A certain someone when I was growing up would talk talk talk about being this and that..... it wasn't until I got to college at UW Madison that I realized no one cares what you say you can do.... they wanna see results! , I didn't even have a name there on my tests... I was 9013471371! That was my "name" on the 100s of tests I took. That is when I discovered it was much more fun to let your drive/work ethic speak for itself. I show a lot of pics but I do it to back up my observations or comments on what Im discussing. I personally dont care if someone thinks it is bragging or ego.... it doesn't matter to me. I compete against myself and I'm happy in my own skin. I like to set goals and see if I can get achieve them....
Palmetto gave a nice break down on different levels of hunters IMO. I agree with his summary.

I found myself nodding in agreement with Bucky's post... There is nothing to be ashamed of, and no reason to hide your accomplishments. This is not meant to offend anyone, but it seems the people whom have not been able to get the job done to the degree of the people they are competeing with, are the ones that think those whom are doing better than them should not show there accomplishments...
If we were hunting for meat, we would not care about the racks and would simply toss them out. Acceot it or not, its a compitition of skill. We are out to prove we can do it... If no one ever sees your kills, why kill at all?
I say show it off, I like to see others accomplishments cause it drives me to work harder on my own. When I see someone hunting a certain area and killing big bucks, it tells me that I can do it too... Its possible.
Driven to succeed.
