the past week or so.....

guys shooting over tamies and happy they kill a sprig...1 sprig
guys shooting over the limit on mergs and proud enough to post a pic..
guys shooting Grebe's
guys shooting a hooded merg and posting a pic in field report..1 merg
guys shooting a single hen mallard and posting a pic in field report
guys shooting a gwt and posting a pic in the field report of 1 gwt
guys cant even spell their screen name.."smamp" "relentous"..????
guys using the term.."mounter" "bull" "stud" entirely too much, just because its a male of the species........
guys that dont know shit about anything, quick to jump the shit of people, even though you dont know shit about anything..these guys really irk me..you know who you are....

I truly believe that 97.3% of you who will read this dont know shit about duck hunting. You set up too close, you sky bust, you shoot mergs without knowing they are mergs, and are just plain idiots.

Congrats to the 2.7% of the actual duck hunters on this site....you know who you are.

OK, I feel better

carry on.

I forgot one...

all you who think you have 20 years duck hunting experience and are only 26..no, you dont.

You have probably 10 years and 10 hopefully learning

Sprig you are a spot on with your analysis.

I am actually embarassed that you came to our State.

It wasn't always like this.

I'm 28. I have 15 years, earned experience.

Anything before that was really "here they come son, shoot, shoot, shoot."

Im 20, I have5 years. Hell, I'm still learning.

If something's on your mind man just let it out.

If you have shot a bunch of birds in your life then i agree. However, if you are a newbie to the sport, you are proud of whatever you killed. I remember my first hoodie along time ago. I thought it was the coolest looking bird i had seen. I can't tell you the last time i shot a merg, however, I've always wanted a pretty drake to sit on a piece of driftwood for the house. Got a buddy that wants to shoot a full plumed spoonie drake for the wall. I remember my first mallard. It was a hen that i called in myself. Picked it up and it had a band. I was on cloud nine till i saw "Call S.C.W.A" on it. It is the only SCWA band on my lanyard because it was my first band and first mallard and a memorable hunt with a buddy. I am one of the most anti scwa people you will ever meet, but it graces my lanyard for that reason and if anyone thinks less of me for that, so be it. My only thing is, feel the posters out before you start bashing. Teach the novice, don't turn them off.

Other than that, I agree 100%

Sprig could have beat Newt this past weekend. I would have voted for him.

It has slowly turned in the past 10 years. The mighty tool we have here to share good info and good times is used to spread stupidity. I can deal with the stupidity but when the piling on of the hateful remarks is where I tend to blow the fuse. Kind of like internet gangs, punks on the site and I bet still a little wet behind the ear from the cunt juice from their momma.

There are times I wish JAB and Rock would just pull the plug.

I have only been duck hunting 3 years now. I just try to do the opposite of what I read on here and it has worked out pretty good.

Has a private "invite only" forum ever been tried?? I know there are other sites that have them.

My dad used to hunt sparkleberry in the 70's when they shot duck out of barrels high atop the cypresses. I always wanted to go as a young man and my dad told me when i was old enough to get my own boat and go by myself, i could. I have never shared a duck blind with him, which i hope i can change. I started when i went off to college. I knew nothing about it other than the mystique of it. Had an old guy that worked with me at Agri supply that took me. I was that rubberhead guy that knew nothing, but someone took the time to show me little here and there. I knew not to set up close to people, not from teaching, but i didn't want people to do it to me so i didn't do it to them. If my hole was taken, iwent to plan b, c and so on. I've had all plans ruined and went out away from people and just enjoyed a sunrise. look forward to every opening morning, its either duck season or prepping for duck season for me. Aask my wife and all my buddies.
