Fieldmouse, I hear where you are coming from, but you are not right. I know that your big argument(IMO) is the hypocracsy of you not using parts of an animal, when the majority of hunters do not use everything on an animal. But there really is a difference of usefull consumed goods vs relative consumed goods. As stated in a previous post, if you do not use the front shoulders, that is fine. But give them to someone who will. With your 20 plus years of hunting, you must know many that will find use of the usefull consumed goods.
