Polls

CSF is interested in hearing your opinion on various sportsmen's-related policy issues. This section contains the current poll, as well as results of polls that we have conducted previously.

Sportsmen and women have been on the receiving end of increased attention from the non-hunting public, criticizing the traditional “grip and grin” photos on various social media platforms. As a sportsman or sportswoman, what strategies have you utilized to address this negative feedback?

I don’t post “grip and grin” photos for that reason
My social media is private to avoid unwanted comments
I engage the individual in the comment section or in direct messages
I post more “grip and grin” photos to prove a point
When posting hunting or fishing photos I tell a narrative that focuses on aspects of hunting that the general public widely supports, such as the procurement of meat for family and friends
I don’t engage those individuals
