You know Salty, I am a meat hunter period. I have passed up very nice sized buck knowing that a doe I see is heading my way just because the meat is better. The first buck I shot I cut off 1 of the antlers for a keep sake and it sits on the fireplace mantle. Meat is the only reason I hunt and I will pass a big buck just so someone else can have it who would enjoy it. So don't go saying I am a "slob hunter" and can't get a trophy buck. I am from KS, now live in MO and will be moving back to KS next month, trust me I have seen and had opportunities to takemany trophy bucksand will have in the future. Their just not on my priority list right now. I don't even buy tags for bucks, the only ones I get are the anydeer tags they give everyone as thier first tag.
