In hunting, most have a mentor and some have none. For many a resource like this forum could be a big help in getting started in the sport. Most of the time people have asked general questions about WMAs and their prospective opportunities as a NEWBIE, only to be treated like a seasoned hunter that's asked for GPS coordinates to where you've killed birds repeatedly. Heck, awhile back an active duty soldier got treated like this when he had asked simply if a WMA was worth his trip, shameful if you ask me. Don't get me wrong, I get it, I understand... I was brought up in the culture of never seeing and never hearing, but treating a newbie with basic questions like he's Daniel Boone that's got a key to your private lease, little over the top. Its greed and being pious for some at the same time, personally can't wait to take a kid hunting again and other folks that haven't been. Don't want to share or help someone, fine, but don't shame and degrade them when they're looking for a pointer like all did at some point.
