It’s time!

[Cut N Run]

Thanks for the wisdom and good will you've shared here.  Respect!

Who in the world is gonna be handling the BadonkaDeke field staff duties around here?  Think about the children...

You do you.  This whole world is changing & not necessarily for the better.  Please know that I appreciate you.

Good Hunting, be safe, & have fun!

Jim

I said it via pm and I will say it again.  You are one of my favorite posters, both for your knowledge, self deprecating humor and passion for turkeys.  This site will be lessened without your presence.  Only site I have ever bothered to join after reading more than a few and it is easily the best.  Maybe after a brief rest you will realize you miss it.  If not, I am glad to have conversed with you on here.

There will be a whole generation coming up who knows nothing of the Badonkadeke.  Think of the children!

Hey GW, I just listen to Toby Keith don't the old man in! Don't let him in...

[Kygobblergetter]

Truly hate seeing this. Always appreciated your humor and helpful insight. With that said I'm not sure I can blame you... it seems like it's all fights on here now days. Maybe just the time of year... everybody is getting antsy for spring

I am going to speak for myself, probably 98% of the members here. Your resignation is not accepted Sir. You are a major contributor here and your opinions are well received and respected. All kidding aside, please reconsider, there are plenty of us, myself included , that enjoy and respect your commentary and wisdom. It would be a shame and a waste of a sharp wit and calming influence on our still great forum. God Bless you and I hope you decide to stay and play. If not, enjoy what you have earned Brother. Z

Well, it's official. The results are in with more coming. We love ya, and need ya to stay! Hope you consider!

I thought I'd make one more comment, before you take your last bow. I understand and wish you peace and good health. Our souls are tormented enough with life, when our joy become our pain it's time to cut something loose. I was a member on a fishing forum for a longtime and one day a political post showed up and people just went off on each other. I deleted my profile and never went back. Farewell,good buddy. Now I know what this emoji means....Guesswho riding off into the sunset 

[Sir-diealot]

Don't go, we would indeed miss you. I enjoy your posts even if we do not always agree on things. I agree there has been a change here and I put it at the time Covid started, lot of people started that just wanted to argue, but we also got some good ones.

[Bowguy]

Brother I truly wish you well and share some of the sentiments you stated in your thread but there's more think like you and it's important your thoughts and ideas are heard. Seems you've made a decision.i wish you the best. Thanks for all your input

Thanks everybody for the pm's, kind words, chuckles and memory joggers.   WWOSBD, now there's a blast from the past.   Badonkadeke, what else needs to be said   Eggshell mentioned some of the people I run with, those people do good to bend over and tie their own shoes.

Thanks for all the pms, if I missed replying to any of them it was an accident so will thank you here. 

The forum does have a lot of great members.  I think I'll leave my account open but just step away.  I'll sit on the bench in case someone needs a pinch hitter.   I'm not as fast as I used to be, but I can still hit dingers.   I'm thinking about changing up my meds, maybe that will get my head back to abnormal.  I think I may reduce both the red and blue pills by one, and add an extra green one.  I think the blue ones may be the issue.

Take care, stay safe and enjoy yourselves.

Does this mean I can take potshots at you without having to worry about any coming back?  Now, that's a concept I can get into!

Of the many great members that post to this site there are a few that I hold in the highest of regard. You are one of those members. I look forward to reading your responses in a post.

Salute!

Old Turkey Hunters never die they just fade away!

  Stick Around--  I had to walk away from Teaching Martial Arts after learning  in the same School. Took 13 years for the Burnout to happen. And,I walked away.  Some time away and back at it-  42 years now.
    Take a Break and come back.
