I dated a deer hunter and I told him how I felt about it. He said that he respected my feelings but he clearly didn't because he talked about it A LOT, even though I asked him repeatedly not to. I'm a meat eater, albeit not venison, so I can't say much w/out sounding like a hypocrite but the deer head on the wall to me is disturbing and it's also very revealing. He said that he deer hunts because the deer population is out of control and he's "harvesting" the deer. If that's the case, then there's no need to mount a deer head on the wall. We could never agree on the subject and we broke up, that being one of the main reasons. Good luck.
