RE: Well, this encounter was weird.
Although it shouldn't matter how you transport your deer, as long as it's safe, I have to side with PM69442 on this one. There are some ways to transport that are simply more 'respectable' to non-hunters that don't wanna see a dead deer strapped to an atv going down the highway. Mine are in my pickup bed, covered by the tonneau. I personally don't mind seeing it, but what about the little kids with non-hunting parents? They can be swayed to hate hunting if their only experiences are seeing dead animals strapped to trucks. I'd say next time, wrap it up (this would protect it from road debris as well) or place it where it cannot be seen so easily. It's fine to be proud, but not everyone wants to see a carcass on their way to work. We should respect that, I think. JMHO.

Nothing wrong with being proud of the kill, but be respectfull of non hunters too. Lots of people are grossed out by a dead animal. Just like I am grossed out by two men kissing each other on the lips!

I live in Monroe, but I hunt in Union Parish. The turnoff to my club is off of Hwy. 2 through Farmerville.

The guys who kiss each other on the lips don't hide it because I'll be offended. Therefore...... I'll show off my dead critters all day long. If I have to learn to accept others as they are.. then they will have to learn to accept me.

RE: Well, this encounter was weird.
And I don't take offense at your pride in wanting to display your deer.....but it helps me make my mind up on who I wouldn't go hunt with. It's just a matter of common courtesy and common sense......and............nuff said
