Why should you have to hide your legal activities if you want to share? this political correctness has deteriorated into a way for the left to have their "whipping boys" of people who disagree with them.
Such a lack of tolerance for people who think differently.

Pretty pathetic.

Typical bullying. Just because someone doesn't approve of hunting, they get free rein to bully someone that hunts?

And when the hunter is female it seems the claws come out tenfold. Total bull crap.

I always find it so funny that they hate any animal being killed but wish the death of the human 10 times over. And not a quick death, slow and painful. Brutal stupid people out there who have no clue.

Those people posting threats should be charged. If a hunter posted threats to an anti hunter it would be a different story.

Why is it not smart to post your kills on Facebook? If it is part of who you are, be proud and share with the world. People post photos of their meals all the time, where's the shame in posting a picture of your food before it has been 'sanitized'?

Typical. Small "L" liberals and the weak have always used mob mentality and the perceived mantle of fame to try and get their way. As always, the strong shrug off their bullying. The bullying isn't meant to change how they behave though...it's meant to make the apathetic middle, the sheep without convictions, cower and change their behaviour to suit the delicate minded mob....small, simple people like Ricky Gervais.

I think that you should be able to post your pictures and be proud. But for me personally it is just not worth the hassle.

My family hunts, I have friends that do not agree with hunting. We have agreed to disagree. I don't post pictures out of respect for my friends and they don't bash our hunting lifestyle out of respect for us.

It really should be that simple for everyone.

Just a short story. Very first time I ever went hunting I was with my Dad. Grouse hunting. He let me take first shot on a grouse busting in the bush, and of course I missed, he got it..(of course). 25, 30 years later maybe, that picture of my Dad holding that grouse with a smile on his face is one of my favourite pictures. (he passed away almost 10 years ago).

Anyone that has a problem with that picture in my house is NOT my friend and I could care less if they ever set foot in it again. That's THEIR problem, not mine.

No offence meant to you, but as the saying goes..."Those that matter don't mind, those that mind don't matter."


As I said in post #9, this is how weak minded liberals are able to shift entire cultures to their viewpoint.

A time and place to post hunting pics, Facebook is not the place.
You will not turn the opinions of those against hunting, so we should stick to hunting forums, or deal with just that.
And I doubt she would have so many negative responses if they were all North American game animals, IMO of course.

Simple the newer generation is all about hiding behind their phones and alias, My neighbors are vegetarians and when they caught me BQ a deer steak raised all sorts of made up **** about me. Called the cops last summer said I was waving a gun around the parking lot !!

Thank god my video surveillance just show me carrying my shorty shot gun out to the truck in it's case neighbors asking what sort? told them is was a 50 BMG all Stainless Steel snipers...

Got the neigbours good they described the weapon I was waving at them. Police watched the video then checked the case to find a moss 500 18" predator for bears (Blued)

So now I keep it quite, do not need to advertize what I enjoy doing

maybe the hundreds that would claim I should be killed for getting meat You just don't know one might be crazy enough to do it

If you don't feel comfortable posting hunting pictures on Facebook that is your call and there is nothing wrong with that. "Smart enough not to post" I will have to strongly disagree.

I post my hunting pictures on Facebook all the time, I'm proud of the humane manner in which I get my healthy wild meat.

If anybody were to disagree with my methods on Facebook I just might post a picture of the inside of a slaughter house so they can see the "humane" way they get their meat.

I am not on facebook, but no one should be harassed for posting something that they enjoy that is perfectly legal.

Women should not be out hunting. They should be home making pie and sammiches for the menfolk to take hunting.

I'm thinking your neighbors could (should) have been charged for making a false police report, slander and harassment. Perhaps obstruction of justice.

True story.

I was visiting my very liberal son in law, and not as liberal daughter. She was baking muffins, wearing an apron, 8 months pregnant, and yes, barefoot.

The fool SIL looks at her, then, me, and says, "That's why I married her. Barefoot, pregnant and in the kitchen, just the way it should be".

I think it took him half an hour to clean up all the flour he wore.
