The girl in the photo keeps coming on to defend herself even posting a photo of a buck she took with her bow. Pretty sad IMHO. It's not just guys making the comments either, women are just as bad.

I've seen this time and time again in the hunting world. Something about an attractive lady with a dead animal really seems to set some people off. I'm no psychologist or anything, but I don't really think we need to be to understand there is something fundamentally wrong with these people. The behavior of some on this very thread does an excellent job of capturing this.
Folks who otherwise cry from the rooftops just how open minded and tolerant
they are, and how everybody else is some kind of "(fill in the blank)-ist" or "(fill in the blank)-phobe" certainly show their true colors at times like this. No wonder they are so quick to assign those labels to others - they are so filled with intolerance and hatred they are afraid of being noticed, so they constantly point the finger at others.
Shaun is a great example - I've lost track of how many times he's cried "racist!" or "homophobe!" over on PARF. Yet here he is, baring his own brand of intolerance (and ignorance) for all to see, finally ending with the glib and childish when he runs out of gas.
Take that nonsense back to PARF, Shaun. It might "work" in the dysfunctional little world you folks have carved out for yourselves over there, but it sure doesn't do much for you over here. It's neither cute nor clever.
