Friday Photo on OOD, anyone else have an issue?

so..............who here shops at the safety super store? table bumpers, sippy cups, those things you put on door knobs.

Look at the full picture, oh wait you cant.
was it loaded? dont know? no you do not know.
where was his hands? one was on the camera, the other, only god knows.
Is there someone standing in the bacground? a home/ structure? nope
was the rifle mounted? you dont know.
could it have been a cellphone and he used the scope to zoom in closer? possibly, most likely
where the crosshairs were mean shissier... it was a picture taken. whoop dee do. cross hairs show the focal point....what now, we need to ask for approval before anyone can post a pic? whos volunteering to be the picture dictator? aka "pic dic"
How was this picture unsafe? could his camera or phone launch a projectile now? some crazy james bond e.
Give your heads a shake! safety first 100% agree but where was the danger?
Answer this... you need to glass, forgot them? what do you use? serious answer.....compared too the other forums, I have found on here alot of bashing flaming and passing judgement through ones own ignorance,
All these threads do is give the antis more ammo, the more divided hunters are the weaker their stance is...just like my union children.

"Just cause you don't understand what's going on don't mean it don't make no sense
And just cause you don't like it, don't mean it ain't no good"

and yes, I too was taught safety, i was also taught be 100% sure by anymeans available within n safety boundaries if you cannot, then pass.

So true!

I am a brand new hunter (literally finished my course 2 weekends ago) so I have a very fresh memory about the training and ACTS.

You are to assume EVERY firearm is loaded until proven otherwise. HOWEVER, you are not to assume it is always loaded even after proving it and that firearm stays in your possession. Our instructors would only check the gun if they had it out of their site (including if they turned their back to it) or gave it to someone else. Otherwise like a gentleman before said, you are walking around with what should be by the definition "loaded" and assuming that all the time is absurd. Obviously you still shouldn't point it at anyone or anything you don't want to shoot but you don't always have to be eye balling the bore.

Just my two n00b cents...

To me this is against the basics of hunting, don't use your scope to scan for things, unless you intend to shoot the animal don't point the gun at it.

Why not use your binoculars to take this photo?

Maybe he had a bull tag but felt sorry for the bull because it had a wonky rack and since all the other bulls made fun of it he decided not to wack it.
Sorry couldn't resist.
