Come on guys, you don't live in 1800's where we did not have a store where we could get food like we can now.
You have stores that sell venison?? Weird.........I don't.
I prefer free ranging natural venison that I take from field to freezer with no one in between but me, my bow or gun and a few sharp knives.
If you want to eat hormone and drug saturated beef from who knows where and who knows what conditions then be my guest.
You don't need to shoot everything that comes within bow range, if you want meat, does are certainly better tasting, so shoot the skinheads.
I have never noticed does tasting any better then bucks.
If it is a trophy you are after let the small ones go, and shoot the big ones.
What if you are not after a "trophy".......or maybe your definition of "trophy" is different?? Then what?
And that is why we get a bad rap from people, because we are seen as the killers, not someone who actually goes out and hunts.
Very silly.
People who have a problem with hunting are people who absolutely can't get past the fact that something gets killed..........period. If you actually think they will feel better knowing you waited for one with a bigger rack then you have are sadly mistaken.
