I have something to share with you all.

[houndnem]

I think you guys made your opinion clear about this guy, so quit taking your time to bash a man just because another man share his hunt and personal opinion. There's life outside of the computer, go hunt or something.

nobody is bashin your hero Ike, so relax. should have put a title on the post "only for People who want to stroke Ike" if you didn't want mixed opinions.
I garranty i'm in the woods more than you, unless you live there so shut your pie hole. you whiney little bitch!

Josh you are a good friend and I know you have wanted to hunt in the mountains for a long time and this was a dream trip for you. I also know it didn't matter who took you hunting but it was Ike and I can't believe some of you people on here can't get off the Ike subject long enough to just simply congratulate a man on his first bear hunt. You people need to grow up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You got what you wanted Ike is gone. So leave him gone and go on with your life or go find a life. I can see this turning into another Ike bashing post instead of a guy who wanted to go on his first bear hunt in the mountains.
Josh from me to you Congrats Bud! I know not only did you get to experience a hunt you have wanted to do for a long time but you got to enjoy a vacation with your family. Don't let the posts of a few simple minded dinks ruin your memory of the trip!

couldn't have been said better!!!! i thought this circus would just die out but i guess not. i think buddy did the right thing by leaving the decision to the members of the forum, as to what do with ike. but after seeing alot of people dump on him and the poor guy that seems to have had a good vacation, i just got curious. now i don't know the man or have i ever read anything he ever posted. but i did get flat out curious. so in the members only section i happened on the poll results. very intresting, it was easy to see ike had a fair size hate club. but what was really intresting was out of appx. 4000 members there were appx. 142 voters. now i really started to think!! this may be starting to stink a little like our political system, you know what i mean, the squeaky wheel gets the grease. a hell call it what it is, the loud mouth minorty with an agenda. sure seems it may have had that kind of oder.guess thats why it continues to keep rearing its head.

12 gauge, I'm not trying to take anything from you here, great pics, great bear and looks like a great time had by all. .

That was my original post hoppy, so I don't know what your talking about?

[Hoppy]

Exactly where in my post did I single you out? You tell me that!
It wasn't my intentions to jump on anyone in particular at all. It just amazes me that a story of one mans first bear hunt on this forum has to turn negative just because one man was involved in the story.
I have been on these forums for awhile now and if I don't like what I read I just move on. This time I got involved because it pisses me off to see a friends experience get turned into another dead horse beating. I could care less about Ike on this forum but I do care about Josh and what it meant to him to go on this hunt and all this crap is distracting from the real story here. I have never not one time ever made a negative post like this before even though I read a lot of crap on these hound dog sites.
As I sit here reading what I have posted I feel as if I have lowered myself to the negative contribution to this subject and for that Josh I owe you an apology.
I am sorry for my post Josh and this will be the last time on this subject.

Wow, looks like 4 post and I've had enough, I guess the distance a computer creates makes everyone a courageous, I can't remember the last time someone called me a name like that for no apparent reason. Enjoy yourselves.

[bad moon]

i sense maybe a little guilt felt by some and they are not man enough to admit. i have seen more proof of ike telling the truth than i have ever seen of someone showing he was lying.

oh by the way there catdog sounds like you need to step back and take five. gaging over an internet post come on now!!! glad i do not half to hunt with you cause i can only imagine the cry baby fit you could throw when something SERIOUS happens like a pup running trash

[catdogs]

BTW, enjoyed the pics.

[dandavidson]

Nice Post, nice pics!

[Hunter]

Awesome pictures. I sure try to get my dogs to handle like that but, we're still working on that. I know what your talking about sucking wind. In them tall ass mountains us "low landers" ain't used to it. Glad you had an awesome trip.

Not to give it much thought but, I'd like to say something. I believe envy and jeolously have alot to do with the lack of tolerance people have. Some people are envyous that some guys simply get to spend so much time in the woods enjoying the things most of us would die to do. Those (myself included) aren't willing or can't make the sacrifices nessecary to do so. It's appearent that Ike has made a lasting impression on alot of people. Some good and some bad. Either way, he's still being discussed on a forum that he's no longer a member of. That's were legendary status begins. I didn't agree with some things the man said like making personal comments on someone that should/could have been taken care of in private. That's not a condimnation tho. It's a charactor issue. I am all for someone speaking their mind and there's nothing wrong with an arguement. If you don't like what someone is saying don't read the post. It's like asking a question that you really don't want to know the answer to.

P.S. I never spoke to the man and I didn't vote either way.

Dont know nothin about Ike or why he was voted off but if someone uses language like this they should be banned. Uncalled for. JMO

Aren't you guys supposed to be tough thick skinned houndsmen or somethin?

nicely put!

[Cold Track]

Holy Shit, what a bunch of pot stirring trouble makers! Leave this guy's story alone. There's a handful of people on here who stir the shit on about every third post. . Let it go and bite your tongue, your putting a bad taste in people's mouth without ever even meeting you . Here's another chance to take it in and not spout off back to someone, so impress us and don't.

Kind of funny how the supposed problem was gotten rid of but the problem still persists. Make ya wonder where the real problem is.

Josh I am glad that you where able to enjoy your vacation the way you wanted to do it. I am also glad you were able to see your first bear in the tree, hopefully you will get to see many more. Congradulations!
