As far as that goes we always recover our animals live and yes the tongues hang out but we try and push them in as we are looking at the animal to make it look better. It may be the real thing with the tongue hanging out but it is not good to show this on video and in pictures. In my opinion is shows bad taste and gives activists more fuel and it may turn a fence rider the wrong way. So just maybe these guys may be doing this to protect our hunting. No one likes to see animals suffer or look bad, I have shot animals on film and hit them as good as you can but nobody wants to see them blowing their lungs out their nose as they die so some of this is done for a reason.
