I guess I would be in the shooter stage. I am a meat hunter first.......if it has antlers they go on a plaque with a picture and date on the wall but if they don' t I really couldn' t care less. The large doe I took this year looks the same in my freezer as the 2 bucks mixed in with her.

I don' t let deer walk unless I don' t have a tag for them or they are first year youngsters.

I am far from the best hunter out there but when the chips are down I usually don' t miss.

The only thing that keeps me from shooting is if I don' t see anything so I guess I would consider myself a shooter........pretty darn good one at that.
