I do however agree that hunters should adopt the practice for the better of the sport JMO.
Your opinion. Please elaborate on what your definition is of "for the better of the sport"
If we thought it was wrong and disgusting we wouldn't be out there harvesting deer, gutting them, and eating them.
Based on your argument, the reason to cover up our kill is to not offend anyone who is a non-hunter. As Hunters.........no we don't think it is disgusting or offensive.........obvisously, however our behavior would indicate otherwise and IMO be viewed as shamful/wrong. I am talking more specifically about wraping it in a tarp or bag. It seems childish to me.
ok you explain the purpose of parading a dead deer around town to them.
I really don't think an explination is necessary. I am comfortable with the nuts and bolts of hunting........even the dirty work. It is a mucha part of the hunt as the Kill. It is the harvest part of the hunt IMO. "Parading" is one thing, but taking you deer home or to the butcher is different. The problem is, it is impossible at times to tell the difference between parading and simply transporting.
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.
Just exagerated examples of how IMO a lot of people worry too much about others feelings......I think your efforts to "keep our image clean" could be better placed than covering up a huge part of what is deer hunting.
Point being..........where would it stop if non-hunters continue to get offended by other things? Where sir do you make a stand?
