RE: To gut or not to gut?
I'll second that!
Even though I don't care alot for venison I feel an obligation to see to it that as little of the animal is wasted as modernly possible. Even though I was brought up with the farmer's attitude toward death I still cant help but feel a little remorse and sad when I kill a buck. I usually stand over the deer and quietly look over the beauty of God's work. But then I remember that He gave all animals unto us for sustenance and then I go on with the work part of the hunt. I dont care for people that brag about how many deer they've "WHACKED" because deer hunting has always been my religion, my way of living in the wild part of the world that so many of us have come to take for granted. Enough said, I think.
