I'm not here for that. Civility has flown out the window. Kind of my impression also. Eg, Can I use ______ bullet to hunt _______ animal ( fill in whatever bullet/animal combo), and watch the pontificating begin.

We may have to agree to disagree (or you may put me on IGNORE, your choice), but I take exception to that. NRA is the backstabber, IMO. For the record, I am a Life Member since 1997 but I have come to see the truth about the bylaws and who's calling the shots. Don't be the darkness. America will perish while those who should be standing guard are satisfying their lusts.

Folks werent here just to shoot the bull, they were posting to figure stuff out or find answers for stuff they had spent decades scouring sources of information for out of magazines, snail mail groups, penpals etc. The internet started and it was like someone turned the lights on. The next 10 years or so was very heady stuff, thousands of experts and hobbyists came together, every thread was enlightening. The frontier got settled so to speak, then the average guy started turning up in his droves around the late 2000's, what I call 'townies'', fellas who just want to shoot the bull. The next generation of kids or townies logging on dont need to ask all the questions we did- they just run a search...

I hadn't thought of this before, but I think you really are on to something here. Forums allowed very experienced shooters/hunters to share knowledge and some out-of-the-box thinking (light rifles, light for caliber bullets, 243 for elk, Leuoplds suck, etc.) We all benefitted initially for a decade and now things are mostly settled for current technologies. I read much more archived posts than current for info. Lots of the good guys are gone or don't bother posting anymore about '30'06 vs 270 for elk'. The truth angers those whom it does not convince

The trolls and the "my view or die" types - it's not any fun to have a conversation on a lot of Boards. Guys and gals like "Tanner"s age finally graduated, reached their adult-hood, and started out on a life of their own - very few have the patience or grace to welcome a teenage sportsman on here. And, given the copious amount of videos on the Web, I think the younger crowd is drawn to seeing the hunt, rather than talking about. Civility seems be a casualty more often these days. Good the leftist scum pushing experimental vaccines,communism,Biden deserve zero civility. Dog I rescued in January
