no missing the point here

Please clarify the point then? From where I'm sitting looks like a guys was trying help and show a "how to" to help any one that might have a problem or might be confused. And he just happemed to work for the employer"x" while someone else gets butt hurt for being compensated for the said "how to" since he runs the show around here and will probaly get further into the butt hurt and start swimg the mystical ban hammer around as its been called. Looks to me empolyer "x" doesnt pay these guys to put stuff on here looks like they do it out of kindness and enjoyment for the community and as a group in a whole. Looks like someones has there foot in there mouth right about now. Last time matt left it was like everyone didnt know what do with there questions then and looked like a panic was fixen to arise and he showed back up and all is well again,everyone sleeps at night again....and now you want them to pay you for the stuff they put on here trying to be helpful to the others thats members here? Sounds like something hilary and obama would do. Running all the good company off looks like

let me guess

when matt left the world went dark, i can honestly say i see some of the ones that said they would go elsewhere actually do it. when you have a good thing you dont go off and screw it up but that none of my business

Got mine, thanks.

You're right. It's not.

Possibly the gayest comment in aldeer history.

Its not about asking for money or getting them to pay up.

It is about them being official or not being official. Matt Brock and Nighthunter and the others are nice guys. But them posting as "official" DCNR reps during their off-hours does not mean anything more than me telling you the price of a bushel corn (which I know nothing about), but I can sound "official" about it.

The DCNR has had for many years made it a very official policy of not being an active participating member of Aldeer, and the reason being is that they are scared of talking and dealing with the regular public face-to-face directly.

But doing it indirectly, through Matt and Nighthunter, seems good-enough for the guys in Montgomery. When it comes time to give you a ticket because you misunderstood something you read on Aldeer from an "un-official-but-protrayed-as-official" source ends up biting you in the field and the courtroom do not complain to me.

So if the DCNR wants to use Aldeer as a place to communicate hunting regulations, which seem to change at a moments notice these days, then they need to man-up and do it officially. Otherwise, they need to go away and let us continue to bitch about what a horrible job they are doing.

i want to express my thanks to matt, jermey, and jon for they work they put into to making this a great state to hunt in. i value your opinion and answers to questions asked related to hunting and fishing rules and regs.

i dont see them as posting as OFFICIAL anything. they are posting out of the goodness of their hearts to explain things that you cant get out of a magazine or even a real person at times.

Exactly. Now wouldn't you like something official you could take with you to the field when you got a problem to deal with?

let me rephrase that. they are officials with the DCNR.. what they tell you is what they know to be fact and the law or regulation. whether they are posting at the request of the DCNR or on their own accord is up to them. still if i show another warden the post they answered to stating an answer to a legal question im pretty sure the warden is going to say that is correct

You go for it with "pretty-sure" and tell us how that works out for you.


Sometimes folks got to learn the hard way......

I understand what your getting at with the officially unofficial officials. And i think if taken the way your talking about is wrong IF Montgomery is using it that way BUT I see what they're doing off the clocks on their time as individuals answering peoples questions as from a professional stand point no different then someone asking the landscapers,mechanics, archeologists, trappers, space ship pilots etc.... their professional a pinion on the matter at hand and someone taking it as full blown not other way to do it stand point because joe dirt said it was the way to do it, like the post about army worms someone that was a landscape professional could have told the guy to spray round up on his whole yard and it would take care of his worm problem which it would have because they would have left when there was nothing else to eat because he killed all the grass. And thats how guys should take any adivce given on here as there professional opinion nothing more nothing less, what jon says is good to go for him in cullman might not meet jim bobs definition of the same law two countys over and land billy bob a ticket. Same goes for the other guys if theres any doubt in what there doing they should contact the local green britches and have them explain it to them so both parties are clear on the matter at stake. A good example of this would be a couple years ago when the corn out while hunting became legal had to be "x" yards from the stand and "x" amount line of sight. There was to many "IF'S,BUTT'S AND SQUIRREL NUTS" with that law that it seemed to be how you and green britches interpreted that law on if you was in good standards or getting a ticket. And these boys could give you some good advice on that matter to help clear things up and its was just that advice. But this is just the way i see it some else might see it differently. That's the nice thing about opinions there like ass holes everybodys got one some them just stink

okeedokeee.

Do you have a specific instance that you are talking about when referencing someone getting a ticket from something said by one of our members?

I guess it really doesn't matter. You going to do what you want to do and it is your privilege as one of the owners. I just don't see where any of this is a benefit to the site or it' s members. This site has definitely changed over the years some of it for the good and some of it not so much................

jeeeze louise

Montgomery does NOT tell any employees to get on here on their own time and answer questions, matter of fact they would prefer they NOT get on here.

and not one damn thing any of them has said on here will stand up in court if you get arrested. NOT ONE THING.

Man oh man, if I was Matt, Jeremy, or Jon, I'd never answer another question regarding any thing with the dcnr or regulations.

Who cares if it will hold up in court? Do the vast majority of us not have a better understanding of the laws because of their posts? Sure, somebody might be confused and get a ticket. Tuff titty.... Imagine how many of us would have misunderstandings if Google and the rule book were our only resources.

Skinny, have you ever called a game warden to ask a legal question? How well do you think a non recorded phone call will hold up in court if you misunderstood? Specifically If it's a different game warden........

This whole thing is dumb

Skinny, do you take the same position with jawbone, drew, and all the other guys in law enforcement? They offer a lot of advice that is "unofficial" and wouldn't hold up in court.
