Well said!! (I hope this isn't a "Hi-Jac" ) I have some nice deer on the wall, & I have been accused of such, It couldn't be farther from the truth, I hunt venison!! and with venison in mind it is the doe I prefer in the freezer, not much "Sweeter" than a corn fed doe, I took a nice buck this past year, a northern deer, all rutted up, we will consume it. Most of the time I will pass on a buck for this reason, BUT like every hunter I hope for the big one.
I hope this isn't a hi-jac but just like the person who thought maybe this was a pen-deer, there are those who think every hunter is out for the TROPHY, and I don't think that is the case, Doc
