Just curious why you feel the need to cover your faces on AH? Always like to hear each persons perspective.

The question is not directed to me, but I dont blame anybody who covers the face.
Generally, if there is no photos of hunters with their (dead) prey, there would not be any public attacks on public media against the hunters. Anti hunting sentiment would be reduced to almost nothing.
Many hunters suffered due to their public pictures being getting wings and out of control on internet all the way to printed press.
AH is safe, as safe can be on internet, but photos can be downloaded and abused anywhere else.
I know for fact, there are some hunting clubs forbidding taking photos with dead anymals after the hunt, and I am not critical about this decision.
Personally, I have my job, my family, my life, my hobbies, including hunting and I really do not need anybdy messing my life by stealing my photos from hunt, and giving me hard time and my hunting community on public media.
Those are all arguments against posting photos with hunters faces, dead animals, guns on public internet.
On another side, sharing something to which each and every hunter is proud is priceless.
So, I am pretty much divided on the subject. I am not "all for it" in any direction.
I beleive, that this is question of personal "PR": when was the last time we saw any politician posting public pictures of their hunts? Today its rare, as it will create opposition from non hunting or anti gun and animal rights voters.
On a personal level, the question is how much PR we want to be, or how much political correct we want to be in a public? A personal question to every hunter.
In any case, when photo is taken, it must be ethical, no blood visibe, the game properly positioned, and some respect visible, this goes withous saying, or it can be easily taken in a wrong way by non hunting people, misinterpreted or even abused.
The public photo with hunters faces, brings some unwanted risks today.
