That is just wrong on sooo many levels .

True! Most people hang their deer with the head up...!

But then you couldn't make a display of the blood on the ground...let's just call this Christmas license.

It is, but it's also my favorite light display as well.
My wife's reaction..."don't even think about it!!", as she sees me eyeing the two lighted deers in our shed.

Having been a Life-Long hunter and fisher, and having shot more of Bambie’s cousins than I can remember (close to 135), I can honestly say that I have never seen a deer hung head up!

I too want to do this in so many ways! I have everything that I need, and could whip it up in about 20 minutes. But the wife put her foot down Big-Time on this one!

Pout, Pout, Cry!

Your discussion - and it's associated pic - got my attention in the bitter/sweet way of real-life humor. I sent these to my son-in-law, who is a hunter from his babyhood and bound to teach my two-year-old grandson the joys of the outdoors. (I bless my daughter for indulging him in his "addiction.")

I don't know, I got a big kick out of it and like the idea. However, I wouldn't want to be the parent who has to explain why Rudolph has been hung up that way.

Dave has a very valid point.

I take evening walks with my children during December to look at people's Christmas Light Displays. I am trying to imagine how my little girl who is not quite 5 years old would react to such a display. I can hear her questions and then see her tears in my mind's eye. What is funny to adults is not always so appropriate to little ones.

Rant starting - -
Sure, and it's a hard world we live in. I'm not sure I go along with coddling the little ones. Having been raised on a farm and ranch, I always knew where dinner sometimes came from, and it is healthy, I think. I routinely eat Bamby, Thumper, Elsie, Cleghorn, Rocky and Bulwinkle

I am also not a fan of the "Political Correct" movement for this same reason. Changing the name of the garbage collector to Sanitation Engineer doesn't make his job of collecting other people's garbage any easier!

Just because it would be difficult on the parent to tell the fact to a little one, doesn’t mean that the parent should shirk his or her duties. Does belief in Santa Clause or the Easter Bunny really make a child’s life easier?

Shouldn’t we remember the real reason for Easter and Christmas?
