Does the skull only stay visible on that thread or do they stay in your sig? Can you rack up dozens of these things?
And I believe IllinoisBow only deserves half of one due to excessive spelling errors (sorry Bro)

It's definitely more than just the size of the rack. It's the hours you've logged glassing fields, staring at topo maps andtalking to your hunting partners. It's the rain-soaked clothing, the miles on your boots, the sweat in your hat - it's your fingernails chewed into the meat,the gunmetal on your release worn to silver. It's aboutall the people who said you were nuts for hunting through a downpour - certifiably insane fordriving a half hour after work just to change clothes in the car and hunt for 30 minutes...
It's about going into overtime with a week of archery season to go and your tag feeling ever-so-empty, moving stands, re-hanging, relocating, thinking, relocating some more, and finally pulling the trigger.
That's what brings me back every year. Mynext buck is always my buck of a lifetime. - Quiksilver

But therein is the very reason I'm against a subjective grading and "categorizing" of members. I find nothing earth shattering or moving in that post. It's the same things we all have said, or feel said in a different way. You'll have people that think they'll be judged by their "Attaboys" and will try to become Earnest Hemmingway. Frankly, the amature usually falls flat when he starts to use words he doesn't normally use. And again, it's who's judging the post and the "Literary merit" of these posts. My taste is not yours. I like kill, you like "harvest'. I like 8 point, you like "management buck". I like nice deer, you like trophy buck. I like shooting a doe, you call it QDM. Honestly, most of us are above the need for kudos from the library monitor and a sticker on our homework. I'm past rah rah and have been for many years. You like a post, fine....send him a PM, that's what they're for. If you want to practice sentence struture and hone writing skills, go to the community college and take a class. You want to talk hunting, listen to hunters, be around hunters,.... then pull up a chair and dive in. Don't come in seeking Attaboys because someone likes you. Good Grief Charlie Brown.
