RE: Respecting Deer
It's all about moderation.
For those of you who say it's just a deer, a dead animal carcass...do you go up and kick it and laugh afterwards? No, because it is disrespectful.
For those of you who say it's disrespectful to throw it in a truck bed, or overa hood...why? Do you make it a casket like bigcountry said and give it a proper burial? No because that too is weird and creepy.
A deer is far more than a chunk of meat but far less than a fellow man. I agree 100% that today's society seems to place animals as equals to us humans, which is absurd.
My stance, Im in the middle of the road. I clean the deer up for a nice hero shot, just for my personal photos and memories...it is more tasteful than a bloodbath garage pic, to me anyway. I don't view the animal as anything more than what it is, a surviving creature. It is an animal, not to be confused with a human with a soul, an animal. I won't abuse one or disrespect a dead deer I've killed either though.
I have to agree though Rybo, some guys are just creepy with how much they revere and worship these animals.
