Usually where there's smoke, there's fire. BUT.... I've got two examples of folks jumping to conclusions based on internet crap.

Year before last I had killed two bucks early. I mostly hunt a military base, and even though I'm not "friends" with everybody there, most of us know each other and run in similar circles. I changed my Facebook profile picture to an old photo of me and a big buck I killed several years ago. Apparently someone saw it and turned me in to the game warden on base...they saw me still hunting out there and thus alerted the game warden that "I was already at my limit". Since we were harvesting no does that season, then obviously I was still buck hunting. I had to meet with the game warden who had a sarcastic "gotcha" attitude. Never would tell me any details, only "somebody says you've posted pictures of 3 buck kills on Facebook". The hurtful and embarrassing part is I think she believed I was lying to her. It discolored her perspective of me unfairly.

The first year I was on THIS site, I typo'd the date I killed a buck on two different posts, and all these professional internet detectives accused me of killing 4. Same deal, it felt like everybody thought I was lying.

It's hard to defend yourself against the GOTCHA police nowadays. Everybody just thinks you're lying to cover your tracks.
