So you don't understand it. Create a law to make it illegal? What about the peope who do not have a truck or cannot fit it into their SUV? Why not make a law then that requires you to own a truck if you want to
hunt?
Never agreed to make it law. I do however agree that hunters should adopt the practice for the better of the sport JMO.

So our soultion is to "hide" or "cover up" the dead animal. Doesn't this act alone indicate that we also think it's wrong/disqusting?
I don't think it indicates that at all. If we thought it was wrong and disgusting we wouldn't be out there harvesting deer, gutting them, and eating them.

Who deems it negative? It is what it is. Why not take the effort o educate/expalin it better to people who are on the fence
?
ok you explain the purpose of parading a dead deer around town to them. I for one don't have the answer to that.
No camo in public? Let's face it soccer mom and Johnny can put 2 and 2 toghether? Wouldn't want to plant the seed!
Hide your tree-stands! Everyone knows what they are used for!
No hunting sections in Wal-mart and Dicks! The thought of Hunting and a dead deer may make someone cry!
I have a soulution! Let's just go ahead and take hunting to the "underground" and hide all aspects of it from the general public so that we can "save" our sport! [:'(]
OH good lord give me break. I love when there is a hint of change presented and people go off the wall like it's going to lead to the end of hunting forever. Nobody is proposing shutting down the doors to Bass Pro and Dicks or having to sneak in and out of the woods only at dark as to not be seen by anyone. Let's not get carried away.
Where I get confused is the thought process. I can kind of understand somebody that has an SUV, small jeep, or a car and needing to transport the animal. I still think it should be covered up though. But, what I don't grasp is the person that is loading a deer on whatever they are driving and consciencely thinks to himself I'm going to leave it wide open for everyone to see. I'm sorry I just don't understand that thinking.
