RE: Meat or antlers
I use the "restaurant" method. (Smoking, Non-Smoking or first Available?)
(Buck, Doe, or First Available?)
I go with 'First Available".
That said, I'm still looking for 'The Rack' to put above the fireplace (the only thing the wife said that I can hang).
If presented with a 4 point and some does, I'll take the biggest doe.
A button by himself, to the freezer he goes.
If presented with a nice 8 or 10 point and some does, I'll take the buck. After that, if there's a buck and some does, if the buck isn't nicer than the one currently above the fireplace, a doe is going down.
Right now, my son and I have only put does in the freezer.
