First of all of you hunters that like the deer to hang out your cars just give all the Anit-Hunters more reason to believe that they are right on the way they think about hunting and hunters. To me this is something i love to do and feel no need to go showing off my deer once harvest. If u feel the need to show off ur kill get it cleaned up,mounted, etc... and then show it off all you want. Lets just try to give these nice animals some respect and not make others think bad of us hunters. I dont mean to offend anyone with this post but this is just the way i think of it.

I thought that the animal rights people made it illegal to transport a deer that is not covered...or otherwise visible here in IL. My friend got pulled over by a conservation officer and I'm pretty sure he warned him about it. So obviously they aren't really worried about it, but animal rights people will b!tch about anything!

Sorry I aint changing ,like the many of the cowardly politicians that have been running this country for the past 100 years and hid the bill of rights in a closet and amended the constitution so it aint worth a plum nickel Thats my feedom of expression.I aint backing off for no limp wristed peta puckers. And I do show off my mounts.I often stick one out the window of my car and drive around. I respect someone who hides it though ,thats your right to do so. But no peta pucker is going to tell me what to do, or force me to act ashamed of hunting ,the creeps.

Here in Maryland, it is STRONGLY suggested that you cover anything that you kill. I don't think it is a law yet but I wouldn't doubt if it becomes one soon. There are too many anit-hunters and anti-gunners running around (and running) this liberal state. I have a hitch-haul on the back of my Durango and always cover my deer for two reasons. One, to not give the antis any more ammo and two, to keep any gross stuff from the road getting on my deer.

PS - I am envious of all you guys that have your own property to hunt on.

put it in the truck and take him home and hang em up

When I hunt in Windsor, I hang it in a friends garage. People down here just aren't that hunter friendly. When I'm in Parry Sound for rifle season, me and the boys hang 'em on a meat pole just beside the camp. I don't know about you guys, but part of what I love about taking a couple of weeks off to hunt with the boys is going out every day and watching that meat pole sag.

I hunt my own land and put them in the garage and invite a few hunter friends over for a few brews and we all brag and tell lies.

BUT I agree with you Cardeer we fought to hard for our rights to give them up to some PETA wrists.
Not to pick on anyone but it seems the younger members are all to ready to sell basic rights down the road for a little comfort. A lot of blood, human, went over the falls for those rights, don’t be to quick to give up any of them to a bunch of idi…

Gutted in the box and straight to the skinning pole. I have never been much for flashing my harvests, in fact only the past few years have started packing a camera to take snaps while on hunts.

It doesn't bother me those who do choose to show the harvest. I like to see animals and hear stories of a successful hunt like anybody else does, just never seen the need to try to make my harvest noticable when I have an empty truck box! Different strokes for different folks!!!

I am proud member of the original PETA -PEOPLE EATING TASTY ANIMALS. Anybody who has a problem with me hunting can.... KISS MY #$$! I certainly don't do this for anybody by myself and family.

If it makes you happy go hard!!!!!!

I like to show mine to the other hunters at the check stations or to other hunters I know but I try to keep it low key on the roads. No sense in fueling the fire with the anti's!

The laws have changed here acouple years ago , Then you were required to have some part of the deer visible and alot of people still do. I just put em in the truck with tail gate closed.
