Nicely said, KY. I hunt for the enjoymen of being outdoors and in the timber. It clears my mind and rejuvenates me. I hunt for antlers, but the meat is definitely not wasted. There are plenty of needy families out there and I donate a large part of what I take every year. My family doesnt care for the meat, but they do like the sausage and jerky that we get from the deer. Its a hell of a lot better for them than chips and junk food!

I teach my kids not to waste anything and to never kill just for enjoyment. Any life is sacred, and to take it wantonly is just plain wrong. I definitely enjoy the rackhanging on the wall, but I also treasure the memories and the meat that I bring home.
