Very good post Matt.
Maybe I was just taught a little differently, but to me a deer (or any game animal) is not just a couple of hindquarters, backstraps and "what do I do with the rest of the carcass?"
I'm so thankful to my dad and grandfather for teaching me the proper way to view nature and all of God's creations. I am doing my best to pass this on to my 2 boys.
If these piss poor attitudes have been passed down, and this is just "How we do things", then I really pray that they aren't being passed down to the next generation of hunters because that might be the last generation to have to worry about such matters.
AMEN!
