RE: Dead deer in public view???
I just don't understand the purpose of driving around with an exposed carcass with the INTENT of showing it off to the general public. What's the point? The only possible thing that can happen is a NEGATIVE effect on the 75% general population that are on the fence and ultimately have the upperhand in the future of hunting. Why take the chance of doing anything to have a negative impact on the sport? Do you really get that much joy out of showing it off to every Tom, Dick, and Harry? Is it worth that much to you?
I still say it is not a matter of PC or hiding what we do. It's simply a matter of courtesy and respect to others that may not want to see your dead deer while driving to Wal Mart. It's not hiding the fact that you are still a great white hunter. The deer would be under a big canvas or game bag and on a trailer with a rack sticking out. You'd probably be in hunting gear .DUH!!!! Roll the window down and proclaim your excitement to everyone on the streets that you got a deer (no dont' do that either) Fear not little Johnny and soccer mom will still know you are a great hunter and know you harvested a deer.
The risk just doesn't seem to equal the reward to me. Actually I don't see how it's rewarding at all but that's JMO.
