| 1 hunters aren't allowed to give unbiased reviews.
2 we're not allowed to debate or expose the dangerous views of the dem. party.
3 you don't even have to be a hunter or gun owner to call the shots
what is allowed 
?'s about getting in trouble in high school
divorced dad's anonymous
any ann landers type subjects
what's next?a knitting forum?aren't we all supposed to be adult hunters here?"they do have a forum for the kiddies"it's called young bucks.
this used to be such a great site to share info, make friends,have debates and just hang out.i've stuck around through all the BS thinking it will get back on track.
i guess i'll be joining the many others i've talked with in not renewing my 5 years after it's up.
i do wonder though how many current mods,admin, and members even subscribe to buckmasters? | |

| If I see that a topic needs removed, I'll do it. The Campfire Section is open for less serious topics. I have a subscription to Buckmasters, and will renew it when the time comes for renewal. Back on what track?
Non Hunters calling the shots? Enlighten us please? | |

| | I think these are great questions that dec67 has posted here. By the way I moved this to the Campfire Section. It is open for anyone to answer since it appears dec67 has issues with many who post on here and the topics we all choose to have on here. This is a place for learning, for sharing, for discussing. I have and always will stand up for those who get bombarded and will monitor threads just like any of the other volunteer mods and admin do. I do not think that we all have to be gun owners to have the right to use the free forums. I do think we all need to show mutual respect to one another. | |

| Hmmm,what has this site become????
I've been here off an on for 8/9 years,Dobber has been here a year longer than me,Counrtygirl has been here as long as Dobber(Ian)there are were/others as well ,most of all the Canucks have been here forever.
When I first came here the ONLY thing this place HAD going for it was the Chat room,it rocked 24/7 with so many people it was hard to keep up at times,we all did not agree with each other,but yet we did at the same time,WE all agreed hunting was our chosen obession,a passion in our life.Many a time some really good fights broke out,I know I was in several ,but for the most part people did the right thing with each other in here,at times even to their disadvantage.Hmmm and we did it all without Mod's or admin.We policed ourselves as adults,if we knew kids were in the room,everybody was on their best behaviour bar none!
Believe it or not that's what Buckmasters is really all about,first time hunters,new hunters,old hunters ,experienced and inexperienced,all coming together as one,with only one purpose,talking.living hunting.Myself personally I became a life member,because I agreed with what Jackie was doing/trying to do,get KIDS involved,hunters helping those that are really hungry,helping handicapped hunters or terminal childred fulfill a dream to take a deer before they passed way,these are the things Buckmasters and this website Are supposed to be about.The chatroom and now this forum is good folks visiting with other good folks,just like if your friends come by to visit or for a cookout.
Personally I think religion and politics should be FOREVER banned on this site,unless it's directly related to your/our rights as hunters being taken away.Ie...ammo bans,stuff like that,or a heads up news alert.I aslo realize that evryone thinks their party is the best,either Dem or Rep,the truth is really simple neither is better than the other,They are ALL con atrists an liars,thats why they call them poltians.
As far as the debates go,yes they have to be monitored...why because some folks on here just don't have ANY common sence at all and have to be told to let it go.As far as the Ann Landers and the other silly things being refered to,yes some are down right dumb,and they should be asked of friends via Pm or email.But again you/we get right back to that good folks coming to visit on the front porch thing.Most people only ask friends for advice or people who think people are their friends.
Forum for the kiddies????I must have missed that one somewhere's.
Hmmm,knitting?I don't think that one would work here,but sewing would work for me.I'd be gratfull if some of the ladies on here could teach me to sew without pinning my finger or thumb to my cloths,I don't know what you spend on your camo,but I ain't cheap when I buy mine,so sewing could work for me it sure would bet throwing them away!
Hmmm,calling the shots,thats easy,call the office an ask to be a mod,it's listed in the index page in the magzine,they even have a 1-800 number,so it won't cost you a dime.It's called customer service | | | |

