[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 888319, member: 30671"] Most of my response is in the original post. I'm very proud of my children. I have no video of their conception or birth. Not ashamed of either, just a private person that realizes 1) Not every experience translates well to video, 2) Just as our rifles have transformed, so has the technology to record our hunts, 3) The younger people have been born, and raised with a camera in their face, and have a different view of privacy, and will post pictures of what they had for lunch, 4) Real time story telling is going to be a fact of life from here on out. So how do we handle it? I didn't know what the triangle was for until I read through this thread. A trip to the woodshed is an old expression not used much any more. It combined the elements of time out, sort it out, deal with it, and privacy. What happened there could stay there, and it preserved a bit of each parties dignity. Just because someone makes it public by posting a video, doesn't mean you're compelled to respond in public. There is a PM function here that might better serve to communicate disagreements better than, Administrative complaints, or picking teams on a thread. As far as the question of how it affects hunters collectively, nothing makes everybody happy, and appeasement has never slowed the anti's. I recently saw a really beautiful picture of a wolf trophy, groomed, positioned, and posed tastefully. It drew criticism as folks thought the hunter behind the animal made it look bigger. Some things don't play well in public, some video's, and some criticisms are better for private airing. What may give the aniti's the most satisfaction, is being able to cause and see division in our ranks over how to deal with their antics. Congratulations to the young man on his LR moose! I saw a moose take 5 from a 300 Winchester at 200 yards and wander around. It fell during the second reload. [/QUOTE]
