Your secret spot is not so secret if you post/share pictures

Pictures from your phone of hunts and finds out in the field or even in your home aren't so secret......a word of caution and how it pertains to MDing.

Thanks for posting this valuable information.

Yes very informative post.
One more reason to be careful where and when cell phones are used.
I don't take pics with my cheap no contract cell phone because they don't look that good and can't be uploaded - no USB port.
My pics are all taken with my old D50 Nikon camera - no gps.

This thread should be a sticky somewhere on the Forum home page.

Most mobile phones made today include built-in GPS chips.

I am glad I don't have a "Smart Phone". When my wife and went to get new phones I told the young salesman that I wanted a phone that was not Smarter than me. He replied with a chuckle "Sir I am sorry. We don't have any like that." I have enough trouble with having a computer and don't need one that I carry around in my pocket.
