I check in about everyday for years now, just don't post much. I haven't even been shed hunting this year Big Holla been too warm to hike! Fishing nearly everyday though.
I still check in almost daily but do not post much anymore, it seemed for awhile that whatever you posted you had someone busting your chops for not thinking like they did, in the past we always worked things out peacefully but it got into a bashing event for awhile and I dont have time for that, I am like Chuck, once a friend , always a friend, I have met several of the members of this site and consider them friends and would share a woods with them any day of the week, but there was some newer names or members if you please that seemed like their total reason to be on the site was to stir the pot! I don't need to sit on here and argue with someone that don't know whether their ass is bored or punched, and that is what it was turning into, I will never "leave" Bowhunting Ohio but I wont argue with someone like children either, I feel this is why alot of the "regular" members arent posting much these days.
no matter the language, everyone understands a punch in the mouth!

I've only been a member since Jan. An yah! I'm one of those new out of state guys. Its been nothing but good fun for me. I have notice those other guys who regularly post have not lately. I haven't Posted in over a week. I've been busy on a scouting trip to Wayne National Forest and surounding area. Just returned last night. Hang in there A-truehunter things will pick-up. When I have time, I will comment on my trip. Maybe you'll be interested. I really just want to say THIS IS A GREAT SITE !!
what goes around, comes around. (I sure do hope so)!!
I have been a member for close to 7 years and it always goes quiet until turkey and then again till about a 2 months before bow starts. Seems about normal to me.
ive hunted my whole life, the rest I just wasted
I actually thought about you as well Will!! With you coming back this past season and falling right back into where you left off I should have used you as the example of members who come back to try to find what it once was. I do think you are right as well as some of the others. We are all getting older and I guess at times realize that time is precious.

You sir have hit the nail right square on the head! I have been waiting to see a post like this, because I knew it was coming. I was active on this sight all year round for years. It most definetly has nothing to do with the time of the year for me. I enjoy the heated debates on hunting topics all year, this is how you learn, but I will not have my character attacked. I will not argue with someone who does not read/understand what has been posted and assumes what they will for the sake of arguement. As you can see, I still check in on occasion, but this is my first time in a long while that I have logged in and most likely will be my last, we'll see. At 57 years old I have no desire to act like a grade school kid.
As the man who started this thread said, "radicalxl and his common sense" I thank you, and I must say it doesn't take much of it to see what has been going on. The last time I thanked someone on here and stated my igorance on a subject, it was misunderstood and it turned around and bit me in the ass. Please understand that the thank you is sincere. To all the guys that have been down sick and hurt, I hope for you all speedy recoveries. Because of my absence, I didn't realize what was going on. for that I apologize.
I have strong opinions about God, Guns, Guitars and Harley Davidsons, I can remain open minded about everything else.

Glad to see you back on, if even for a brief moment, Radicalxl!! I sure wish we could fix this cart that has seemed to lose it's wheel. For those that are out there that have been in Radicalxl's and Buckbuster217 shoes (including you two!!) please take the time to PM me and let me know what really has been keeping you away. I sure haven't been able to put in the time this last year to know what fights are going on and if I ever have given anyone the impression that I don't care or perhaps didn't take enough time to understand what was really wrong/going on please let me know as well.

There are many reasons that traffic on the site will ebb and flow. I know that my usage depends on many things, but the biggest factor for me is time restraints. Sometimes I am just so busy doing other things that I don't have the time to post. I may still take a quick glance at the site and move on to more pressing agendas.
A lot of my time this spring has been split between spring clean up chores at my cabin site and burning a lot of boot leather plotting coon dens on my GPS for next coon season. I bought a new electronic call in January and plan to do a lot of coon calling next winter.
When it comes to opinions on subjects I am very opinionated and believe it stating what I feel. I'm very old school and have drawn many lines in the sand. Sometimes I come across in ways that some people take offense to. But, just because myself and another individual don't agree doesn't mean that we shouldn't be able to communicate our thoughts and move forward from there. I think discussions, even outright arguments, can be a learning experience.
I'm not a big fan of PM, even though at times it has its place. If somthing someone says eats at my core I will usually respond on the forum. Maybe not the best decision, but that is just my style.
I think the forum will be just fine in time. And I think what goes on here has no reflection on what BH does or does not do. Yeah, I miss many of the old regular posters too. But, I feel like they are my friends and hopefully we will cross paths again in the future.
All I have time to type this morning. Work detail in the hills of Carroll County is calling.
I may be opinionated...but, my opinion is the only one that matters anyway.

Well said. I feel and live my life the same way. Maybe that comes with age. I will also add that if I have hurt anyone's feelings, rubbed you the wrong way, Just say so. If an apology is in order I will give it, not on a PM but right on site. We all are on this site because of many things in common ( bow hunting, whitetails, the outdoors, ect,ect) But theres no way we are going to agree on everything.
what goes around, comes around. (I sure do hope so)!!
