Default RE: To gut or not to gut?

While I don't want to start a war (like the many that are going on already) on this subject... I think my words are going to anyway, so I will be blunt and I'm sure perceived as even rude. Feildmouse, I will BEG of you to NEVER come to Idaho to hunt. We don't need your bad attitude and gross sense of superior ethics here. We want to protect our animals and other people from your diseased way of thinking. If you can't respect the animal enough to be able to take everything of value then you have no business hunting. If I could I would take the cheeks, the marrow (which by the way adds a sweet flavor to stew), and the bones. I might not have the skills that the American Indians had when it came to making use of every part. But that doesn't mean that it would be bad for anyone to do. By any true ethical standard you are exactly what Atlas says.... Nothing better than a poacher. I will also say that POACHERS ARE NOT HUNTERS... THEY ARE CRIMINALS. If you do come to the western states to hunt and choose to waste meat, because "it is not worth your time" (your quote, not mine) and you are cited, then you can lose your privleges to hunt not only in that state but in any state surrounding that state. Idaho and the states that surround it have an agreement to support each other when it comes to poachers and others who chose not to abide by the law. The sad part of all of this is that even by venting and writing how I feel it will never wake up the sad people who conciously make the choice to disrespect the privleges that we are given. Hunting is a privlege..... not a right.
