These are modern times and we all strike our own balance with technology. However, it seems to me a good bit of hunting is now about image and identity. In that vein hunting can be about getting the shot, and I mean the photo after. It might be worth pointing out this thread is about photos of successfully bagged turkeys, but still there are hunters doing it right and hunters who mostly care about "success". Whether you learned from your grandpa or from tv and instagram, if you want to brag up your success at some point you will push the limits with your bow, gun, access or whatever. I think the responsible hunter learns more from the mistakes while the hacks learn mostly from their success. If super shot or a compounds (or shudder-xbows) gives you an edge, the responsible hunter will bank that as insurance for an ethical kill and the photo hog will leverage it into the occasional success and discount the error on the margins.
I enjoy this group because there arent many online forums where the majority of participants share my hunting values. Now ill go find a photo of an old tom I got.
