    I definitely respect the animal Scribe.
    But we all do that in different ways. I dont sit down and say a prayer but there is always that touch of regret/sadness for taking an animals life.
    We all owe it to the animal to end its life as quickly and painlessly as possible.
    Different tools for different jobs.
    Not everyone has the same experience/shooting ability/terrain/animals.
    This thread if added to and culled of comments could become a valuable resource for both the novice and experienced alike.

    Ditto, can't think of a single photo of bullet damage I've ever taken. Openned animals up to see what damage was done yes, pics no.
    May I ask why people have?

    Because it is something to use and compare to other animals shot.

    Go ahead just ignore the fact that some of us find the posting of some of this material offensive. I wouldnt take a photo of a goat with its guts shot out let alone post it on here.

There seemed to be a general agreement at the time about the need to show more respect for the animals.

    No I dont work for PETA. Our organization Thames Landcare have touched base with them a few time on animal cruelty issues over the last couple of years. They would thank you for handing them free ammunition in the form of some of the graphic images posted here and the comments that follow them. In time these images will pop up again and people will use them against the groups that publish them.

    "Spanners" there is no sense in deliberately misunderstanding what I am talking about. Its not the damage a bullet does thats the problem here it the persception of us that is held by people that dont hunt, they see such displays asthose above as a glorification of the mutilation of an animal by bullets.

    Look at the "Sow Crate" a pretty innocuous piece of equipment really. Film it at night add some fairly innocent pig noises and pretty ordinary pig behaviour show it on TV and the pig farmers were fucked. Even the Government went into a tailspin over it and hurriedly belted some legislation in place to cover their ass.

    Remember keep it clean or keep it to yourself because believe me these guys are going to come after us one day too.

    Personally, I do not find the photos offensive. I think this was in theory a great resource to be started. However, I am slightly offended by Toby's remarks that seem to glorify gore.

    I understand KiwiGreg's points too and Toby and Greg are probably feeling the same sort of thing (humane and effective kill) but somehow the language used by the younger of the two makes them seem like two different viewpoints. I can imagine Toby playing video games at home and fist pumping for graphically blowing a person's head off. Now that isn't a dig at you Toby it's just how I kind of percieve it. And I think what Scribe is trying to say that is if someone who doesn't understand why we all enjoy hunting and animal control might group us all together as physco killers based on the comments about holes in animals as above when really they are not intended to be taken that way.

    Why would some one who doesn't like hunting go looking for pictures of holes in animals??? They are just there to cause shit, I guess the world would be boring without them.

    Anyway I wont comment on the exit wounds or show any interest in the pics then, but I still want to see them posted.

    Comment away dude.

    And I am asking myself the same question as you - silly people who like writing to the editor. And you're right, the world would be boring without them! Or at least quieter. I don't know. I guess it keeps us on our toes and makes life 'interesting'
