I find it highly respectful to those around you, as well as toyour downed quarry, to quickly load it into your vehicle, and take it home for processing. Red Allison's right - there's no need to turn the stomachs of dozens, just to gloat about your kill. Most people don't hunt, and dead animals aren't exactly "sightly."

When I take a game animal of any kind, I drag it to my car, load it into the trunk, and proceed home without fanfare, without showing it off, and try to do so as quickly and with as much decency as possible.

When I bag a trophy that I'd like to show off to my friends/family, I properly hang same in my enclosed garage, out of the public eye. There's simplyno need tohang it from a tree in the front yard.

I look at it like this: Certain things can deeply offend certain individuals. To get an accurate introspective, you must look at things conversely, from the other side of the fence.

Let's say, hypothetically, that you are deeply offended by public displays of homosexual affection. You can then appreciate the fact that gay men engage in such affectionate encounters "behind closed doors," right? The same applies here. Have some respect for non-hunters and kids, and keep your bloody carcasses under wraps. Close you tailgate. Put your deer in the trunk. Just think about other people.

I don't know about passing a law, but I do encourage others to go the extra mile and have some respect and regard for their fellow countrymen.
