The story is a bit... how do I put this...


now as long as we are straw manning each other I was miffed at you for saying that we should all go stand out in front of whole foods and punch everyone that walks out with kale in the face...

Is that a sentence? I'm the king of the run-on, but that is freakin AWESOME!

Sir, I believe that punctuation accurately, and precisely conveyed the intended amount of bloviation.

He probably should have used better judgement, BUT if he was dressed as a drag queen, and was narrating about a penis and vagina to preschoolers, nothing would have been complained about. Especially from the local school.

Bullshit folks need to stop being ass holes

Gender roles, sexual orientation, those are things that should be left up to the parents, but I’m not gonna be upset if a stranger tells my child his chicken nugget is a dead chicken.

I kind of think this story falls into the area of just try not to be an a-hole. Only analogy I can think of is public nudity. Pretty sure it is illegal like practically everywhere, but not sure why if there is some validity to “they don’t like it they can just look away” argument. Need the HT legal team to explain the nuances to me.

And only me and 1 TSA officer were aware of that fact

In 1995 Melbourne Austraila, late one night I pulled out a severed feral goat head and poked it over the back seat of a cab. The middle eastern cab driver had a melt down and almost kicked me out of the car. I couldn't stop laughing. Can still hear him.. "why you do that!?!"

It wouldn’t bother me but I guess I can see how it would bother some. I hang quarters in game bags in the backyard sometimes and do euros in the drive way but never considered it would bother anyone. Usually someone stops and gives a thumbs up or something.

My neighbor however, on more than one occasion has left hogs to rot on his trailer parked on the street for several days before taking them off somewhere. I’m talking whole animals, guts and all. That shit pissed me off but trash is gonna trash.

Personally I wouldn’t want to bring a whole deer home anyway and have to deal with the hide and such stinking up my trash can.

 

[TOGIE]

i'd just rather introduce my non hunting neighbors to my passion and pastime by inviting them over for some of hank shaws barbacoa and telling them the story about that pretty euro hanging on the wall instead of them watching me blow brains across the sidewalk with a power washer from my half boiled deer head and pour a bloody 5 gallon bucket of water from my washing my game bags into the rocks next to my house.

ymmv. we all live in different places. read the room i guess, if there's a lesson here.

The retired hunters in the small town I grew up in used to bring their deer by the school to show them off! Our principal would announce it over the intercom and ask who would like to see a buck. Boys and girls would go out…Big John, Mr. Thomas, Mr. Williams, there were a few more I can’t remember. Our Ag Room teacher Mr. Needham let us watch as Mr. Williams gutted a big doe. It was my favorite class!
Of course this was the eighties when things weren’t so offensive.
I take care of my deer behind my house and cut them up in my shop. Everyone around here knows where I hunt and I don’t need my neighbor telling anyone I killed one!

"Call me old fashioned, but I think kids should be informed about where their food comes from… I mean, at what age is it “appropriate” to explain to little Timmy that those chicken nuggets he’s been hammering for breakfast, lunch, and dinner come from real life chickens that he sees at the local petting zoo."

i didn't fully read the article, but i read the above quote at the beginning.

i mean, call me old fashioned, but i think kids should be informed about where the food comes from when and how their parents decide to inform them.

there's a reason i close my garage door while making euros and cutting up animal quarters.

why TF do people think this shit needs to be flaunted?

Not everyone has a garage.

 

[Buckskinbob]

I cut up a roadkilled elk last night in my buddies driveway, I hope I didn't make scavengers look bad

 

[Mallardsx2]

Totally agree.

But the reality is, and we all know this to be true, they don't. Any reasonable hunter knows that there are certain things that are just going to piss off folks. Doesn't mean what they are doing is wrong, or illegal... but it does draw unnecessary attention and cast a negative light on other hunters, and it's going to set some Karen off.

For the last 10 years I've lived in towns/cities, I've butchered plenty of animals and boiled lots of heads in small apartments. It's pretty easy to be discrete.

Do you legally have to do be discrete... no. But do I want my HOA to put in place rules against processing my animals.

That's the point here, shooting holes in the boat. Nothing he is doing is wrong, but anyone can recognize it's not got bad optics.

People can yell about culture wars, and feel righteous indignation as they slap "smoke a pack a day" bumper stickers on their trucks, but you are hurting your cause.

I get your point.

However, it doesn't mean much to me as I will likely go down swinging due to my own personal stubbornness. But that's my prerogative.

I’m not giving an inch of my god given right (to some Karen) to feed my family to some townie lol

Look where giving a couple inches has gotten us in the last 20 years…..lord have mercy.

I hang and butcher with the garage door open but I have a long setback and live in a semi-rural area. I doubt I’d ever get any complaints.

When I lived in an apartment in the city I hid the deer carcass under a tarp in my hatchback, then after dark quartered and transferred to bags before taking up the stairs to my unit to butcher. No sense in disturbing my neighbors.
