Yeah, I started to delete mine but I keep it for these kinds of groups. I just deleted my family instead.

Hmm, I checked it out but didn't see anything of interest? Am I missing something?

I don't know what interests you or what you were hoping to find? Interest very from person to person. To guys like you and I we'll probably not find much that is new. But as i stated before there is plenty of information for someone who doesn't know Colorado. Like most internet websites (including this one) Guys are not going to come out and reveal their honey holes and such. But there are plenty of pictures and noobs who freely post unit numbers and such. So if someone was looking to get some information it could be helpful. It certainly doesn't hurt to see what guys are posting now does it?

Yes sir, we all have things that interest us but I guess I was expecting much more as far as references goes! (grin) I saw two units that were mentioned in CO but other than that not much? Just figured there would be many units being discussed & which were better than others. It's not a big deal I just thought it was a page with quite a bit of enlightenment! (grin) James I've seen you share more info in one post here that the whole F/B page there! :D

Let me add this... Take anything you see on the internet with a grain or two of salt. There are guys on the FB page that have mentioned unit numbers and such however as of this morning someone did point out the fact that their are trolls who patrol the internet looking to spot scout. Un-ethical to some, maybe not to others. It sure did put a squash on people offering up locations and GMU.... I made mention on the post that there are people who need a point in the right direction and that adding some info would make the page more then just a place to brag.

As a person who gets more out of others success then their own. This situation reminds me that the internet is a very powerful tool. Both for good and for bad. It's a good reminder that what we put out there on the net can have great consequences.

I agree! Nothing wrong with asking questions here about any state or unit but for more personal landmarks or areas make sure it's done in a PM instead of revealing too much here right on the site, you wouldn't want unexpected company! :o

I was giong to message some of those guys too. I joined the group to get a feel for a region or unit by whatever anyone wants to post. Some of those guys are far too free with their knowledge. I'm guessing that started as a small group and they don't know how many people are a part of it. Plus, if it was me I would be telling people it was a unit far, far, away. I'm sure some are taking that route as well.
