I might be inclined to raise that to 1000' s of dollars, but dont tell the wife. And yes, I do like the meat, if I didn' t I would not hunt it, by the way doe' s anybody have any good easy recipies for duck so I can go back to hunting them.
Trophys are great, I would rather get a nice buck than a small one, but for meat I will shoot a young doe. But if we were all just " trophy hunters" who would controle the deer population?
Some of us like to think we are trophy hunters, but to all of us a trophy means different things, a large buck, doe, or maybe some of us just enjoy being out there. I myself would pay any amount just to be able to be out there and see deer.
If I don' t get a deer a particular year and somebody asks me what happened, I just say I was trophy hunting and didn' t see anything big enough,get it?
