It is part of the hunt.
So you agree that the picture is in poor taste just like the three of us have stated and the site rules say that stuff like that is not allowed under rules #4 and #6! Why then doesn't it bother you like it does us when it detracts from what hunting is all about? Don't you feel the picture of his that I posted is a much better and more beautiful way to honor an animal than standing over a crumpled bird with your foot on it, which has absolutely nothing to do with the hunt like you have stated? Now if we were hunting on foot and our foot was the only method of killing the bird and showing the animal with your foot was required, maybe I could agree with you! The picture may stay up here, but IMHO and several others it was a poor, distasteful way to display a beautiful bird and I thought that is why we post pictures!
