We do use deer as our primary meat source so freezer food is most important. We bow, ML, and rifle so once we have our first 3 in the freezer we become more selective. The first couple usually will be mature does (will pass on little bucks) but by the time ML comes along we have a pretty good idea what's moving in the area (roaming bucks) so we become more selective. We also do all of our own butchering and the processing of the meat so that expense is not an issue. Trophy hunting is not a concern but we have havested a number of real quallity bucks. Comes down to knowing the area and being at the right place at the right time.
