I don't know about the big racks being the best hunt. My father's 13 point buck was probably the shortest and easiest hunt of his career. This last year, the biggest rack inmy area was taken by someone hunting in the middle of an open field with minimal cover. That's not to say that some big bucks can't be a damn hard hunt, though. As for quality of meat, if I have one tag to fill, I'll take a young'in that translates into some very good steaks and roasts as opposed to a 200 pounder that gets turned into burger. No problem with those who do the opposite, I'm just offering another post on where I draw the line.
