Dissin' da deer

[Moosie]

I have my own .02 about this but would like to hear from others.

1. Is putting a Hat on a Dead dead Disrespectfull ?
2. Is being in a Picture with a Deer Disrecpectfull ?
3. Is showing a little blood in a Picture wrong ?
3A. If not, then when is the linit ?
3B. If it is, what is the Extent ?
4. Is it different if It's a gopher and not a deer ?

Just wondering what the redneck and Upperclass think.

 

[fowladdict]

All of the above are okay as long as your (Moosie) mug isn't in the picture. The picture of you and the buck you got this year....totally disrespectful.

Lets add one more in the mix....

5. Deer in the Back of trucks after killing it.

Fowl, I'm always Offensive in pictures, I was born Ugle and will stay ugly...

I don't know exactly on how to word this but here I go.

I come to hunting sites for fun and info. I don't come to snipe if people don't hunt the way I do either even if they are unethical about it. But they will defend it and then bitch about the next guy.Hypocritical for sure.

Pictures are pictures. Some are great and some are fine.

Hopefully I am trying to get the best pic each time I take a critter. Blood is a part of hunting and is fine with me.

I have put a hat on a deer once. But won't anymore. Plus I dont care if somebody else does.

I do not own a pick up. I heard only gay people have them.

That's gotta be O.K.....otherwise we'd never see any of the big azzz chit that Cookie Monster kills

Moosie,

The litmus test is if the 90% (or what ever the actual number is) of the NON-hunting public would find it offensive or distasteful. The sport is under enough attack, and pictures of 10th grade drop outs from Montana sodomizing dead elk or pictures of poor shooting with brains/blood hanging out only serve to convince the 90% of the NON-hunters to become ANTI-hunters.

Unfortunately, there is no law against stupidity and poor taste.

Main Entry: litmus test
Function: noun
: a test in which a single factor (as an attitude, event, or fact) is decisive

So.... Besides your high talk Babbling, can you answer the questions ?

 

[DRAFTSTUD]

As a redneck I do have standards, Deer don't wear hats unless you get points for it or you wish for the forum folks to know that you wished they were with you to enjoy your hunt. Blood is not a problem, it comes with the territory, tongues can be trimmed or tucked, years down the road it makes for a better memory as you look through your pictures. As a gay redneck pick up owner I don't put the deer in the bed and drop the tailgate and drive though town, not cool. Pictures that are posted on the web should be of a higher quality than the ones I show Bubba on Monday morning. Booze, lewd acts or the sloppy pictures should be avoided. John

Kind of like them bible bangers that ask "What would Jesus do?", you should just ask "What would BuzzH think?" Can you follow that for a litmus test????

Specifically, your hat fetish isn't that bad, as you are doing in in good fun and as the owner of a gay chat room.

Elkcheese sodomizing a dead elk was not cool, and I think, if I remember correctly, it was one of the few pictures ever yanked from this site.

The current picture in question, coincidentally has some of the same people involved as the beastiailty/sodomy/necrophillia picture of the Cheese. Speaks to character.

 

[OSOK]

1. No
2. Of course Not
3. It's Hunting, we kill animals.
3A&B. We owe it to the animals to portray their likeness in the most honorable way possible.
4. It's all a matter of what you feel as dis honoring in light of the animal. To me, vermin is just that. Game animals deserve our respect.

Missed #5

Cookie Monster type pics don't bother me. About as Redneck as you can get, yes... Doesn't necessarily dis honor the animal IMHO. God knows I have a few of my own from the early days, before I learned what a descent field photo actually was.

I have a real dry sense of humor and appreciate tasteless jokes, photos, etc. But not everybody is the same.

Hats, cigarettes in mouths, and sunglasses on dead critters, humping them, sitting with them nude, photos with their brains blown out, arrows sticking out of them.. all of that is very poor taste. Expect critisim if you display something like that because it often won't be a crowd pleaser. Same goes for propping up a bloody head on your truck when returning from the field.

