better of the sport meaning not doing anything that could be viewed in a negative light by the people that hold the future of hunting in their hands (75% general public). Other examples: Dogs being shot, humans being shot, houses being shot, deer hides and skeletons being dumped along roadsides, etc...... And along those lines IMO transporting a dead deer on the roof or hood ofa car doesn't shed the best light on hunting in the eyes of the public.

I guess that's where we disagree the most. I have a hard time understanding how parading a dead carcass around on top of a car for everyone in the world to see is "a huge part of hunting". There are bigger things in hunting than that IMO. I don't see how it's a part of hunting at all to be honest with you.
To me hunting is the scouting, the preperation, the practice to be a marksman, the skill, the persistence, the determination, the analyzing, the outwitting, playing the wind, stand locations, the choices, the ethics, enjoyment of the great outdoors, the friendships created, the harvest, and the meat.

Those are the things I think about when I think about having a fullfilled hunting season. Parading a deer around town wouldn't add one iota of happiness to my hunting experiences and I fail to see how it does for anyone. I suppose it does for others, but I guess I just don't understand that. So be it.... we'll agree to disagree I suppose.

I guess I'm just not an in your face/bragging/show off kind of hunter. I don't need to have people driving down the road next to me tooting their horn and giving me a thumbs up as my buck is strapped to the car. I'll keep my pleasures of hunting to myself, my huning peers, my family, and any of the 75% of the general public that WANTS to hear about it. I will not however force the issue to the ones that don't WANT to hear(or see) about it.
