Why does anyone take a picture, duh. To have a reminder they can look at, and share with others. Those moments are usually rare in a persons life. I don't understand how you cannot understand something so basic and human. Shoot, even the cave men painted pictures of what they hunted on the walls as a record.
You must be over civilized. |

so i guess you are againt mounting of these animals too?
think of the people who put in for out of state tags in the better hunting areas, year after year after year sometimes they get their trophy a lot of times they don't, but when they do they want to share it with others so that they can experience the pure joy that person had taking an animal let me ask you this, are you against kids working hard at a sport, playing on a team and winning a trophy and getting their picture taken with a smile of pure joy for all their hard work? |

Well, not all men are squeamish about a kill. There you have it. Not necessarily that I'm squeamish I just don't get it, maybe I never will. What do you take pictures of? |

OP wonders why we take pics of our kills. I wonder why those of us who claim to go as far as honoring the "soul" of the animal by praying over it (really?) can't take 30 seconds to cut the dangling tongue out of the mouth of the animal we just "honored" before we start snapping pics.
Maybe OP and those with similar sensitivities wouldn't get their panties in such a twist if we all thought about that prior to preserving the memory of a great hunt with pictures. That little bit of prep work really does make a difference in the quality of the pic, not only for our viewing pleasure but for all those that may be a bit squeamish about hunting, as well. CUT OUT THE TONGUE before you take that pic of the next bull, buck, doe, bear, hog, or coyote you shoot. |

Why should I cut the tongue out because of some pussy who cant face the vison of a dead animal? Why don't we stop making scary black rifles becuase people get upset at the sight |

Hunting is a sport, many people are proud of their accomplishments. Have you never had your picture taken after accomplishing something while engaging in your sport of choice? |

To preserve the memory of the hunt is why I document my success with photos. I've started keeping a digital journal of my hunts as well. I enjoy scrolling back through the details of previous hunts.....photos only add to the experience/memory/nostalgia. Here is a photo of my latest successful hunt. Hiked three miles into the White Mountains with my wife and harvested four ptarmigan. It was a good day. http://i1309.photobucket.com/albums/s623/payneby97/1E71C1EE-B2FF-4162-8AFF-A0DE2E4197E2_zpsk4ya7fzf.jpg View Quote +1 for bakelite mag goodness. |

Quoted: You can't take pictures of the stalk, or the days you saw nothing but enjoyed sitting in the stand all day. But you can take pictures of the fruits of your hard work. View Quote One year I made videos of just about everything we did in the woods! I'm so glad I did. I like reliving those moments, especially since I can't do them right now. |

Well without the trophy shots, people might just assume it was a bunch of dudes in the woods corn holing each other. With the trophy shot you at least know they were hunting between sessions of essing the dee.

It is a disgrace to be proud of your kill. View Quote No it is not. If you get a good and safe kill where you show grate respect for the animals you have every right to be proud, just as you should be ashamed if you make a bad shot and gamble with the shot. I guess it is the same thing as people showing their achievements on the range where they put x amount of rounds in a tight formation over a long distance. At least this is how it is in Sweden. We don’t hunt for trophies (although you rarely see us doing headshots since that is too hard in our dense forests). Many hunters put the dead animals on a bead of fir branches and light candles around them; it is a very nice practice. |
