Moving to SW Florida I did the required thing and shot wildlife for a while, and while doing so I enjoyed my sporadic time here on BPN.
I learned yesterday of the changed rules (I am sure I got something before and missed it). I now shoot mostly sports, so even despite the occasional bird or wildlife shoot, it does not merit a paid subscription here.
I wanted to say thank you to all those who helped me, gave me critique (this is one of the VERY few places you can get actual critique as opposed to "nice shot" pablum), and welcomed me here. It was very helpful.
It's a fun place, and I shall miss it, but I understand the need to keep the lights on.
