Default RE: Dead deer in public view???

I appreciate the postive comments and expected nothing less from those who keep zingin the negatives ones everywhere. Am I emotional about this subject? Damn skippy I am, that is why I am about ready to take it too the legistlature. Obviously those who don't have pickups and want to beride me and say that I am basically telling you to buy a new vehicle, you need to go back and read my original post. I believe I covered that issue by saying cover the animals up with a tarp or one of the commercial "game bags". I have had Suburbans, Tahoes, Broncos etc over the year and whenever my game was on a hitch hauler or on a trailer I simply wrapped the animal up ina heavy duty canvas tarp. If you want to leave the antlers exposed, go right ahead I see nothing wrong with that. I just believe everything else should be covered up.

Again I think to many on here are simply trying to puff their chests out and appear macho and draw snickers and giggles from buddies. That's sad because in the end it is not what I, you or anyther hunters really care or do. Like I said, it's that 75% majority of NON-HUNTERS (not anti's and there is a BIIIG difference) that have the power in their hands. They choose not to hunt for whatever reasons just like I don't care to garden or play golf that much. That doesn't make them any better or worse a human than any of the rest of us, we just should be considerate of their feelings and try to accomodate them a little better than we have in the past.

Sure there was a time in the past when we could ride around proudly with a deer on the hood. We also could carry our rifles onto an airplane and hand them too the stewardess and she would put them in the coat closet until the flight was over. BUT obviously times have changed and as our sport evolves I think we as sportsmen should evolve as well. If we don't the only ones to suffer will be ourselves and future generations of hunters.

I can't make it any clearer or calm than that!
