When I shot my first doe a couple of years ago, the guide took blood from the deer as she was dressingit and smeared it all over my face. She said that this was the camp's tradition.
SHE!!!???!!!
I realize that since SHE is the guide its what SHE gets paid for, but I dont think im going to let any SHE dress MY animal. SHEcan dress HER own.
Hey Okie,
I know how you feel; but I'm new at this and that was my first deer. Until I learn how to do it myself I will need to depend on the guides.
Anyhow, I'm not much of a praying person, and this wasn't part of a ritual; but when I killed my first animal (pig) I kind of closed my eyes and apologized for taking it's life. I did the same for the doe. It wasn't that I was sorry for hunting them, it was more of a sign of respect.
