Default after you kill your buck

do you just put him into the truck, or do you tie it where everyone can see it to show off??Ive heard some say that showing it off is fuel for animal rights activist fire. what are your thoughts??

I own my own land and go ahead and process the deer myself. In missouri landowners now only have to call in to check in their deer so I never have to leave the cabin. So the only thing I could show off is a cooler full of meat, racks stay at the cabin. Have harvested quite a few deer, and have no interest to show anything off but I recommend keeping it low key!

I just put it in the back of my pickup and the only folks that can see it are the 18 wheeler drivers.

I just put it in the back of the truck, bring it home and hang it in the garage. The only ones that see my animal is my family and relatives.

Goes in the back of my truck. . . .I don't hunt to show off to anyone. If anything, even here in Texas, I am careful about getting into dicsussions about hunting. Never know when you are going to meet some one who feels that because I shoot the meat I eat myself I must be some kind of nut.

There was a time when we were required to have some part of the deer open to view. That law has been changed. I just put the deer in the back of the truck, drive to the house and hang it for a few days before we cut it up ourselves. Nobody see the deer from woods to house...(that's didn't sound too good, did it?) You all know what I meant!

Nobody sees mine as I get most of them on my own land and just take them up to the barn to hang them up and skin them. I shoot 90 percent does anyway. I am a meat hunter only.

Put it in the truck, carry it to the skinning shed and put it in the cooler.

I never really show off any deer I kill. I usually hunt on the land where I live. Now if I happen to kill a monster buck, I'm sure it'll be tempting to drive around town and show a few people. But after hearing about a member's buck getting stolen while he was stopped at a convenience store, I might reconsider. Nothing wrong with sharing pictures and stories though.
