I don't fault u for posting as gossip and rumors surround every walk of life. I think it's best, imo to avoid it though. U will find this in hunting (say big buck kills for example) but substantially worse in other areas of "fame, celebrity crap or even wealthy circles - or heck, the small town crowd).
I'm not scolding anyone cause this is the norm in society - though it shouldn't be.
We are all likely guilty of gossip at times. I really try and stay out of it. When it comes to hunting - I really really really try and stay outta that. Couldn't get me to film hunts, have a TV show or anything like that (not saying anything wrong with it!!) because I love privacy and peace & quiet with just myself in God's great outdoors.
Any "story" like this is nothing new- since man has put pen to paper in fact. We all fall into gossip, temptation and we are all sinners so in ANY case- I'm not going to throw stones or at least not stand here with an "audience" and stand judgement. Lot of People do really stupid things. Every one on here can put a checkmark next to their name for "stupid and sinful stuff".
Back to hunting - go after ur big old buck out there, turn the phone off and forget about all the idiots in the world for a few hours
. My Rx to Anyone would be to repeat this as many times possible each week
