How do you feel about teaser posts?
What say ye about these? The seasons are barely in and they are starting to crop up. Personally I think they get old real quick. If you are going to put up a teaser, it should be followed up by the actually pix and story within 12 hours, but no sooner than 4 hours. If you are going to post sooner than 4 hrs you can wait and make it one post.

With no offense to anyone who's posted these prior.....what I don't give much time to is post where the actual shooter isn't a member (i.e brother's cousin, guy I know, etc...). I say with no malice that if I don't at least know they're a member.......I don't share in any excitement for their kill.

Teasers suck and the only acceptable teaser is one created by someone other than the person shooting/looking for the deer. Even then the thread creator better be getting regular updates via text or phone and posting them up.
There is a reason women are normally the ones called teases. Too much teasing is grounds for severe sack punching and man card revokation.

RE: How do you feel about teaser posts?
Anything that is amusing, I highly encourage. But to be totally honest, I don't even give a damn if they write the "story" to follow-up on the teaser. Just show me some pictures dammit. I just like looking at the pictures. That's why I prefer Penthouse over Romance Novels. I'm shallow and superficial like that. I usually "try" to read the story, but if drags on or starts to get me feeling like I'd rather be slamming my fingers in a car door, then I just scroll on down to the pics. Who am I kidding? I look at the pics first.
As an aside - I just inserted the word "sack" into each of your usernames:
[ul][*]Rybosacker[*]G-Sack[*]Huntingsack[/ul]
I would probably become "quiksacker."
Oh well... Back to work. [:'(]

I like them, I'm looking to get a deer and then tell the whole story and then pull a rory and not post pics for like a week. unless its a buck, then it goes up and you have to decide the story.

Many people like to see pics of big bucks regardless of who killed it. I shared a pick ofa friend's buck recently and so far it has recieved 71 replies and 1522 hits.
If you also factor in that this was a deer that I had been scouting and hunting myself I don't see why it would be innappropriate in any way.
