Looks like the last thread that he was in 49er was arguing about the check in system

Spy, Bryan doesn't think we are asses. As I remember, one member was particularly rude to him re: Game Check. This was the icing on the cake. I talked with him about a month ago. He was his usual jovial self, but my light-hearted plea for him to come back didn't work.
Haven't checked when he was here last, but I hope he sees this topic and reconsiders.

It wasn't 49'er as I remember.

BSK and Dr. D will return when they feel the need to. Its frustrating when you feel like you are beating your head against the wall all the time.

This is funny, coming from someone who lives in Tennessee.

x2 screw em!!

I blame 49er. I miss BSK and Dr D. They have forgotten more than most know.

you post on boards like this and have a opinion you better have thick hide . lol

way to many take it to personally though .

There are a lot of other biologists on here that people won't listen to. They explain about how to manage property and deer but most don't want to listen or just argue. If they don't want to interact on the forum then so be it. Lots of info you can get for yourself on the grand ol' world wide web.

BSK was a good knowledgeable poster, but we have a few people on here that are ALWAYS right and will just argue to be arguing in the hopes when the other person gives up they have won. For people like BSK that post on multiple sites in the hopes of helping people I can see where someone that continually argues your every point you would just move on..........it is a shame.

lol, my thoughts exactly.

i never cared who was who or what they done . if i disagree i disagree but i'm never closed minded about any thing . at times it takes more than just words to change my mind no matter what he/she may know or how well he is educated , or claims to be .

The above may be true for a lot of people but do you srgue with your doctor when he tells you why you are sick? Do you argue with the mechanic when he tells you why your engine has a knock? Do you argue with you lawyer when he tells you he can save your arse from trouble? I hazard to guess NO. So why is it that when a biologist that has studied and worked with deer (enter whatever species) for several years explains something, he all of a sudden doesn't know what he's talking about?

It's almost like you have to be accepted into the fold around here as a biologist to be taken seriously. The only two I've seen a lack of arguing with is Gobbler and Matt and that seems to be because they pick what topics they get in very carefully. It's a shame actually! I would enjoy more biological talk.

i don't remembering arguing with matt and gobbler so they must know what they were talking about . lol

^^^^ jokingly my point. Not taking anything away from Ted or Matt. I've met them both and both are very smart guys and good at what they do but they aren't the only ones that are. Some of the best deer guys in the country live in AL and swing through here from time to time.

Steve and Bryan can be polarizing at times but that is because of the depth of their understanding of what they are talking about. Believe me I've sat and argued with Steve for hours about study designs and how gather data and so on but science is science and results are results. Once duplicated, proven and peer reviewed I find hard for even an engineer/doctor/lawyer/farmer to argue biological science with a biologist.

This place isn't the only place like this though. I find it is this way with many people. It is one reason I don't miss my old job. It is also why you don't see a lot of consultants either (and the economy).

it's the opinions that they are argued with . they put a opinion out there with nothing to back it up , they need to expect a argument .

If I didn't second guess my doctors I would be dead right now. If I didn't second guess my mechanic I would throw thousands down the drain over the years.
I'm not speaking about the guys your talking about but some of the dumbest people I've ever known have titles and degrees galore.I can remember not to many years ago when the yotes came on the scene we were told they have little to no effect on deer populations.

Agree stalker, but I think the problem wasn't the disagreements just the tone, name calling, cut-n-paste stuff. Those guys are professionals and can't get dragged down by that sort of crap, can't really blame them IMO.
