Ifly, respecting a game animal and other people is not giving up your freedom to hunt, it shows that you are a courteous person not someone who decides everybody needs to see their dead deer. I don't mind seeing what people have taken butmost everybodyelse could care less!!
AP Deerhunter...You must be confused with which post is whose..I said nothing about giving up freedom to hunt or someone who decides everyone needs to see my dead deer.
What I said was more in line with what you said when you posted "I don't mind seeing what people have taken but most everybody else could care less!"
Only I said I could care less what everybody else thinks about seeing my dead deer. Although to do so after I leave the check station in the woods they would have to crawl in the back of my SUV and look in the coolers.
Far as being a courteous person to anti's I said you wouldhave to stop hunting period..everything else is ass kissing and loosing ground.
Just do the right thing when it comes to hunting..if you don't know what it is..don't hunt or get with someone from the old school who has the experience to know what it is. Our hunting rights are not going to be lost in my lifetime..but they are being given away by people who are so smart as to propose making more laws against their selves and trying to appease people out of touch with reality. When it becomes against the law to hunt it will be because people made hunting look like something that should be done in secret and hid as if it was against the law already. You hide your kill and when some kid does on a rare occasion accidentally see a dead deer he will freak out. In my opinion in this case it's the ones who think they are the good guys who are throwing their hunting rights away and will have no one to blame but themselves when it's done and gone and it will be unless the ethics police get some spine and stand up for what is right and legal instead of sneaking around being extra courteous to people who hate your guts.
