I think this picture is different.
I have the same feelings you have about gruesome photos guys post that are unnecessary, such as brain shot close-ups, guts, etc...
Like I say, this is different. It is "how it fell". It fell on a slight decline, head downhill. It pumped out blood quickly. Very much like a slaughter house would to insure quality meat.
Rick, nice hunt, nice report and nice goat. Also nice technique on making sure that missing a kill shot did mean a clean miss and not a wounding hit.
Regarding the blood in the pic it appears to me there is a combination of arterial blood and venous blood (bright red vs darker one) interesting for me from the medical perspective and I can watch it with analytical eyes, not getting my feelings hurt. I do think posting gruesome pictures for the sake of it is tasteless, but I agree with this picture reflecting a specific situation, goat, open terrain, gun, etc.
