Default RE: Politically correct bowhunters

I still think you ignore a segment of the hunting community that wants tasteful videos over not so tasteful ones. If a deer is writhing on the ground I think it shows respect to the deer to not show it, or celebrate that fact. A deer that dies that way should be sad to all of us, especially to those of us that take a deer's life. I think reveling in the blood and guts is a bit crass and childish. I'm not saying to be sterile. There's a big difference between saying "There's a good blood trail" and "Man, look at all this blood, that's what I'm talking about!" I don't want my deer pictures with the deer's tongue sticking out, not because I'm afraid of deer tongues but because it doesn't look nice. I don't take pictures of myself with bed-head and snot hanging out my nose, sowhy would I do the same with deer? I comb my hair (or at least tuck it up under a hat), smile, and clean up my deer so I have a good picture. You show hunters two pictures of fairly equal deer; one being a nicely arranged shot with a happy hunter and onethat's a"back-of-the-truck" picture, and people are going to be naturally more impressed with the nicely compositioned photo. It's human nature and it shows respect to the game we hunt and ourselves.
