RE: how do you do it??
When you hunt bucks, you' ve got to remember what you' re hunting them for...the rack and the meat. Getting a fruit basket 6pter isn' t very exciting, getting a fat doe is much more worthwhile to me, only way to improve on a fat gal is to get a fat guy in my book, HUGE 6pt/large 8pt or larger rack. There' s just no reason to take a rack you can' t say " wait til you see the rack off him!!" In years past, I' ve even passed up every buck I' ve seen for their ' girlfriends' , leaving me buck-less for the year, but I just remember that I would have been less satisfied with less meat just to get a small rack.
(Of course, here in KS, a ' buck tag' is really a ' either sex tag' so I can put it on a doe too, if it were specifically a ' buck tag' then I' d probably be less choosy.)
