I agree wholeheartedly that the taking of a doe or spike is just as much an occasion for celebration as taking a "trophy" buck. Trophies are nice but hunting necessarily precedes and is of more fundamental importance than trophy hunting.

But--

You've really said a mouthful here. I'm sorry, but this is nonsense. Just because a deer's central nervous system and relationship to stimulus isn't as complex as a human's does not mean that they do not experience "fear" or "joy"--they obviously do. Do you think that dogs experience fear and joy? If not, I have to assume that you've never been around any dogs.