| I have a member of Buckmasters for almost 15 years and I got involved on this forum a couple of years back.I watched it grow into this site.
I have meet several friends here and would say there is alot of info here that is helpful to new hunters or those looking to get into hunting.
Friends ask friends for advice from time to time and it doesn't always involve hunting,that's why there is the "Around The Camp Fire",for those questions of that sort and the less serious nature.
I also agree that poltics should be left out,unless the issue directly involves our rights as hunters and gun owners.
As far as religion,God should always be involved in everything we do.Not saying we should force a particular religion on anyone.And just because we don't agree with someone's opinion,there is no reason to call the other person names or talk down to other parties.
As far as kids go,they are hunters to and have the right to vist this forum to learn from the experince and info shared here. | |

| | this is the off season and it slows down.I for one think you DEC67 have a problem with something just blaming it on something.I have been a member for 16 years.I have seen many come and go.I have read some very good posts from you.this is not one of them sorry.Sometimes people don't take enough time to think where it should be posted,since you are perfect and don't make mistakes I'm sure you haven't made this mistake.You just need to get over it.renewing membership is your choice do what is right for you. | | | |

| We can't, as moderators or admins, let people get bashed or name called for having a difference of opinion. That is our responsibillity to BuckMasters. So at times, as unfortunate as it may or may not be, we have to lock down topics to try to keep it civil here. Topics involving politics, religion and the like can create a hostile environment. As a moderator, as much as I may disagree with a persons views, we can't just sit back and do nothing. So at times, we have to pull the plug on a topic. I try to give warnings before it gets to that point. 9 times out of 10, people just keep on pushing to see how much they can get by with, or how far they can push us before we have to lock it down. If a topic gets locked, blame the people who are the ones breaking the rules. As with most forms of goverment, when a few people mess up the majority has to pay, well sorry to say but there can't be a whole lot of difference here.
It's real simple, debate, but debate without throwing insults, or calling names. This is directed to everyone, not just Dec67. | | | |

| Its the same cycle, over and over again, as you can see there are a few people who have been coming to Buckmasters for over 9 years, every few years things are on the down swing, even more so when its not hunting season.

| I just like a place to post pictures of the IL monster bucks and huge longbeards that I kill. (just kidding!!...but I did get a pretty big turkey this morning....still waiting on that truly monster buck)
Seriously...I love to hunt and it is nice to be able to share your success with the world. I would imagine that is one thing that all of us on this website have in common we love to hunt....and the similarities end there. As far as politics, values, wealth, and religion and race we are probably pretty diverse group and probalby don't agree on everything or anything. We someone posts something on politics or gun control I sometimes post my opinions when I know it is going to ruffle a few tail feathers. However, I am open to a good debate if people can keep it clean...but some people just don't understand that there are people in this world that don't share there same beliefs.
Ultimatly I am going to stay away from those topics in the future...(or try to) and just use this site to stories and pictures realated to whitetial/turkey hunting. I like the people and it is good to be able to share with people who enjoy the outdoors. Buckmasters forums arn't perfect but neither is anything in this world. | | | |

| | xrayer98.. Ok.. I'll give you this one. Sometimes change does not seem good or for the better in some circumstances. I have to agree with Bobbie Jo though and just go with the flow most times. Sometimes is not the change itself that seems awkward to me but rather my thoughts of the change that make it seem not so good.. so have learned to see change as an opportunity go grow and learn. Changes and learning to accept them have made me a stronger person for it. | |

| I am saying sometimes it does not always SEEM good but I just make the best of it. Nothing else to do but make the best of it and just move on.... I try not to dwell on what once was... and just forge ahead. I don't like holding onto the past. It makes the present never seem to be good enough. When in fact sometimes what is right in front.. even the changes are good after all. Sometimes.... like I said... it is not the change itself that SEEMS awkward.... but to me rather my thoughts of the change that make it seem not so good.
What this all means is simply.... I can either choose to think negatively or think positively about change.... I choose to think positively. | |
