Default RE: Head hunters or meat hunters?

I'm a hunter. I'm just as happy a dropping a doe than taking an average buck. It took me several years of hunting to drop my first buck. Up to that point, I had my share of does and to be honest...after getting that first buck under my belt, it just doesn't matter to me what i get.

For instance, one zone I hunt makes us take an adult doe before a quality buck. On the first day I got my adult doe and was ready to drop a buck the next day. Sure enough, at 7AM on day #2 here comes 3 does and a 6 pointer. The 6 pointer was lagging behind by about 40 yards and the does were almost on top of me. I dropped the two does and watched the others scatter. It didn't bother me one bit that I had to let the buck go.

I use all the meat and if I am so lucky to get many deer, I donate them to my fire department for their annual venison dinner fundraiser.
