Just a few things.
First, I understand that we are in the dog days of winter, and we are all chomping at the bit for open water. Many of us are getting anxious, frustrated, and flat out cooped up! Due to this, I have been getting quite a few "reports" and "complaints" from multiple members. All I will ask is that we all try extra hard to be somewhat civil through the rest of winter. I know this can be a bit of a good ole boys club, but we don't want to be scaring away new members.
Second, I am seeing far too many posts that are borderline political, but then become full blown political. Please, if your post/thread is intended to be political, put it in the political section. Contrary to some beliefs, the vast majority do not come to an outdoors site for the political fights. Most outdoor sites don't allow it at all, and I would prefer to not have to go that route.
Third, I would like to thank everyone that has made the adjustment to the new site, and stuck around. I know change can suck, so I get it. In the end, I feel like we have a better product for you guys to enjoy.
We still have one of the best collection's of outdoorsmen in the upper midwest. I'm proud to be a small part of that.
