I actually found this place back in college (2000 or 01) while looking for deer pictures.
I spent most of my time on a turkey hunting forum, but that place pretty much died thanks to one A-hole who chased everyone away.
So I lurked for about 4.5 years checking back every now and then and then finally joined up. I wish I would have just started and kept with this place. I remember the days of when it was a pictures only place. I even signed up for an account, but in those 4.5 years I forgot my login info...
