burmjohn Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 One of our favorite sites has been offline for a few months and we descided to create our New York hunting forum that will stay up forever. Its a shame the other site went down, and I have no idea why. There was a lot of great people on those forums. Hopefully they will find there way over here.

fasteddie Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 I had never heard of the Empire Site . I was on the NYDEER site and it was pretty dead . Posted a message and e-mailed those that had an address and a few members from NYDEER came over here . Did the same thing on the NAHC site . Oh goodness me , i'm a Spammer ! http://www.downsouthhuntingforums.com/images/smiles/help.gif[/img] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burmjohn Posted August 12, 2010 Author Share Posted August 12, 2010 Mark, I don't know what happened... One day I tried to access it and it was gone... I emailed the owner and they never got back to me, I think a few other people tried too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkln Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Thanks John, Well, I guess we have a new home now, just don't disappear like Empire did, if you do I really will need some serious counseling, LOL Thanks Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burmjohn Posted August 12, 2010 Author Share Posted August 12, 2010 It won't, seems like we have a nice crew here too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbodwb Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 I am very glad I found this site and forum. I used to go to Huntingnet but the forum there turned into a Pennsylvania b@#ch fest. I stopped going there about a year ago. Every once in a while I would just go on to see if anything has changed but it is still the same. Then the other day I saw a post about this site and I came a running. Thank you for creating this site. I never heard of Empire but I wish I had. I look forward to some good discussions with NY hunters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fasteddie Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 We had NYDEER for a while but the owner sold it and I never heard from the new guy . It was a pretty dead site .... I should go in there and clear all the posts as no one visits anymore . Got a few of the members to come over here .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JW QLTY Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 I am glad you created it,only been here a short while and am very impressed.Thanks a bunch and keep up the good work. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suilleabhain Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Oh this is interesting, I wondered what happened. I missed that site Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
13BVET Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 I, too, was on NYDEER at one time. During that time, I was definitely undecided when it came to whether I was going to keep hunting. Those guys actually helped keep me in it. They were great people on there. This site is nice, but it's a real turn off for me. I've never seen so much infighting, especially when it comes to antlers. No offense to the creator of the site, but it's true. If you don't get the big buck on here (if you shoot a buck that doesn't meet with someones personal approval), you are effectively viewed as being lazy, a bambi killer, or some other childish thing. It kind of reminds me of a bunch of kids fighting over the biggest piece of candy. That's not camaraderie, as far as I'm considered. Has anyone noticed that a lot of the new people may post a few times, then disappear? I actually enjoy the forum, but not the constant judgement that comes along with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

13BVET Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 I thought this was the jerry springer sign ups!! It sure seems like it sometimes. It's really not the way it should be. United we stand, divided we fall. This constant infighting is going to have a negative effect on us in the long run. It's stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suilleabhain Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 The banter on here is light-weight compared to the fishing sites. They only get parked or banned after they start meeting behind the handball courts after last period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 You guys are right sometimes I have to take a break and them come back later. But nothing changed, same old thick heads monopolizing the threads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nyantler Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Guys Guys.. this is only a forum... you need to get much thicker skins.. if someone typing something on a forum really gets to you that badly.. how do you survive in reality?...there are way more a-holes in real life...this is primarily just fellas and gals with stong opinions... although the name calling is childish it is just part of the human condition and shouldn't be taken so seriously.. for some here it gives them a chance to spout off knowing they aren't gonna get their teeth punched in for being an idiot..lighten up a bit.. you'll have way more fun... and great job on the site John.. it seems to be a crowd pleaser. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I guess you're right on that. Hell, I dealt with the military for years, where they certainly called us far worse, and, quite frankly, dealt with far worse situations. I freely admit that I'm short fused as hell. Thanks for the pep, NYANTLER. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burmjohn Posted December 12, 2011 Author Share Posted December 12, 2011 Its hard to please everyone. People argue, be it on a forum or around a camp fire. Everyone needs to understand one thing, if you don't want to argue don't post on that specific thread. I will not baby sit the site, I've left forums in the past because if that, where everything had to moderated to the point where you were not allowed an opinion. Some times you just have to laugh it off as NyAntler said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erussell Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Mark, I don't know what happened... One day I tried to access it and it was gone... I emailed the owner and they never got back to me, I think a few other people tried too. It wasnt to long after Antler Gate it closed up. I wonder if that had anything to do with it?

erussell Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) what was antler gate? http://outdoornews.c...html?mode=story I wonder what ever happened to that weasel. Probably on this site under a new name. Not to dig up old wounds of course. Hope Im not out of line here. Everyone who said anything about it on Empire found out shortly they couldnt get back on.
