Rebecca Francis kills Giraffe - Antis all worked up

[Backpack Hunter]

^^^I've seen quite a few pics like that. Not my cup of tea, but different strokes I guess.

Totally relevant actually. You made mention of things that may disturb non hunters and hipster hunters, like pictures of dead animals. Guns also upset the anti hunter and hipster. One mans giraffe is another mans mule deer ...

How bout we tell the antis to kick rocks, and post pics of wtf we want? No apologies

Because I would like to keep hunting, I would like my children's children to be able to hunt.

If we tell everyone who does not hunt to F off, our rights will shrink faster. We are fighting a losing battle everyday. Hunters are hunters, antis are antis, that photo is not going to change that. But people who do not identify with a certain sector are the people we need in our corner. They are the "swing" vote if you will. Distasteful photos, poor hunting ethics and a bad attitude towards people like that do nothing but solidify their vote going the other way. We need those votes wether you believe that it not.

In her defense the photo is trying to show how long the neck is which is apparently much of how giraffe are scored. What I want to know is how good do old bull giraffes taste ?

I didn't read through the entire thread but for the new people here, you might not know that Rebecca was one of the orginals who got Rokslide off the ground. She's a top notch lady and a great hunter, too. I'm sure everyone will anyway, but stand beside her in any way possible.

She's always had a target on her back since winning Extreme Huntress. The anti's can't stand the fact that a beautiful woman is also a hunter.

I pray for her and her family...

I didn't suggest telling "everyone" to F off. I said tell the "antis to kick rocks" aka F off. That is not all potential hunters/ supporters of hunting. The antis are people like Ricky Gervais that would say and post the most vile things about this female hunter. And yes I have no problem Telling Ricky or any other aggressive anti hunters to STFU. If other people want Ricky " in our corner, then go for it. Personally I would put him in my bear bait.... if the antis wouldn't of made that illegal already

That I can completely agree with you on.

Here's the deal with the photo: If it's controversial with die hard hunters on this site, it's open season for the anti's.

It's kind of hard to limit a message on social media to one particular group of individuals. "Everyone" is seeing it and forming opinions. So, while on those particular platforms, anything I post about hunting is done so in a manner that I believe will sit well with hunters and open-minded non-hunters alike (ie those not already in one camp or another). It's just my strategy I guess. Like tipsntails7, I would like hunting to be viable and legal perpetually.

I would think posting pictures like that was for attention and that's just what she is getting.
