Title: I Just Had to Say This
Post by: allaboutshooting on April 20, 2015, 06:52:35 PM
Hunting sites come and go. Some get started with a real "bang" and then fizzle.

Old Gobbler has stood the test of time. Is there a secret to its success? Yes, there is. It's because it's a friendly place to visit. Conversation is civil and helpful. New members are welcomed. Questions are answered.

Noone is ridiculed. We may prefer one choke tube over another or have had better results with one brand than another but we understand that for what it is, just our experience.

Most of us really like to communicate with each other. We share our experiences without bias and try to help our brothers who inquire about what may work best in their guns.

OG
is a great site and I for one feel very fortunate to be a member of such a great group of turkey hunters.

Thanks,
Clark

Perhaps it's because we are more, ahhh, more mature.

Been here a very long time, witnessed some super things, read some very interesting posts, learned a pile of stuff, and to tell you the truth there is no better site anywhere then here. The effort Shannon and Annie put into this place is unreal. The call makers are phenomenal and the hunters allow all of us to relive their journeys. No fuss....no muss attitude of its members will continue to bring newbies from afar!

Agree best site out there. As a matter of fact I have actually not told some people I know about this place because I know they will litter up the enviroment.

Keep the great posts and info coming.

I agree 100% Clark and i think a lot of it has to do with the rules / standards that the moderators set and expect,so kudos for that.  I am on another forum and the people on there will jump all over new guys for asking questions about getting started or asking info about places.  I appreciate how the guys on here are so welcoming and understanding.   Thanks to the mods and the members.

I will echo what others have said, "well said Clark".  I couldn't agree with more.

I have a hard time logging on to archery talk anymore, it's just ppl bashing other ppl for pages and pages.

It's truly a pleasure to come on her and converse with all of you!

I'm with you!  The length of time between my logins on AT are getting farther and farther apart.  Great Job again Shannon.

Mixed feelings. On one hand, I have enjoyed the conversations and learning a ton about turkey hunting. On the other hand, I have gotten a lot less work done in the last year or so because of this place. Addicted!

Definitely the best hunting forum on the web. Spend 99% of my web time on this forum. Some forums have all kinds of bashing & foul language. Other sites could learn a lot from the way this site is run. Big thumbs up to OG for running a friendly & clean forum.

Best site by a wide margin--no doubt. I know of one site that was recently shut down---for lack of activity--they say.
