You guys telling me you buy 100s of dollars of equipment just for meat!For me its all that comes with it -the practicing-tracking-try to find the right stand-the stelth-and when a plan comes together.I get no better high.Lets all be honest,thats the most exspencive meat in the world.
Oddly enough I agree with that statement 100%! I' m not a trophy hunter. I do love the meat. But lets face it , if it were only about the meat we wouldn' t be spending countles $$$ and time in the field practicing , etc. etc.. In the old days (some still do) when it was about the meat , Joe blow would use a well placed 22 caliber long rifle or whatever he had to get the job done. If it happened to be a trophy class buck it might get another proud glance before the rack was cut off and hung from the barn rafters.
For most of us , the meat is an extra bonus. A very slim justification of all the money we spend on hunting when it concerns our wives
