You are under the mistaken impression that I abused this property or damaged this property -- the hotel room. I don't think that was the case. I didn't leave a bunch of crap in the shower. I cleaned up after myself. What do you suppose I do with my meat at home? I butcher it, in my own house. I clean up after myself when I am done. The only thing that is different in the instance I described in Gillette was I did this in my hotel room and rinsed the meat in the shower tub rather than in my kitchen sink at home.


I will allow this is dubious behaviour. But life is not all black and white: it is not all a matter of "this is OK but that is totally beyond the pale." Again, I cleaned up after myself. I actually showered in the shower the next morning. I bet the maids and later occupants could never have deduced what I had done.


I guess I would add some more details, in case this is relevant. I had field dressed the animals at the kill site and had skinned and quartered them in the field. Thus I was taking skinned quarters of pronghorn into the hotel room: no guts, no hair. As I say, I have done the exact same thing in my home numerous times, the only difference being I used the hotel shower-tub instead of a kitchen sink to rinse the meat. Clean-up after the job is the key.
