anyone that was interested will stop reading. Then crookedeye will talk to himself for 27 posts.

Same as it ever was.
25.) luv2bowhunt - 12/01/2014
Today is opening day of rifle season and I'm stuck working on a big bid. No wonder I'm pissed off.
26.) Swamp Fox - 12/01/2014
I still haven't determined if our lurkers are new people or old guys who just don't want to participate any more, for whatever reason. Although I resisted the notion for a long time, I think we lost more of the old guys permanently than I had imagined. It's probably past time we just let it go and get okay with talking to ourselves, LOL.

As CE would say, "It is what it is."

I understand your point. I'm not convinced people stop reading the posts because crookedeye has a little fun. I enjoy reading his posts even in the middle of gear talks and what-not. Maybe I'm a little warped but I appreciate his humor just like I appreciate yours. I think that separates us from AT and some of those sites where it's just stuffed shirts talking about how much they know.

I've looked at some other sites over the last few months and it's not much different in other parts of the globe.

And then there's the fact that a lot of the hunting topics on more active sites make my eyes roll up in the back of my head, so I don't think we're doing so badly around here in some ways, LOL.

A snapshot in time. Just a week ago, I put some information out there on carrying your bow to stand. Swampy constantly is relaying information on stands, harnesses, etc.

I completely changed my harness system based on his information. The information is there, it's just whether people are interested in learning new things.
30.) Swamp Fox - 12/01/2014
Just an observation about my own habits: Sometimes I'll think of a topic and then talk myself out of posting it because I know it won't get any replies even from guys who might not know/care much about the topic but who I wouldn't mind hearing from.

I'm probably not going to post "How do you carry your backpack in with your climber?" as you see often elsewhere (and apparently that topic gets a lot of traffic from 20-somethings on the most active sites) not that I don't like new ideas but because "Can't you figure that out for yourself?" LOL

On the other hand, "What is your dream rifle?" or "Here's what happened to me in the woods today" isn't worth the effort vs. the response I anticipate.

I could post a whole lot more hunting/outdoor gibberish than I do, but I talk myself out of most of it.

Similar to what Luv2 said about his mock scrape project. I'd like to hear about it, but I can see why one might not want to type up a report or pose a thoughtful question just for the few goobers around here.

I was going to go to all the trouble, complete report about it, but I was thinking after you and bluecat read it, who's really going to care. Not worth it really.
33.) Swamp Fox - 12/01/2014
Think of your legacy. Do you want to be known as the guy who didn't post much, or the guy who cleared away all the fog and veils of mystery enveloping numerous outdoor topics...
34.) luv2bowhunt - 12/01/2014
I want to be known as the unknown, we thought we knew but never knew much about really.........you know?
35.) Swamp Fox - 12/01/2014
So you're a little like Russia, according to Churchill:

"...a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma."


Hmmm....Deep.


Come for the hunting tips, stay for the psychoanalysis...

Is this place great, or what?


:wink

Yea , epic, makes me beg to post . See I just did.
38.) Deerminator - 02/03/2015
Most of us have worked out all the kinks in our archery equipment and hunting styles.
We've known each other for what :cf: 10 years or better.On 3 different forms. So we're socializing a lot.
I'd love to visit all the homies. do a hunt or a fishing adventure.
And just like the outdoor TV shows and magazines how many times do ya go over the same topics. ( gets boring pretty fast )
That must be why advertising and product endorsement is flooding the magazines and shows.
Many of us used to go to sport shows for all the good deals that were to be had.-----now it's not worth the parking fee to go.
If anyone wants an archery question answered or a tip on shooting or anything really, all they have to do is ask.
39.) ARCHERXP - 02/03/2015
So when is the get together? Let's have it in Colorado or Wyoming ;)
40.) Deerminator - 02/03/2015
wE REALLY SHOULD TRY TO PLAN SOMETHING.( stupid cap lock )
41.) Swamp Fox - 02/03/2015
Well, as everyone should know, [B]most[/B] of you are welcome anytime at Camp Swampy. :wink There's something at least good all the way to awesome going on almost every month of the year. No elk hunting, though. LOL

I still say we should talk JB into inviting us down to La. to eat crawfish and help him finish his camp. :wink
