re: 2016-2017 OB Waterfowl Shootout Thread *Update 1/16*

I understand that but I think you're being a little full of yourself to pretty much say oh I work harder for my birds therefore the guys with the easy "guided" hunts shouldn't be allowed in this competition. Some people don't have the time to go scout for birds and then pull a basically all nighter on public land to get their fill. I'm not talking about myself here, but more so the people who do partake in guided hunts who you seemingly want to eliminate from this thing. And as far as I'm concerned, guided hunts aren't successful but 50% of the time anyway, regardless where you go. There aren't any stakes in this game so who really gives a shite if someone goes to Canada or not, but I guess if majority feel that way, then take a vote for next year and make it happen. Personally, I've seen this shootout go down in quality from year to year (I'm not doing it any god :lol), so I'm thinking it should just be changed to a general season wide waterfowl thread where we can just post pictures, discuss, etc without getting too much into the competition of it all. Just my .02


eta: guides don't do a damn thing that you or I can't do on our own. They just have the land and the birds (sometimes)
