On another thread a poster commented "So glad to not see weapon in picture."

Do other people feel this way and why? The poster was asked and didn't reply.

No shortage of dummies in this world.

Me personally, I'm not all about the fancy looking, hunter 10' behind the animal with arms fully extended setup pictures. I like the grab the deer by the horns and hunker down next to it natural looking pictures as long as it captures the hunter and game. How the pros do it, with the hunter sitting behind a perfectly setup animal with its legs all tucked in just doesn't do it for me. As for the weapon, I take pictures with and without. I don't make a conscious decision of putting it in the picture or not. Sometimes it's rested on the animal and other times it's leaning against a tree either in or out of frame. I don't mind seeing it in the picture.

The weapon is part of the kill, I have photo's with and without the weapon with the animal to provide photo memory of the total experience. Quite a few years ago, my son started improving the experience with taking time to stage the animal to obtain best quality photo's he could. At first, I didn't think big deal, but after a few sessions I realized it is also a tribute to the animal as well.

The same who complain don't think twice of mauling over steaks wrapped in white styrofoam trays at grocery store without thought to the animal that gave its life to those styrofoam trays.

Hmmm, maybe our photos should be of the processed meat already wrapped?

My intent was just my opinion about the photo, not the removal of viewing the weapon used on the kill. I do appreciate the correct tool used to make this memory, not to focus upon the weapon But the shared experience.

I include weapons in the pictures on FB and in emails because that is a way of saying this is a tool I can use.
I had not really considered worrying about pictures of gutted deer and deer rigged for drag because I thought they would be of technical interest to my friends. I have since started cleaning up the photos to reduce the visual gore and dismemberment because I began to realize that the blood bothered some.

I may start leaving it in because there is too much movie romanticism about guns.
It's a messy business and too many don't really understand what that weapons they carry can do.

During dinner last night we were debating the best way to get a good pitcher of a rifle. I want to send it to a magazine with short story

I feel the firearm in the picture with the animal saves the memory of the hunt. If a large bull elk in taken in Wyoming, I think the GPS coordinates could be posted also. Just sayin'

Same with fishing, both saltwater and fresh!

I'm sorry but if you're on this site and somehow offended by seeing a weapon in a picture you should probably find another forum.
sorry if my emoji's offended anyone

Well said!

More idealogical trolls. Projection from their self chosen torturous reality into other people's reality.
Like Annie Wilkes in the Misery movie, " it's for your own good....."

You can have the rod and reel just no hooks!

I'm starting to adopt a new policy for the micro-aggression crowd. I give zero Fs about what they think. Perhaps I should have T-shirts made stating that over a picture of a rifle, so they know I'm not safe to approach. Life is just too short to have to deal with idiots.

They all believe they're NOT CRAZY
