Good posts! If that is the way you feel about it in your heart, that IS what you should follow! If it is strictly an either-or issue, then I'd have to say I am a meat hunter!
Where I hunt the doe season is fairly short, so I basically have to take a doe or two for meat, then be selective with the bucks. If I had my druthers, I'd leave the does as "bait" for the bucks, then take them later. But that is not really feasible right now, unless I am willing to take the chance of no venison!

Hopefully, next season, I'll be in a new area, that has a different management concept, but in reality, a legal deer is what its all about!
Because, if it were only up to "trophy hunters" to keep hunting alive, it would be far to expensive for most of us to hunt! Public, and cheaper hunting, could not survive financially with only trophy hunters support!
