I have always taken a "moment" when I find the deer I just killed. Always have. It just seems like the right thing to do. The dead animal deservs respect and thanks IMO should be awarded to God for allowing me the opportnity. If not for the deer, we would not be able to persue our passions. It's more than "us". The deer are the bigger part and should be treated as such.

If you do not respect the animal you hunt and kill, I have to question your ethics. To each his own I quess.
