[QUOTE="Konrad, post: 835176, member: 26549"] Hello Outlaw, Believe me when I say that I fully appreciate the “Not One More Inch” mentality! A fault of mine throughout life has been reaching for the launch all nuclear weapons button when confronted with mice eating the corn for my deer. I am constantly reminding myself that such excessive tactics invariably result in unintended collateral damage that rarely furthers my cause. Of course, my first inclination is to plaster pictures like we are discussing all over frequently visited web-sites just to get a negative reaction. Then my better nature (read: “Wife”) usually steps in with more sanity and reason prevails. At least it seems I am better able to keep those with whom I’m debating involved in the discussion rather than their just abandoning the conversation. As a group, hunters and shooting sports enthusiasts have been taking it on the PR chin for decades. Most anti-hunting/shooting activists will tell you that they would be thrilled at the prospect of removing the tools of our avocation from our hands but will also admit their strategy of “Death by a Thousand Cuts” will get the same desired outcome albeit over a longer time frame. This is the gambit I seek to thwart by asking for those who revel in those photos (I must admit more than a little scientific curiosity on my own part) avoid the gore for gore’s sake snap shot and apparent exploitation (to the uninitiated) of our game animals for less than sportsman like purposes. You and I are on the same page. Keep up the good work! Good luck with your future efforts afield. Konrad [/QUOTE]
