You know how the Tazmanian Devil looks at Bugs Bunny and sees him as a plate of dinner? That's how I see deer walking to my stand. Yes, I get excited over antlers, and yes, I'll go out of my way to get on a big deer. But when I see them, I see marinaded tenderloins on the grill. Woo Hoo!
My wife hunts with me during our shotgun season in Illinois. She only hunts 2 or 3 days a year and will shoot the first legal thing that walks by. I'm all for that, because it's usually a yearling doe or a button buck. I'm not about to tell her to let them grow, because then she'll never go anymore. She's always proud of any deer that she can take. And I'll tell you what. Those young ones are easier to drag out of the woods and they sure taste good!!!
