Wow that's a breath of fresh air Rybo. All of the extended talk of feeling and respect and honor for a dead animal got me wondering if I was on a hunting site......
I respect the deer by trying to kill it quickly. Period.
After that I make sure the meat it used because I would not want go through all of the process and have noting left from it to eat. It tasts good ya know.
I don't think I have ever put a deers tounge back in its mouth for a picture.....it's dead and I have the weapon I used to kill it proped up by it's dead body for the picture..........does it really matter?
Hell, I like to piss my brother off by stabbing his deer in the ribs when he has ithung or acting like Rocky and using it as a heavy bag as I sing the Rocky them song of course. ............[:-]
It's a dead animal and it's supposed to be fun.........
