RE: Meat or antlers
I love deer to eat but I'm a trophy hunter also. We can shoot one buck only so I want the challenge of a mature buck. If I had to hunt to survive then it would be different. Not oneof us hunt just for the meat anymore. It's for the sport and fun of it. We can get all the meat we want without hunting. So you can feel superior for being a meat hunter but you ain't fooling me.
I see this question every year along with scoring a buck for the record books. Some always make it known that they are somehow better for having only the most pure reasons for hunting.
It doesn't matter to me why you hunt. As long as we are all ethical and follow the laws then go for it. Just don't judge me and my reasons for hunting.
