if a fella cleanly kills a deer,they have shown it respect,if they take out decent amount of meat to eat,they have utilised the animal.... maybe it could have been utilised more..but its still a darn sight better than dying with its guts burning out with poison then rotting in a creek feeding nothing but maggots.

And I too understand where you are coming from MD. Where I am coming from is partly a question of personal morality and ethics. The attitude of 'Shoot it through the shoulders and who cares if half the meat is wasted, there's another one round the corner' is to me an abhorrent attitude which shows a general disregard and disrespect for other sentient lifeforms. I believe that a person will gain much greater and deeper personal satisfaction with hunting and their own place and value to society if they make two trips and give away all the meat from the second trip rather than shooting to waste half.
If we consider that the non hunting members of society have as much right and ownership to/of game animals as hunters do, we are privileged
to be allowed to take their share and give nothing back. Doing our best to shoot cleanly and recover as much meat as possible and giving away as much of that as we can is a way of giving back. Full recovery is a legal requirement in most countries

Many hunters sour of killing and stop hunting, why is that ? Perhaps it is because they no longer get satisfaction from killing alone and dont have a purpose in killing ? Giving away meat does offer a purpose and deeper satisfaction for a hunter. If you ( or any of the six persons who identify as creeper ) are in need, I will bring you some meat, but no trout this weekend.
