Disagree with it all you want , but IMHO you are wrong! There have been 225 views of this thread and there has not been one single "attaboy" yet telling the OP he got a nice bird and congratulating him. That tells me that the three of us who have told the OP it was in poor taste to put up a heading and picture like that are right on because any other time a decent picture of a turkey or animal is posted on this site all kinds of members make posts giving them congratulations. It appears that many are just looking and passing this thread by because of apathy and not wanting to speak out about it. IMHO the OP and anyone who agrees with him need to learn respect for the game we hunt and for the sport itself because it can easily go away with one vote of the populace. Things like this certainly don't cast hunting in a good light with the fence sitters who might possibly vote our sport out of existence if given the chance. It is already happening a little bit at a time when hunting issues are put on the ballot. You know it and I know it and it will not get any better when stuff like this is posted as to appear like this is the common attitude of all of us hunters. It just makes it appear as if there is no respect for the game or sport that we love so dearly and the retorts of the OP are really hard to stomach! I'm very surprised that a Mod hasn't stepped in to deep six the entire thread because if the title and picture the OP put up aren't a violation of rules #4 & #6 of this website I don't know what is!!! Maybe they are all out turkey hunting and aren't reading this thread! I just got in from a morning hunt and got skunked again myself.
