Ever see a spot you know on a forum?

Have you ever been looking at an internet hunting forum and notice something ... familiar about a story or thread?

As in: \"Hey, I\'ve been there.\"

Not on a forum But last year at Tim\'s turkey hunting Scott was telling Tim about a area he hunted. As I\'m listening I\'m thinking to myself I know this spot. Turns out me and Scott shot our first bull on the same mtn in the same draw and all most the same spot. Small world.

Yes, I\'ve seen a couple on forums and on youtube.

I have too.

Especially If you pay close attention to the background/landscape in pics posted online

Definitely. The area I left that became overrun with hunters is now a popular place to which to send others others on hunting forums, apparently.

What kills me is when someone asks a generic question about a unit and someone replies with \"go about half a mile up Mission creek and there\'s a great plateau leading to a saddle\" etc.. I see this on the big forums that have up to 50,000 unique visitors a day. Once it\'s out there, you can\'t unring the bell.

Yea several times.. Not as bad as when you see the buck you pre-scouted for years on the cover of a magazine in the winter. I spent the entire first 5 days of muzzy last year looking for him and wondered why I could not find him again lol! Thankfully after 5 days I ran into some elk hunters who said a archer took a big non typical buck. It ended up going just over 220\"

Here are a couple of live pics.
