IMPORTANT-YOU MUST READ AND AGREE BEFORE POSTING or USING THE FORUMS
This is a FREE service and private community and we expect a fun, friendly and positive posting patterns in this community. We do not want a complaint or argumentative oriented culture - Please Keep it Fun.
Please use the "Contact Us" link at the bottom of the forums for any and all complaints, issues, looking for someone, and forum type or admin questions. All complaints, argumentative posts, name calling or labeling folks and aggressive posts are unwelcome here. If your post contributes to an argument or defensive behavior it will likely be considered aggressive. Please treat everyone here as if they are your friend.
We are not a public free for all forum and we expect high quality posts from our members. We want the forums fun and packed with pheasant hunting & outdoor information and pertinent facts.
We do not normally ban folks here. We do understand that some will not read these rules and we will give those folks a chance to do so. If you make a statement indicating you may be banned or censored for your post then you very likely will be banned permanently as you indicate by your post that you are purposely violating forum policy.
KEEP POSTS FUN. Please DO NOT use the forums for complaints, issues or problems that can or should be resolved with the manufacturers customer service department or for service complaints. DO NOT use the forums for leverage on your issue or to grind an ax. Never consider ANY information posted as accurate information to base decisions on. That is the reason we do not allow posts that are negative toward any person or business. There are all kinds of motivations to post a negative post that is not accurate and can cause harm and benefit the poster in some way. Our forums would quickly move towards the negative side and we want the forums to be fun and positive for the most part. We reserve the right to edit or delete posts that tend to cause problems. If your post contributes towards steering a thread off topic or in a negative direction you may be put on hold until you agree to correct that behavior in writing.
If you have a question about a post or member you cannot find, please use the "Contact Us" link at the bottom of the forum. DO NOT use the forums for this purpose. You will be temporarily put on hold until you read forum policy if you do.

A few policies we hold important here:
- No Personal attacks on other members. Keep your posts positive and helpful when responding to others.
- No attacks on businesses. We can't always tell what is true and who is just grinding an ax. Therefore no negative comments on business are allowed.
- No unauthorized resources or sharing of domain names. Spamming promoters have forced this.
- No unauthorized phone numbers or e-mail addresses may be posted. Spam promoters have forced this as well.
- No unauthorized commercial or promotional posts. If your post tells you to go somewhere to get a product/service or gives contact info it's commercial. If you use superlative or other terms that appear to be promoting a product/service that's promotional. Use the "Contact Us" link to ask before posting. If you own a business we will be happy to have you as a site sponsor to help keep this site FREE for all users.
- Because some who run a commercial outdoor related business may use others, no unauthorized use of your e-mail address.
- Folks who come here are here to share information about outdoor pursuits, not bash it or whine about it. Keep your posts positive.
- If you have an issue with the way the forum is run, use the "Contact Us" link at the bottom of almost every page. Constructive criticism is welcomed using the "Contact Us" link. It's what helps keep the forums improving. If a post is deleted and you have a question or issue with it, please use the "Contact Us" link for your question or issue. Remember, we may delete a post or topic for any or no reason. We may not agree, but the forums are no place to argue about forum management. Violation of this rule will result in the violator being banned.
- Keep it honest and try to share info as well as receive.
- Most important-KEEP IT FUN!
