RE: Well, this encounter was weird.
Display the deer however you see fit.I am not going to cater to any non hunting or peta member because they don't like it.[&:]
THIS IS AMERICA and I have freedoms,if they don't like it then don't look.This do gooder stuff and appeasers are almost comical.
When youstart hiding your kill,you are playing into their hands.They are making it taboo to be a hunter and we are allowing it to happen with this crap.Be proud of your harvest and your contribution to the community.
my 2 cents

RE: Well, this encounter was weird.
ORIGINAL: Beezer
If I load my Rancher in the back of my Quad Cab Dakota it's riding on the open tailgate. I wouldn't have anywhere to put the deer in the bed either. He can ride the seat, ride the rack or be stuffed underneath, but he's not riding in the cab. I don't know what kind of truck or what kind of ATV, but in some cases there's no choice. I don't think there was any intent to "parade" a dead deer around for the public to see. Just a guy getting his deer home the best way he knew how to.
Depending on my mood, I'd have stopped and explained to the woman.......
Good mood- "This is the only way I have to transport it miss, I apologize if my legal harvest of an animal offends you."
Bad mood- "Here miss, allow me to hold it's head up so you can get a good clear photo....by the way, can you send me a copy of it?"

After getting back to my camp, I put my atv with the deer strapped to it in the back of my truck, and left for home, which is about a 50 mile drive.

EVEN GIVING THEM MORE AMMO AGAINST US.. WILL DO THEM NO GOOD.
I WOULDNT MIND DRIVING THROUGH A WHOLE ANTI-HUNTER RALLY WITH A DEAD DEER IN THE TRUCK.
But, Maybe i am speaking this way because I LIVE IN TEXAS and I have no fear of EVER having any real problem with anti-Hunters and such.
Perhaps in other states its a little more touchy. But thats a reason why I STAY IN TEXAS

RE: Well, this encounter was weird.
Twice this happend...
Pulled over by a police officer for speeding.
1 of the times, i was doing 74 in a 55. (dont ask me why)
1 of those times i had a Dead Hog in the back, another time... it was just a bunch of Dried Blood in the back of the truck.
TWICE this sparked a Friendly conversation about hunting.. (as we do here on the post)
where do you hunt? see anything good? are they in the rutt now? alot of hogs out that way?
and twice, i left without a ticket and without even a warning !!

I don't know about your laws on transporting game but, here in Maine it has to be in clear veiw and not covered. Up here covered = poached. Congrats on your critter(s)

RE: Well, this encounter was weird.
Hey all,
Went out for the start of muzzle loader season this past saturday morning here in northeast Louisiana. I got into my tripod at 5:30am, and at 8:00am, a medium sized doe walks out and I put her down. After I tracked her down, gave thanks toGod forher, I headed back to camp.After getting back to my camp, I put my atv with the deer strapped to it in the back of my truck, and left for home, which is about a 50 mile drive. Now, in the area I'm driving through, dead deer on vehicles or trailers is a common sight. While driving, I noticed this woman pull up behind me, lean forward in her car, narrow her eyes and start staring at my deer. After a few seconds of staring, she yanks out a cell phone and starts talking and still staring at my deer. So, I slowed down a bit, just to see if she would pass me, but she never did. She stays with me the entire time. When I get within 10 miles of home, I glance in my rear view mirror, and she's got a camera out taking pictures?!? I mean she's got it balanced on the steering wheel while right on my tail, snapping pictures. I can see it now, I'm gonna end up on a friggin peta website.

called the cops and told them you were being followed by some one that is harrassing you.
And have them pull over the person.
After all you have a right to be left alone.
JMHO

RE: Well, this encounter was weird.
Last Thursday evening as I was driving home, I saw a moped coming the other way down a street near where I live. As I got close, I saw he had a dead doe laying across the seat in front of him! I found it amusing - I wonder how the idiot behind you would have taken it?

RE: Well, this encounter was weird.
I hunt, and I don't always wanna see a bloody, shot up deer. I mean if its a doe cover up the whole thing. If its a buck leave the head out so I can stare at the antlers
