Food For thought..

Post by Buddyw »

I was explaining this to some of the Guys I hunt with, when we were discussing Privacy among many other Topics while hunting this weekend. Most people don't realize that the Camera in your hand is telling the world allot more information than your Willing to give.. Like when you Kill that Monster Buck, and have your friend snap a photo with your Cell phone and Post it to FaceBook.. You just gave away your favorite Hunting spot!

Every photo you take with your Cell phone has the Ability to place the Exact GPS location that it was taken at..

So if you don't want those Secret hunting Spots Given away.. Be careful using your Phone to snap photo's.. There are programs out there that can remove the "meta" tags which are where this type of Information is stored.

It's a matter of Privacy, I'm not always good at it but I try to remove the Meta Information on my Kid's Photo's and such just because I don't like it.
