Default RE: why not show the kill shot???

OK - I think there are a number of considerations to make here. Not the least of which is man's general distaste of gore, natural or otherwise. When you go to the funeral home, the person is all laid out nice for visiting. "Geez, we know they're back there embalming him, why can't we just go back there, and see him that way?" I agree with kodiak, and some of the other guys - you know what it looks like - what are you learning by seeing that part? I do care what non-hunters think, and here's why. Some of them may be hunters themselves some day, or at least not have an opinion, one way or the other. Most of us hunters go on and on about "it's not the killing that is important" - it's the hunt, it's the stalk, it's being one with nature, it's the heritage, it's the camraderie... and so on. If we really believe that, that's what we want to show non-hunters, or new hunters. Hook them on that, and the killing, which is the most distasteful part after all, won't seem so bad. My opinion.
