[quote="vikingSo why not just say so in the first place?

This is likely to be my last post on this subject, so let me put it this way.
I was 44 in July, so I'm a big boy now, fully grown and almost mature. In my personal experience, forums, email and bulletin boards have made being clever, picking arguements (and worse) and generally name-calling significantly easier than when we used to meet up and communicate face-to-face, and I've got to say that this is a prime example. Easy to tweek my nose via the internet, but what are any of you looking to achieve from this?
I was given an opportunity in terms of this stalking and I quickly posted it here. I'm an advertiser here, I've paid to do that and that's what I did. I didn't post details of the outfitter, the exact location or the names of any of the deer either - it was a quick post to get the information out to the members of THIS FORUM and sure, I could have added much more information, photo's maps, and so on, but I didn't - instead I asked for those interested to PM me - you didn't so I'm guessing you were not interested - but that's what I asked for.
I'm also a member of these other forums too:
Guntrader's Forum
Big Game Hunting Forum
The Hunting Life Forum
Pigeon Shooting Forum
The Airgun Bulletin Board
Real Hunters Forum
Down South Hunting
Texas Hunting Forum
E-Hunting Forum
Hunting Sportsman Forum
Hunting Chat
Deer Hunters Club
Alaska Hunting
Goose Hunting Chat
If anyone would care to take a look, you'll soon find my posts there, but you won't find one relating to this opportunity as I only posted it here - this is where I like to hang out and since I've put my 'MONEY WHERE MY MOUTH IS' (sorry to shout) this is the only place that I posted it. I then emailed my contact list and very quickly placed the package - done, but you guys had it first.
I've no margin in it, it was a favour for an outfitter and the best I could have hoped for was some happy clients, a greatful outfitter and maybe a bit of venison for myself somewhere along the way - it's not too much to ask, but no, I got this BS instead.
I'm not a fan of having anyone take cheap-shots at my expense and will defend myself and my business to the hilt. You may not appreciate what that means Viking, but you've certainly got my attention and I'm seething this end over it. As a moderator hasn't stepped in here yet, I'm going to retire from this and leave you lot to discuss it further should you wish to, I don't have anything positive to add now and just wish I hadn't bothered.
If my business is going to be continually regarded in this light by the members here then I'm clearly in the wrong place and will simply defend myself and my business from you guys by going somewhere else - easy, it's a big world folks, bigger yet online, so I'm not exactly limited in terms of hunting websites to support.....
I've stalking in Wiltshire as I mentioned - it's £65 / day plus a token amount for the livestock - again I'm talking about Doe culling so it's cheap. That's what I've been asked for by several members of this site - and when I find and deliver it - I'm slaughtered for it.
Not happy with this at all.
