It probably isn't good to have all these videos floating around you tube, but they are. But it is what it is. PDs take flight when hit with a high velocity projectile. We don't mind sharing pics of harvested game such as coyotes, elk, deer etc. so it should also be okay to share a pic of a harvested pd. Heck it's even okay to post video of a coyote actually being shot and dying for everyone on the internet to see. As long as it's not "gory" it is okay for this site. And on other sites it may not matter. Doesn't make a difference to me.
All I know is that it's a shame we, as shooters/hunters, must make this distinction to protect ourselves. But I say, 'why try and hide the truth?' Sure it's easy for the anti's to use the red mist videos against us, because most non-hunting citizens could and do find it disturbing. Just as the average citizen would find the everyday slaughter of their BigMac disturbing. But if the 'gory' pics and video were not available to the anti's they would just go on and use the pics and vids that the majority of shooter/hunters and this site consider 'tasteful'. I guess we are screwed either way!
I can not condemn the guys posting "graphic" vids on the internet. They are doing nothing wrong, nothing illegal. They are only showing the same thing I've done a thousand times. I just don't find the need to record it on video and post it on the net.
CatShooter- I know it would be great if we all had our own private dog towns or our own private coyote country, or even public ground without the competition of today, it would provide higher returns for our trips afield. But if there were only a few hundered varmint shooters/hunters or coyote callers in this country we wouldn't stand a chance against the antis! They would beat us just by numbers alone. We need all the support we can get from anyone who is interested in varmint/predator hunting, or the anti's will win for sure!
