RE: If you just have to shoot a young buck.....
I zoomed through my Tivo the other day and watched one of Jim Shockey's shows where he and his 80 plus year old dad go hunting for deer. Jim wanted him to take the big buck but it took some convincing.
No! said his dad. That big buck I shot last year was too chewy. Your mom wouldn't cook it. Had to have the dam thing ground up into burger. I'm waiting for spikehorn!
Perhaps scripted but comical nonetheless.
