I like to keep my animals covered, just to keep them clean. Perhaps this is his first game animal, and he wants everyone to see it?

Yup given the way the world is going the city folk take pics and go on a social media rampage while the same truck pulls into a remote garage and the people all gather and talk hunting.....know your people and your audience before tramping around with a fresh kill I guess.

Don't think anyone's complaining about the size of the deer the post is about transporting it

The box had a quad in it and other stuff. This is a story about nothing except that some snowflake was offended. Back in the day.....way back...... it wasn't uncommon for guys to lash a deer down to the hood of their car and take some victory laps. This was a time before quads were invented and even pickup trucks were uncommon. Nothing here...

Exactly. I think even some hunters nowadays are becoming snowflakes. Jeeze people. His truck box was full so he left it on the hoist. Some hero took a pic of this fellas transporting method and obviously put it on social media and the news caught wind of it more than likely.
Take me back to the 70's and early 80's please Mcfly...

The simple fact is that we are under more and more pressure from the anti hunting crowd, and as their numbers grow, it will just get more difficult for all hunters. So why give the anti hunting crowd even more to rant on about, this will have the same effect, as the idiots posting the spear hunt online. I am certainly not ashamed to be a hunter, but we need to use a little common sense , and not bring any more negative attention on hunting.

Its not the 60's or 70's anymore buddy. It may be the only way he had to transport the deer but its a bad way to parade around town with your game even if you are going directly home to skin it. Why not throw the deer on the quad and tarp it or put it beside quad instead of hoist on your hitch?
That being said I I don't really have any issues with it, it just makes hunters look ignorant to the general public.

If you do transport a deer through a city, be sure to wrap it in saran wrap and put it on a styrofoam tray. It's the only way some people can handle looking at meat.

Dont see how this is much different than a livestock truck driving down the road. Those cute snuggley pigs or cows arent going on vacation..
People are SOOOOOOOOO detached about meat and where it comes from that I think they feel a a nice Steak is grown from a tree and Bacon on a vine. It is an inconvenient truth that they will never spend 30 seconds thinking about.
AS hunters we remove the middle man.
Field to table, as it should be.

This isn't rocket science. C'mon. The reaction would have been the same if he had a steer hanging like that. Or chickens, or a hog, or whatever.
You honestly expect some mom in her minivan with her kids to pull up at a stop light behind that and not think "FFS, can you figure some other option out dude?"
Sometimes as hunters, we have to stop jumping to the "we're the victim" and admit that as much as other people have to accept our right to hunt, we don't have to put it, literally, right in their face.

People need to quit telling other people how to live and what they can do. For me,I would have laid it over the quad and cover it up. Once it was cooled off.
No different than all the firearms garbage out there.

So we need to protect mom's and kids in mini vans from seeing this type of thing? My wife and kids (and now G-kids) have help me butcher pigs, cows, and chickens on the farm, and wild game in the bush their whole lives. We transport butcher animals up and down roads all the time. My kids have turned out just fine, and I will never tell them to hide who we are because other people can't handle it. Maybe we should be fighting for, instead of trying to cover up our life style.

I would be wrapping that buck, whether it was hanging on the hoist, on a travel receiver rack, in a trailer or in the box on top of the quad.
Nothing to do with peoples' perception of me or hunters in general, simply to keep the road salt, dirt and exhaust fumes off the meat.

Yes, because at the end of day public relations matter especially with so many anti-gun/hunting people around.

Does the average person on the Anthony Henday or the Whitemud, see butchered animals on their way home from work? Am I missing something? That's the kind of road way it looks to me. Look, I'm not saying the guy should be arrested, or even fined, but for pete's sake, put a tarp on it, or figure something out.
Are we going to be so stubborn that we are going to suggest that every hunter hang their game vertically behind their vehicle to make a point? To "desensitize" the wimpy city folk?
Good luck with that. I hunt, I butcher, and even I don't want get stuck behind that in traffic on the way home.

WRONG. Why do people continually repeat this nonsense and even present it as fact?
The fact is that the vast majority of Canadians support hunting for food. Trophy hunting has little support but hunting for food is strongly supported.
There are numerous studies and polls that support what I've stated. I'd be interested in seeing where you are getting the facts to support your statements.
Here's a poll that was conducted in BC:
