I liked Shrapnel's posts, I got the sense that he was tiring of what this forum has become. If Mule Deer does the same, there won't be much left, not much hunting and shooting content They could rename it more accurately , something more trendy . In hunting camp ,around a fire, we talk hunting, look over each others firearms, swap a few lies , stretched out for effect and sip some good whiskey.
In hunting camp , the hunters are people with names in the phone book and if you become belligerent , lazy, overboozed you won't come back and it won't be your choice. My little old opinion, I wish this forum was moderated more closely, No room for rudness and baseless political rants.And much, much less of it. John Barsness it a treasure here, and others also -no reason this sinking ship cannot be righted .

If you don't like what's posted or how the site is moderated, leave. Nobody will even know. There are thousands of posters here and you've been around what? Two, three years and have posted less than a thousand times. Thanks for your input. Now STFU and go to Dem Underground. They have plenty of mods there I've heard.
Birdie, FB and crisco do-wopping in synchrony, the Flave and Shrap rile them even in absentia. That is truly hilarious. LMAO

Ironic coming from you
You’re just mad because I exposed your scam selling Norincos to sleazy rich guys with foreign accents, slicked back hair, gold chains and mirror shades (no not you, them).
I ain’t said a word about Flave one way or the other. Dunno what troubles the man, if it does.
If I pictured Miker, it would probably be more like "Merman" on Spongbob.
Naaah I figure the rank NV Capitalist keeps hisself active enough that he could STILL kick most of our a$$es, but hey “Danger” is my middle name 😎

Sir, you talk gibberish. Maybe it draws in folks that get some thrill insulting others...I don't for sure, but this is a forum keyed on hunting a shooting- not politics and conspiracy theories .I would hate to see J.B leave here, his is a classy guy, perhaps the best writer around, and he chooses this forum.
You have no room to talk about growing up. Ya old fart.
Hey Toby/Paul/Magdaddy!!! How'd I do? I've been training for my stint as Toby and I figure asking the master of the position for tips would help me get up to speed.

I like Shrapnel's posts as well, he is a man of great knowledge on guns and history. I think there are a few here that are jealous of Shraps ability to buy whatever guns he wants and they try to make it out to be his fault as in being a braggart.
I'm glad he posts his finds up as I wouldn't have learned the things I've learned without him doing so.
That said, i'm glad this forum isn't moderated, we are all adults and should be able to figure things out and as an unmoderated forum the Campfire is not for pussies, if you don't like whats posted go somewhere else on the board. lots of forums and subforums to sift through.

I would agree that the nature of subject matter on the Hunters Campfire has shifted during the past few years and that the general tone of posts/discussions has become less erudite. This may be because some of the early key Campfire stalwarts have left (death, disinterest, etc.) and their previous heavy influence is missed, it may be due to the tenor of social change as exemplified by younger/newer/less experienced participants, it may simply be due to the natural evolutionary degradation of most social groups - who knows? I do know that some very excellent and enjoyable guys no longer spend much time here and have shifted to a Facebook venue to continue their association one with another. Not having managed to do that with them, I appreciate their reasons and what they are doing.
Having been mostly a solo hunter/fisherman for the past 30 years I would not know from direct experience, but maybe the tone and tenor of discussions while sitting around actual campfires in 2019 are greatly different than they were 20 or 30 years ago. If so, it would be no surprise that this forum has shifted as well.
I seem to prefer the old ways and those in-depth discussions about firearms, reloading techniques and successes, performance on game and targets, where and how to hunt, etc., etc. - and have never appreciated the blowhards, the show-offs who brag and post voluminous photos of the latest great acquisitions (which actually are far exceeded by humble folks who own far better and nicer stuff - and know more), and don't appreciate the foul-mouthed wise guys who specialize in put-downs, insults and efforts to make themselves feel more important by denigrating someone else. Juvenile stuff. But, this place is a reflection of real life.
Fortunately, there is very good info and discussion on some of the other Forums here. Even more fortunately, through this medium I have met and grown to know and enjoy some first-class people - we manage to get together face-to-face and the richness and gratification of real time with such genuinely fine and very knowledgeable people is the best result of my time here. So, many thanks.
Oh, so he’s too busy pulling off friggin’ awesome hunts, like creeping on his belly for a couple of hours to take a bedded down pronghorn with an antique lever gun.
Two miles from the truck, I wonder how he got it back.
This from the stud who bicycled the west........
by strapping his bicycle to a bike rack on a motor vehicle.
Obama was that way also.
