Situation addressed

[g8rvet]

It could be because I'm using taptalk but the picture still shows up with the title to this forum post. Now everytime it gets bumped to the top of the list I see it instead of interesting and much less disturbing topics.

I feel bad for anyone who accidentally walked up on that photoshoot....

I woulda shot the turkey to be sure it was dead.  Kidding.  Sorta.

The younger generation do it for the like and shares and gratification from people they don't know or will ever know.

That's just another reason why I despise social media and don't have a single form of it! For some, it's all about the praise and glory. If you took social media away, I bet a lot of folks wouldn't even hunt.

I don't know how to tell you this... but this is social media that we're communicating on... like it or not.

I'm sure you were fully aware that I was referring to mainstream social media (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or Snapchat).

Same here Jbird22!

I'd say his decision boils down to a piss poor sense of humor and zero respect for the animal.

I saw the picture before the OP took it done. I get it, he was trying to be funny. But I don't like anything that is disrespectful to the animal. I hold the game we pursue in great reverence.

Beware of the guy who just throws a dead gobbler into back of his truck / beware of the guy who doesn't straighten a gobblers wings and feathers for a good picture /  this was told to me by Mr ken Morgan on his front porch around 1988 ,, I've never forgot it ...

Someone buy this man a beer!! Very well said,I'll add the foot on the head to that list

Foot on the head is one of my biggest pet peeves!!

My respect for these birds goes like this: Before each hunt, I pray for my safety and thank the Lord for allowing me the opportunity to pursue his creation. After every harvest, I thank him for allowing me to be able to be successful with same. I take my photos, reminisce, walk him out and gently put him in my truck. I know it may sound strange, but I feel that I owe him this respect. This is just me........

I was told once that anything you post on facebook becomes Facebook's property and copyright. It may have been removed from the page but it's still out there somewhere in memory. I wonder if you googled his name and images if it would come up? I know facebook has cost many people thier jobs. I am not against using it, but I am an advocate for using great caution on what you post. Text messages on phone are probably an even greater risk.

Well said! That is a lot of us.

Social media is a hell of a drug.

True story. Social media addicts you and rewires your brain.


Also, I missed the original post. Probably a good thing looks like.

[Sir-diealot]

Didn't somebody else do this same thing a year or so ago?

[El Pavo Grande]

Disrespectful, yet not surprising.  Such idiotic type posts are not uncommon these days, with turkey flopping or walk out videos, etc.  I view that page and both father and son seem pretty arrogant.   Hopefully, they learned a lesson about humility, but it's doubtful.

There was a post just like this one on the Wisconsin gobbler stoppers Facebook page, a few weeks ago. Not sure if it's still there or not, haven't been back to that page since.

[Howieg]

Honestly, he was probably just looking for attention,,  like a un licked pup  does .
Looks like he found it .

I woulda shot the turkey to be sure it was dead. 

Which one?
