Montana Christmas Ornament Has Treehuggers in Tears

[Sleep Robber]

Doesn't look like any of those deer are on the side of the road with a bow on them for all to see that drive by........

Seems to me, if you don't get what people are saying by now you never will, and a good guess would say your most definitely the non majority if you think making a Christmas ornament out of a dead Coyote is okay.

Those deer are hung for a legitimate reason. All the six year olds I know grasp that and don't have the emotional connection to a deer like they do to a dog. If you get a kick out of the yote pictures good on you. I think they show bad judgement and red-neck mentality.

It's a dead pest hanging. No different to me than a Sticky fly trap.

If a coyote was really ugly, most of you wouldn't care either. You only care because they are pretty cool looking, intelligent and elusive.

That's in Montana, American are a little different than Canadians and aren't as bubble wrapped.

When you're in the US and you're buying a hunting item at, lets say Walmart. At the counter they look at the item and then always ask you if you hunt. When you say "yes", they get excited and talk about their last hunting trip, or about their dad that just got something. They are proud of hunting down there.

In Canada, they don't even ask you if you hunt, they just look at you like a serial killer and think you should stick to fishing......fly fishing at that.......



And 6 year old seeing that.....my kids started helping butcher at 3 or 4, as did our ancestors.......

Difference is the deer weren't hung to try to shock people.

Exactly.......


The big problem with hiding our kills out of sight is that it suddenly seems abnormal when some non hunter sees a kill.

If folks would see hunting kills displayed often as a matter of course - either in pride of a successful hunt, or to inform a landowner of progress of ridding a particular pest, it becomes a normal part of the landscape.

Heck, Hollywood keeps ramming all kinds of deviant behavior down our throats by constantly keeping it in front of us on tv, movies ,video games, etc.

The same can work to keep useful constructive activities, like hunting, in view daily until it become a normal healthy part of life.

I always laugh at the local hunter who hides his kill, because it's the politically correct thing to do - what a crock of shit! - All they are doing is bowing down to the antis and the David Suzukis of this world.......

To me it shows a lack of respect for the coyote. Sad.

its a dead coyote respect it why.
what good has it dun us as gun owners and hunters to hide what we do.
be proud of what you do ...hang your coyote from a tree, tie moose horns on the brush guard of your truck.
