I'll try and explain, and then give you a way to satisfy your doubt.

Ever since I started hunting with my dad when I was 8 years old. He taught me to enjoy the hunt beyond all else. The goal was to enjoy the hunt, and not the kill. The kill was just a reward for a good hunt. That's why I never hunted an easy way just to get a kill. He taught me to savor the hunt for myself, and never brag about it. It's a personal pleasure. Not to be shared. He never saw a need to take pictures, and I follow the same thinking. I've lived to hunt all my life. Even though my dad is gone. I feel he's with me on every hunt. It's not something to be shared. I've never hunted with anybody but my dad, and never will with what's left of my hunting seasons.

Now, so nobody gets what i'm saying the wrong way. I see nothing wrong with showing your kills. For whatever reason you choose to do it. It's just not my style.

So, no pictures, and I hope you understand why, but that's your choice. No matter to me. What I can do is give you a phone number of my buddy who helped me butcher the elk. Best I can do for those who doubt.

Pictures are not always proof you know. How do you really know who's in the picture. Sometimes you only see the animal. Targets said to be shot at 100yds could have been shot at 25 yds. It's all a matter of trust. Trust a picture, or trust what someone says. I have no reason to lie. Believe, or don't believe. Not important to me.
