Do you post trophy pictures here or on other social media?

[PigHunter]

Larysa Switlyk is the latest who's under attack for posting trophy pictures. See attached article...

I've posted several trophy animal pics here over the years. What are your thoughts on the issue? Should we stay away from posting such here on OL and F&S?

Natalie, what is the editorial policy for trophy pics in OL and F&S articles? Have you changed those policies recently? Do you wish for us to avoid posting certain presentations of the game we take?

Personally I post nothing on public media other than F&S and 0L ! No pictures of any kind that could be used to determine identity or location. I have nothing against others who do, that is up to them. But if the pictures are not ethical, or put a bad image on hunting in general, then I would rather not see them. If they bother a seasoned hunter, one only can guess how they would be received by non- hunters, jmo !

Bhr, 99explorer once asked me to quit posting pictures of dead hogs.
Is that what you're talking about?

[FirstBubba]

I used to post pictures and a story of the hunt, thinking people may like to see the results.
I've been asked to stop posting pictures of dead animals and ridiculed for my ammo selection.
...and I received no monetary compensation for all my hard work.
Forget it! I may post pictures, but no more stories.
Too many ungratefuls!

Bubba, I do not care about hogs. You can show them all day if it trips your trigger. Game animals are different in my mind, they deserve more respect than a damn ? !

I typically do not, but I certainly don't have any objections to others doing so.

The picture I posted on F&S in response to HABBEN97's post is the only one I've posted online that I recall.


I honestly couldn't care less about the "public outrage", granted I'm not the one receiving death threats.

It would seem that most of the "outraged" people are of the sort who believe that milk grows in bottles, meat is manufactured at the grocery store, are governed by emotion rather than logic, and lack the ability to think critically.
Worrying about such people's opinion is futile because most of them have no idea what they're opinion is until they are told what it is, whether it be by their favorite media personnel or someone else.

No, lost a lot of my photographs in the flood I had.

I usually shoot deer without antlers so not interested in big racks.

Don’t use social media. Have posted on here. I don’t care so long as they tasteful pictures. We don’t need to give the antis any ammo.

All the pictures of animals I've posted here, regardless of species, I thought were "respectful".

[pineywoods]

I don't post photos at all, anywhere, except maybe for some larger fish. Don't want anybody to know that where I hunt is productive, or pester me to take them with me. If I want you with me, I'll invite you.

Let me see the quality of the fish you are catching, and then I will try to get on your good side for a invite lol !

I can not argue that, I have found no problem ! As long as you limit it to the dead animals, I am sure they would be better to look at than those of yourself lol !!

Well rat's ass! You are going to deprive the rest of us of a good hunting story with pictures just because of a little undeserved criticism from a jealous nitwit? What is this world coming too?

[Buckshott00]

I sure do. If people on social media don't like it, they're free to unfriend / unfollow etc.

I don't understand why the morons of this world think that because they get a filtered peek into your life that they have some kind of claim or hold on it.

The recreational outrage is asinine. Let them be mad. Gnash their teeth, pull their hair, scream and pitch fits like the toddlers they are; it doesn't bother me one bit.
