If they were in the colockum and if a bull was taken I am not sure the photos will end up here.

The Dan Agnew Arizona bull thread would be a prime example of why they wouldn't want to post the pic here.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Every father should remember that one day his children will follow his example instead of his advice.

Uh..... I think everyone knows there are big bulls in the colockum.  It's the comments of did you see what camo he is wearing, what did that gun cost, why did he just whack the cape off, don't congratulate him congratulations should go to the team of guides that found the bull for him and all the other trash that goes along with people taking pop shots at a hunter who is able to do what so many of us can't.

I was able to hunt the colockum this year and shared every detail that I felt comfortable sharing so that many others could get a glimpse into what the experience was like.  Some probably thought I shared too much.  Many knew exactly where I was hunting as multiple people had trail camera photos and video of the bull I shot.  Thankfully none of them shared that location on the public forum.  Luckily it went well for me and I didn't get negative comments but there was ton of stuff in my story that I am sure people could have taken pop shots at me for.  I am glad they didn't and wish when others decide to share on this forum people could just scroll on by if all they have to add is negative comments.

Because when people post disparaging remarks or take cheap shots, it makes other people not post pics.

Plain and simple.

 :yeah: There are a few on here that have had a peek at some of the pictures in our albums, just the tip of an iceberg, we have hundreds and hundreds of family hunting pictures. I posted a few dozen on here years ago, later finding out a lot of them were being copied. Then later posting a couple pictures of bucks that weighed a certain amount, a couple even weighed by the Department of Game, I still caught a bunch of flack from a few on here about the weight, although most were supportive and encouraging there is always those who feel that if THEY didn't see it, THEY didn't touch it or THEY didn't kill it, then its a lie, a fabrication or it didn't happen. Its sad but true but there really are people out there that think like that, doesn't mean they are "bad people", its just the way theyre wired. It sure makes me think twice about posting a picture again on here, I may down the road but I,ll have to do a few pushups first :chuckle: :chuckle:...By the way, congrats to the hunter, thats a beautiful elk :tup:

NO PICTURE CHALLENGE 2022.
A remarkable experience is one where the pain is forgotten so quickly, the frustrations and struggles are forgotten the minute you’re done.

I can’t wait to do it the next time.

Uh..... I think everyone knows there are big bulls in the colockum.  It's the comments of did you see what camo he is wearing, what did that gun cost, why did he just whack the cape off, don't congratulate him congratulations should go to the team of guides that found the bull for him and all the other trash that goes along with people taking pop shots at a hunter who is able to do what so many of us can't.

I was able to hunt the colockum this year and shared every detail that I felt comfortable sharing so that many others could get a glimpse into what the experience was like.  Some probably thought I shared too much.  Many knew exactly where I was hunting as multiple people had trail camera photos and video of the bull I shot.  Thankfully none of them shared that location on the public forum.  Luckily it went well for me and I didn't get negative comments but there was ton of stuff in my story that I am sure people could have taken pop shots at me for.  I am glad they didn't and wish when others decide to share on this forum people could just scroll on by if all they have to add is negative comments.

I think the negative posts people referred to above were more directed at "that rich guy who can buy anything". I'd certainly love to see the bull but understand not wanting to deal with the BS. Maybe it was I who missed the point.  :dunno:

I think you are correct but negative comments could have just as easily been made about my hunt but weren’t. It would have been nice if the Arizona thread had taken the same path. I think that thread made it three comments before it started to swing negative

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.
