Q:
When does turkey season start here? Do we have fish there? What's the biggest snileygoger ever killed in my area? Are young outdoor people this unaware that there is a DNR and wildlife professionals and publications for every individual area that they need to refer for such questions? Do local authorities need to make themselves more available or do some public relations efforts targeting our interested youth?

Some folks just like to listen to themselves talk, or in this case write (or a not so reasonable facsimile thereof). I think a lot of it is kids asking questinos that they really know the answer to. Just needing to ask something ... anything.

Oh, and when does the season on snileygogers open? How long do their toenails have to be before they're legal?

yes, it would be nice to see more "research" done on the part of looking up your own hunt/fish season.
yes, the websites for most states include all that info you talk about.

If the "youth" or even adult that is truely interested in finding out what they need did a little leg work instead of asking here they may get more satifisfatction/results concerning their needs.

More importantly what is the snileygoger? how does it taste? will it charge you when you try to take it down? what do you use? bow, rifle, gage? pistol? spear?

this is interesting!

What is the internet? Google? Yahoo? the search icon? I'd have to agree w/Matt and OHH, most people post these for the sake of a post and points, not to really find out. If you have enough savvy to get on this sight, certainly you'd know how to find it on the web.

Matt and OHH, did you research a snileygoger before asking the question? LOL

it may be that some are just trying to join in the conversation here and thats the first question that pops in to their heads . but some maybe just a bit lazy or want the points ( foolish ) and not want to do their own research , even though typing out the question here is as much or more work than they would have to in the first place to get the answer from the d.n.r. web sight.

"Snileygoger" - n. (1) one who posts for points; generally of a younger age. (2) When referred to in the hunting blog parlance, one who opens themselves up for much criticism over their posts.
According to The Old Farmer's Almanac, Snileygogers usually make themselves available for viewing in the late afternoon and early evening hours, when computer access is less likely to be monitored by the elders of the tribe.
Snileygogers have recently been removed from the endangered species list, and the seasons have been declared as follows:
January 1 - December 20 (entire U.S.);
If substantial tornadoes or flooding trigger a spread from the midwest, there may be an adjustment in the length of the season in the SE to maintain population control there.

Perhaps some people have no idea where to start. They might not even know there is a DNR or wildlife division. Someone new to hunting and fishing might have just picked up a F&S or stumbled on to this site, liked what they saw, and asked an innocent question. Perhaps it is obvious to you but might not be to them. Shouldn't you be welcoming them rather than bashing them and driving them off?

i'm not bashing or trying to driv off anyone. i'm just trying to make the point that these individuals need to be more aware of their local resources. my point was that they don't know where to start, like you said. local autorities need to educate them that they have a good place to start.

MLH-
I don't believe anyone that regularly posts here would be intentionally cruel to a child, but a loss of patience, well, that's different. Little snileygogers like that RylieGipson girl, can get irritating very quickly when they post the same answer for three pages, and cannot spell cat. I often wonder if her next question will be: "whatizin holes in th ground?"
