A Suggestion
Perhaps the forum could create a section strictly for hunting. Title it "Hunting", maybe. It could be in the "General Topics" section. Forum members could post their hunting photographs and stories in that section, and that section only.
Some forum members...me, for instance...really don't enjoy going through a thread and coming up on photographs of dead animals and birds with blood or guts coming out of them, or seeing eyes bulging out of heads due to a head shot, and a gun laying on top of them.
The section could also be used informatively to show ballistic data and results, and if forum members want to show off their trophy wall(s) in their home, that would be a good section for that as well.
I'm pretty confident the forum software could handle another section.

I'm pretty confident it works OK like it is.
Tip #1-
Don't open thread titles that indicate hunting.
When a guy titles a thread "I got my deer!", he probably doesn't mean he bought one at the pet shop to keep his alpacas company out in the pasture.
Tip #2-
Be especially cautious at grocery stores! Most of them have meat counters with RAW meat on display. It is covered in a transparent wrap and you can actually SEE the meat. Some of it has blood in the packages. Most of it is skinned, but some has the skin on it. Some of it has BONES sticking out! I've read that stuff comes from real animals and is not made in China.
The fish counter really creeps me out. The fish lay there in the ice staring back at me with big dark eyes, never blinking. I've asked them to cover the eyes, but they never do.

Alpaca's a people too and need companionship. A cop I know got chased by a lonely Alpaca. Thank goodness he made it back to the patrol car. It's not like they're Llama's you know.
Yeah, those dead fish are creepy. No doubt about that.

How about a general forum on Hunting?
Why not? There's one for Reloading, and one for Competition.

I merged your post into another Office thread that asked the same question. New sub-forums are generally created when a certain topic starts to overwhelm an existing forum. They're a lot or work to create, maintain and moderate, so the administrators look at big picture and make the decision when they feel it's warranted. The Lounge seems to be working fine for hunting threads right now.

How about a section on cooking and sewing. We can share tips in mending torn shirts and soups and salads.

Sewing is on the "Possibles" list, but it's way below 'Knitting & Crocheting' and 'Lawnmower Tire Selection'.
