I agree with WT on this one, and that article in the deer magazine of his has been written in several other magazines that I have read. We kill things plain and simple, and that even goes for cows that are raised to be eaten. Those cows aren't harvested, just as deer that stay around food plots are not harvested. They are all killed. The chicken in your chicken sandwich, the pork in your pork BBQ, and the steak on your grill were all killed.

Regarding photos, I will also give credit to WT where credit is due. He has posted some really nice picks on here. Some that come to mind are the pic of he and his brother with nice bucks in a field with their guns laid across the animal, a setting sun, and a mountain in the background. Two other nice pics that I can think of from him are the one of our taxidermist and the other of our taxidermist's son. Of course, I liked the story that went along with the deer killed by the taxidermist's son.

As far as riding around with deer hanging out of my truck, the only way that would happen is if I had them piled so high that they were above the walls of the bed. I try to keep them away from everybody's view, not because of politic correctness, but because of little children. A lot of kids don't understand death, and I don't want to be the one that causes their parents to have to explain it to them. Kind of like I wouldn't want any of my kids to learn about Santa Claus through somebody else. Of course, my kids will be exposed to dead animals at a young age, so I'll deal with the issue when it comes up.

There are a lot of things I hate to see being done in public, but I put up with it. However, I try to act the way I would like everybody else to act. Very rarely will you see me displaying public displays of affection, and if so, they will not be to a degree that makes you think my wife and I should get a room.

I also agree that our society has some major issues. I think we have grown soft and corrupt. Everybody wants something for nothing and nobody wants to work.
