RE: got me thinking
I'm a meat hunter first anyway and the antlers on my walls have only been a bonus. I've a close buddy that has 12 beautiful mounts hanging with the smallest being a 153 typical. He too is and continued to be a meat hunter first. Once he has the freezer filled by archery and ML he does become somewhat selective. I'm mush the same way. Up here in Manitoba we can party hunt so if it is the last day of the hunt I will take a smaller buck for there is always some one I know that that has an empty tag and would like some venison in the freezer. Or a second option is to donate the meat to one of our soup kitchens. They always appreciate the meat.
