I unfortunately read this entire thread  :(

couple things

1) It's not cool to post pictures of animals you yourself did not kill without permission.  This includes all forms of media, PM, texts ect. 
2) It's not cool to apply pressure to get someone to bend, calling their integrity into question or inferring they are a liar or mistaken is really not cool.

I wouldn't answer a PM either, it's just more pressure to get you to bend and show a pic or give out information that's not yours to give.

This.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

First off I'd like to say thank you to Bobcat for the things he has said.  :tup: :tup: :tup:

Secondly, Folks....A LOT of the time on hear people read WAY TOO far into things. When I said "pics or it didn't happen  :hello:" that was simply some friendly forum banter to get a laugh and maybe a more long winded response from MtnMuley than "he's dead" the response I got from what I posted was a tune to that of a response I'd get from openly insulting someone in a hurtful way. I NEVER intended to hurt or offend. Bobcat said it best when he said that I have a history with this deer, although brief but a very exciting history to say the least. And YOU BET I was curious when someone I've never shook hands with tells me he's dead.  I said it a few posts ago and maybe all did not see it but I did admit to being TOO persistent in asking for pics.  I'm man enough to admit that.

There hasn't been a day that has passed since I last saw that deer that I do not think of him. I had him and his bachelor group at 76 yards with a perfect wind, ready to run an arrow through one of them, in OPEN COUNTRY! If that's not exciting I don't know what is. So of course I'm curious when I hear of his possible demise. But I'm certainly not angry towards the Hunter. Not at all. In fact I'd be overjoyed to congratulate them on a serious accomplishment. And a WELL deserved one at that.

This is my 4th year of hunting. Period. I've been bow hunting from the beginning. I took a Muley doe on my 2nd year but haven't killed since. Lost a cow I shot last year. STEEP downhill 40 yard shot. Hit her high in the void. Never found first blood. Only found the arrow covered in fat with blood on the fletchings. And I've had countless encounters other than that with deer, elk, and bear. The point of what I just wrote is that I wanted to say that it's LARGELY due to the helpful folks on this forum that a guy who didn't grow up hunting and had no mentors in his family can have accelerated success.  I come on here to learn. If you took the time to go through the history of threads I have started and participated in you'll see that I'm not a Troll.

Oh and KFhunter, if you want to see pics I'd be happy to email them to you. Just shoot me a PM if you'd like.  :tup:
Every thought of my being is in regards to being a high tech predator and I relish the role.

I think the important thing to take from all of this is there's about a dozen different reasons why people don't post pictures on forums like this. If a guy is not going to post a picture, he's not going to post a picture. If I have a picture of somebody's deer I don't post it unless I have their ok. Same goes for a lot of folks.

LMAO!!!  Really guys!?!!!  If I had a dime for every time someone has posted the phrase " pics or it didn't happen" followed by some little emoji character I could retire!  Including from folks posting on this thread.  If you find this offensive I think it's time to step away from the social media machine.

Again, Jackelope (and others) missed my point entirely. It wasn't about a picture not being posted. :rolleyes:
