When does one cross the line into the "creepy" realm? Some of the posts on here seem to put a deer so high up on a pedestal, I don"t know HOW the person who feels that way could bring themselves to actually killing it.
It"s one thing to strive to make a clean kill and put forth the effort to find a wounded animal"but this whole "honoring" and "respect" thing can get carried too far at times. It"s a dang deer people. It"s not a person, it"s not some magical creature. It"s a deer. All it knows is to eat, drink, breed & survive.
The deer doesn"t care which weapon killed it, its still dead either way. The deer doesn"t care if its head goes on a wall or the rack is pitched in a pile with 47 others. It doesn"t care if the person who shot it feels bad for doing so, or if they jump up and down like they scored the game winning touchdown in the super bowl.
WE seem to assign worth and value of what should happen after killing a deer. Why?
So in the spirit of long debatable threads"what say you?

What!?!? You mean deer aren't mystical, magical creatures that we should worship at a shrine built from P&Y racks? Dang, burst my bubble why don't you.
