Thread: How far away was the last deer you shot???

around 30 metres. Had just carried back a yearling to the 4wd and a second one was standing behind some scrub looking at me wondering what I was doing

I would expect better standards.
And the topic of banning is very inconsistent.

a self confessed god botherer .pray tell what a persons religious or moral stances have to do with this topic .sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander .I also thought NO religion. Doesnt show a lot of compassion to some on here either ,and whilst richard craniums continue to thrive in media land Ill continue to tp come down hard on em if and when i see fit and im certainly not alone in that.

Have just looked at Micky Duck's two polls. They ask where is POA on body, and what was last range for deer? I cannot see a problem with either poll.

Dan, Gimp et al - there is no serious issue here. May I offer an experienced manager and veteran site member piece of advice for you - don't sweat the unimportant stuff, and don't fuss over differences of opinion - even from yours. Healthy. Its a good site - respect the differences that arise. Remember to manage with a light hand..

Yes bring old Micky back pronto... He's a good bloke and has contributed plenty to this very good site over many years.

Thankyou Mike (mudz)

hark the voice of commonsense and reason.cmon team its the festive season sit back take a deep breath and let the rest of the stress warts hum whilst we chill.

Being a bit naughty doesn't make a good person like MD a bad person, but rules are rules. Im sure he gets that.

Yeah he's been poking a mod for many months, finally got what's coming.
Hopefully he comes back a changed man and doesn't feel the need to dribble on every thread.

Problem is if no one chips in / comments you ain't got a forum, what makes this forum interesting is learning about others opinions. MD has been great value, an asset to this forum.

Pray tell......
Micky claims to follow a certain "culture",and I have no issue with that.
Usually people who follow that "culture" don't climb in to conversations with abuse and bad language. Micky has been inclined to do so.
I'm actually a bit surprised he hasn't had a tune up before now.
And I reckon when he gets back there'll be a few if us in for a lashing haha.

Forums are made up of widely diverse individuals . If they werent, then Forums would simply be circle jerks.

Differing opinions make for interesting discussions. Thats why we are here . We dont have to agree with everyone else but everyone else is entitled to their opinion.

Theres been a whole lot of good contributors who find themselves no longer here for various reasons , and the Forum is the loser in that.

Your last sentence displays your opinion

You have that opinion because you have never known the whole story

Accept that and you won’t try to understand how this place runs.

Your only seeing it through a very very small window

Oh no - I know full well how this place runs. Ive been around longer than you may think.

I made some observations and you got defensive . Thats fine - thats called a discussion. Thats what Forums are for .

I see life through the panorama sized windows.

as i said before my understanding is religion or its variants have no place on here per the rules so why do you keep alluding to his religious beliefs or are you some sort of self appointed censor.your last sentence is nowt more than inflammatory speculation

If you are running a forum you cant win. One lot will get upset because there is too much moderation. Another lot will get upset because you didnt do anything and they dont enjoy the experience of seeing an argument, or being called a name.

Someone else will stay in the rules, technically, but be very good at passive aggressive insinuation that really ranks people up. You will give them a "holiday" and thier friends will get upset at the unfairness. Others will just ruin threads by talking shit thats not within the flow of discussion.

I got a holiday a month back for something I dont feel was necessarily a correct interpretation of what my intent was. So be it. No ones perfect and its not the first forced break Ive been given on forums. Even ones I moderated. Hell I banned myself for a while.
Micky will be back. He wont change. Like the rest of us he has his nature and that brings good and bad depending on how you see things. If you have an issue with something someones said, ask a mod and let them decide. They are paid a fortune to do the job. make them work.

On further investigation I find youre an admin /moderator and instructions are
"I must listen to you" .I withdraw the above comments .discussion finished .Im away to more important business

I'm not a good forum contributor and only post if I have to
just incase I might say something stupid and time but I try help other when or where I can.

Other forum is dying because lack of post (good/bad) and feel like a circle of mates forum only,
but member like MD & others (quite a few of them) are making us new member feel welcome and want to contribute,
his input weather good/bad is better than no input.

Yes, I only seeing this "MD thing" through a very very small window
I'm sure there is lot more to it and complicated for admin /moderator.
