RE: Dead deer strapped to vehicles
I almost always put them in the truck - even in an eclosed cab of an SUV if I can, but many states require the animal to be in full view. Another thing... sometimes I rent a vehicle for a hunt - you can really screw up a vehicle with a deer inside. That can be costly. If I have a tarp its inside. But have been caught without one.. and for those times I put the deer on the roof but - this is only for point to point transport via the least conspicuous route. I cut the tounge out for pictures and transport and try to put the deer in the least compromising position to keep the visibilty down. So - generally I aggree that we do a great disservice to ourselves - especially the guys parading down mainstreet with their buck - but it's kind of like refering to killing a deer as a harvest! We do kill them and although showing the greatest restraint and respect when possible - I have no problem with the few times I've had to transport one in the open - by law or circumstance.
