It is all water over the dam as they say. But, sometimes to much water makes for erosion.
Stan brings up a pet peeve of mine. I have friends and relatives that I've hunted with over the years. What troubles me is that these guys talk a big game, but spend very little time actually in the game. I, for the most part, tend to like guys that I know are as obsessed with hunting as I am.
I believe for the most part guys are excited about bowhunting more just before the season opens than they are three weeks after it starts.
This is why you read posts about not being able to sleep a few days or weeks before the season opens. Then a few weeks into the season these same guys have lost the passion and for the most part throw in the towel.
This is why the site has very little traffic on the off season in my opinion. And lets me honest, folks have other things to do in life also. Take Chuck, for instance. If Jenna has baseball tournaments in the fall he can't tell her, sorry I can't go to your game, I'm going deer hunting. Instead he goes to the game and hunts when he can. Very commendable of him in my opinion.
On another thought, I believe sites like facebook are detremental to open forums such as this one. Those sites allow for only the folks you want reading your posts, so everyone can have their little clique like they had in high school. Your all friends, and nobody is going to call you out on a statement you make. On a site like this, we will never all be friends. Sad to say, but true.
All sites like this will ebb and flow day to day.
I wish I had ideas to make it better, but at the moment I do not.
