To the individual who called into "Sound Off" complaining that the deer picture on a recent front page was too much for them: Get a life.

You are probably the same person who complains when we feature child molesters, rape cases and other taboo topics on our front page. If you don't like it, there's a solution: don't read it.

This is a diverse community, everyone knows that. It wouldn't be right for us to not feature every hobby and aspect of our readers' lives. I didn't hear you complain when the story on a Telford taxidermy shop hit the press.

THe issue over dead deer and hunting is one that pops up every season, and we usually run a pic of a hunter and his/her prize in our pages. It's a sport, much like baseball or hockey or ultimate fighting.

And the picture wasn't that bad. I mean it could have been worse, like showing the entry point made by the bullet or the gutted-out body cavity. Plus, the picture went with a story about Nanny's big buck contest, something which we have covered for years and something that deserves coverage in our paper.

Don't you have better things to complain about?

Yet I guess if we aren't causing people to call in and complain, then we aren't doing our job.

What do you think about publishing pictures of hunters and their prizes?
