Yeah, but my point was that a hunting story doesn't HAVE to revolve around the actual kill. Nor do the photos have to revolve around the gruesome. We all know how much blood CAN be involved in a kill. It doesn't mean we have to show it all. I think.....in the right company.....the impact locations/entry-exit wounds/etc... are not only "OK"....they can be educational.....AND a LOT of us here like to see 'em.

I don't apologize for hunting. I also don't bring the subject up around people that might have opposing views.....OR.......OR if I think they might use what I say/my photos/etc... to give to others....to be used against me OR you. (and I'll debate/demand yours and my right to hunt 'til I die)

I dislike the term "apologize for"......I think it's "tact" (as someone else mentioned, earlier).

Oh yeah.....there's also a term called "wanton waste". Look it up. I'm no fan of that, either.....but that's just me.......
