After hunting for 30 plus years, I'm now selective on the Buck side. I really don't need to add another average set of horns to box in the garage.
I hunt in Kansas with my son. We hunt for the " Big Buck " till the last day, then fill our tags with a nice doe. If we come home empty, the tags can used in a January antlerless deer season.
I really only want to clean and process a couple of deer each year. Plus, you can't shoot big deer if you fill your tag with average deer. Also, that " nice " deer today is the great deer of tomorrow.
