As hunters we are naturally wary of exposing our favorite hunting locations to others, and since many of us post pictures here and elsewhere online I figured I would initiate a fun experiment. Many threads have mentioned the use of embedded "metadata" in photos being discoverable by any moderately tech savvy people out there. Photos that were taken when the phone's location services were enabled are supposedly susceptible to being pinpointed via gps coordinates in this data. Taking a screenshot (which is what I started doing awhile back at the advice of one of the mods here) will supposedly change the metadata to eliminate this threat. As a small challenge and educational experiment, here are some photos below for anyone here to try and identify the locations. Two were taken with my phone's location services enabled, one other is a screenshot, and one other is a downloaded photo from my old phone. Let's see if anyone can successfully locate any of them. None are secret spots to me so I will be 100% transparent in confirming the location if anyone guesses correctly.
