RE: "Shooter bucks" thread got me thinking (QDM Related)
I don't care if you're a meat hunter or a trophy hunter, it's every hunters dream to take a trophy buck. I don't think there isa meat hunterout there who if the chance arose with a doe weighing 150 lbs came through with a 130" 130 lb buck would take the doe because they're out for the meat. I hunt in a high pressure area, if I let a young buck walk I used to think the chances of them coming back as a mature buckwere slim. If I decide to take the animal, the chances are now zero of it making it back. I haven't taken a buck in the past, probably 5 years, I love it, I love the challenge of takinga mature doe. Most cases you have to fool six or more eyes, not just two. I see everything changing where I hunt, nothing changes the mentality of a meat hunter more than when they bring in their small buck and you can tell them a story of passingthat sameup, or better show them the video.
