RE: Street Cred???
I have learned lots of things from lots of people, or at least gotten good advice. Shed33, Schultzy, GregH, and yes GMATT has given me some insight on a few things. IAhuntr gave me some sound advice, many others as well, but those stick out right away.

There are 3kinds of people on this site: People who hunt deer successfully, people who hunt deer unsuccessfully, and people who talk about hunting deer.
I don't have much trouble separating the wanna-bees from the real deal.To a man, I'd say that once you scoop the cream off the top, you'll find a pretty large group of guys who will killnice deer no matter where they go.These are people who aren't afraid to wear out a set of boots, who make their own luck. They know the animal they're after, they know how it behaves, they know how to hunt it, and have proven that they can do it their way - even in the face of adversity.
I'm not gonna list them all, b/c I know I'll leave people out, andthere are a ton of guys on here whose opinions I value. I've been fortunate enough to be teamed up with a lot of 'em over the past3 years.

Folks should pay more attention to what is being said than who is saying it. Some folks type a novel that doesn't say **** and others can convey a novel in one sentence

I mean really, just because I can type without looking at the keyboard and can use more than one or two fingers when doing so doesn't mean I know any less about archery
.I'm also not posting from work so I have more time to compose a post.

Besides the 25 point bonus for prison.
And I get dookie for being fast enough to be shot at and missed ,W.T.F.

So Jim, I tally your at 445? Please correct me if going to jail twice counts twice. I wasn't sure.

Prison is for extended periods of time for more serious felonies. If you get sentenced to more than 6 months you are usually going to prison. Also I believe prisons are state funded, not local or county funded like most jails. I have been told if you are going to do time for more than a few months prison is actually preferred because the amenities and freedoms are better than what you would get in jail.
When you hear someone say they have done "hard time" it means they have been to prison.
And there are different levels of prisons depending on how severe your crime was. From minimum security for non violent crimes to maximum security for repeat violent offenders that have been deemed a threat to society and will be there the rest of their lives.
