Buckslayer 33's comment re "what did that deer do do you?" reminds me of an off topic experience.

A couple of years ago, I decided to move a few of my trophies to my office at work. Living in the Los Angeles area, I'm sensitive to the cities anti-hunting factions, so I contacted my building's Administration Office suggesting permission to bring the trophies by early on a Sunday morning when few other tenants might be wandering about. They said great, bring to the loading dock, and there would be custodians available there who could help, as there would not be much happening at that hour on a Sunday.

When I arrived at the loading dock, there, just inside, were two young chaps, dressed in full custodial regalia, entertaining each other in idle chatter, they were not guards. I politely asked them to give me a hand, and that we would quickly have the heads in my office. They stared at me blankly, and continued doing nothing. After three trips to the freight elevator, one asked,"what the animals did to deserve being killed?" I bent down, and said, "they pissed me off, just like you're starting to do."

I suspect the neighbor was fuming about Santos butchering his deer while stuffing his mouth with a hamburger.

Two things, if the guy is cleaning up the guts and carcass when he gets done then he is fine. There is no Stench, it all washes off and sounds like the good neighbor needs to get over it or move.

Frank Hlatky = whiney douchebag in need of a higher fence. Most likely just another hypocritical burger eater whose logic is baffling.

Sounds to me like the neighbor doesn't agree with hunting and thinks if he complains enough that his neighbor will quit. There shouldn't be a stench, and if you don't want to see it DON'T WATCH!

Happy,
That's probably what they expected to hear so I'm glad you said it, even though it wasn't true.

Frank Hlatky said. "You can't get rid of that stench."
Mr. Frank you are part of the Stench that sportsman & women have to deal with in this country. If Frank wasn't such a S.O.B.(sweet old boy), he would have took off his slippers, grab a box of beer and walked over to his neighbors. He might have learned something.
P.S. Frank grow a pair.

If the neighbors don't want to see a skinned deer, JUST DON'T LOOK AT IT! No one was forcing them to. The hunter had done nothing illegal, and if they don't care about seeing a dead deer, they should just move out of the neighborhood. By the way, even if he left the carcass after he butchered it, it wouldn't smell. The body would dry out and neighborhood dogs would take it.

We leave deer hang in the Mans Room for 2-3 days to age. It never stinks up there but then again it usually ranges from 29-35 degrees as well. If the fellow is leaving the deer hang in the tree and cuts meat as he uses it and the meat is starting to spoil, then I can see a problem. However, it sounds like the neighbor is some sort of hippie and should move out of the neighborhood and leave the decent people around him alone.

whats this guy so pissed off about. it doent smell and it looks fine

Chris,
Some people really don't have a choice of whether or not to live in the city. I have to, and every time that somebody calls me a city boy, i wanna punch them so hard that they're gonna need a new haircut by the time they wake up, but i quietly say no i'm not and walk away.

Just a neighbor who is a busy body that can't mind his own business. As long as the guy is discarding of everthing and not letting it rot to cause a smell I don't see a problem.

As stated above, the neighbor has too much time on his hands and has probably never gotten any game of his own and probably is afraid to get his hands dirty.

"I don't want to see it. I don't want to see it at all," Frank Hlatky said. "You can't get rid of that stench."

The man obviously has never connected or been friendly towards his neighbor. "Frank Hlatky," stated, " he didn't want to see it ... see it at all."
I usually try to understand " both sides of the fence." He probably wouldn't want to see a cow butchered in his neighbors backyard either!

I still believe that as hunters, we need to extend our hands to our neighbors and be sensitive to the needs of others. Who knows, maybe Mr. Hlatky owns a 2000 acre ranch in Texas.

Food for thought:
Ask yourself ... how many of us have a relationship with our neighbors, that goes beyond, " Hello, how are
you?" Do we even know our neighbors name?

someone must be board or not have that big of a honey-do list to be worried about what his neighbor is doing...

I live in a rural area. My dad and i gut are dear on the tail gate of his pichup, and hang them up in our equipment shed. We have never had any problems with stench or trouble with people thinking it is cruel to hunt. I take pics of my deer to school, and i explain that everything that is meat, was at one point running around, and it is just a part of life, it usually works.

that idiot sould mind his own frieken buisness. Deer doesn't smell any worse than beef. So when ever that douscebag cuts up a raw steak does he call the cops on himself? who ever said it, your probably right, hes just another anithunting hipocrit trying to piss people off.

americans today dont know that we hunt 2 eat. im 14 and got suspended at my school last year for bringing in a picture of me and the first rabbit i had ever shot. there wasnt any blood and i wasnt holding a gun. the teacher said it provoked violence

a deer carcass could lay there from november till april and it wouldnt stink it would dry up first, ive shot to many deer to ever think any different,all the neighbor is is a lettuce eater ,just another anti, that dont do any thing but walk on concrete his whole life,thats the problem wiht this world any more to many people cant mind there own business,maybe the hunter should call the c cops on the neighbor every time he sees him leave his yard with no seat belt on

around here all neighbors come to see it its bigger then the one they got

I have been cleaning deer and turkeys in my front yard for years and there has never been an issue. Maybe he should have him over for some vinson steaks and a beer. Then maybe next year he will be out there helping him.

its my land, my dear, and my right, to do what i want with the deer.

Its not like he is slinging guts everywhere or letting the blood fly. It just seems that he is doing what the rest of us would except his neighbors are offended by such gestures. I think that the neighbors should just mind their own business and it is their option to look at what he is doing. If it bothers them that much... they can put up a fence or better yet, move.

Do you neighbors get disgusted when they go to the grocery store and ask the butcher for 2 pounds of ground round? WHERE DO YOU THINK IT COMES FROM????

I remember as a kid, maybe 4 or 5 growing up next to the train tracks (literaly) my nieghbors would gut and clean a goat in the back yard and that would just creep me out. What really bothered me was they would leave out the brain and entrails to dry and bleach in the sun. Nearly 30 years later I still remember that sight, I don't mind it myself but I would have some common curtesy not to do it in line of sight of any local kids or people that it might really bother.