The sad part is when people are clueless enough to not recognize the fact that they are either disrespectful or tasteless.

Anybody want to see a picture of a fresh elk fetus?

 

[fowladdict]

My 2 cents now that I’m in a serious mood….Sorry Moosie I finally got the coffee in my system. All hunters should be enthused about there kill and take pictures of it however they feel comfortable (there your memories and nobody elses) as long as it is something that you wouldn’t do to your wife/girlfriend during play time When I was younger I remember my uncles and grandpa always mounted the antlers to the top of the pickup for the drive home to show the world. While I have no problem with that I wouldn’t do that today…However I’ve no problem with the world seeing my forky from the back of my flippin’ awesome gay chevy pickup.

Fowl

I don't have a real problem with it, but I personally try to take the best possible field photos that I can, for myself. I want a good photo so that I can have something to really remeber it by. That means taking the pictures before gutting, shooting from different angles, cleaning up some blood, making sure the togue isn't out, etc. I'm surprised at times that other people don't also want to take really great pics, but what can you do. I'll agree with some of the others that some people pics wouldn't paint hunters in a very good light if the anti's or even just some non-hunters saw them.

1. Is putting a Hat on a Dead dead Disrespectfull ?
I did it once for a hog an didn't like it.
2. Is being in a Picture with a Deer Disrecpectfull ? No.
3. Is showing a little blood in a Picture wrong ?
No, but it can be gorry if its more than a little or in the wrong place.
3A. If not, then when is the linit ? see 3.
3B. If it is, what is the Extent ? The extent of what? Its gorry.
4. Is it different if It's a gopher and not a deer ? Gopher's are smaller than deer, they are supposed to cute, deer are supposed to be pretty, right?

5. The back of a truck is not as good a picture as in the field. What about hanging from a skinning rack?

What's your $0.02? Eastman's book on elk hunting has a bunch of tips in the back on how to take a good picture for a magazine, i.e. high quality.

 

[Erik in AK]

I agree with Draftstud and OSOK's (and Jose) comments, in that taking the time to take good pics now makes for better memories in years to come, conversely, a kill pic in poor taste is a stand-alone image and won't necessarily have those involved to provide context. We can't afford bad press even if its accidental. and that we owe the animals we kill some respect.

I agree that pics of excessive blood and "animals in/on vehicles" is potentially bad PR. In defense of truck shots (is that gay porn?) sometimes a guy forgets to throw the camera in his pack and has to wait until he gats back to the vehicle to take a pic.

 

[schmalts]

1 no. a little cheesy but it is already dead so how are you disrespecting it?
2. no. as long as you are not humping it or doing something lude with it.
3. A little blood is fine. Less blood is a better photo though.
4. one is an animal that is well... not wanted or respected as much, so yes there is a difference.
The bottom line is this. Do what you want as long as it is within legal limits. But... with respect to others (not the animal) do not parade around town with a deer carcass with the chest propped open showing the whole town you are the mighty hunter. Not everyone hunts or likes it. this is what fuels the anti's.
Take pictures, put the game in your truck and close the tailgate or cover it with a tarp. Keep your elk antlers in your vehicle unless they do not fit. Not everyone is impressed with our kills, respect that. Show it off at a place like here where only hunters come to look at dead shit.

What OSOK & Greeny said...except no to the dead elk fetus.

[Ovis]

Would a field photo of an animal morphed into something that closely resembles that of hamburger be something you would blow up to 10x12 and proudly hang on the wall of your home?

1. Is putting a Hat on a Dead dead Disrespectfull ?
Don't know if I would call it disrespectful, but it surely lacks taste.

2. Is being in a Picture with a Deer Disrecpectfull ?
If it involves sodomizing the animal, sure.

3. Is showing a little blood in a Picture wrong ?
How do you quantify "little"?

3A. If not, then when is the linit ?
Think about some of the better rags out there. Follow the status quo.

3B. If it is, what is the Extent ?

4. Is it different if It's a gopher and not a deer ?
Nope!

 

[The Hedgehog]

What was that?
