I just started hunting 3 years ago. I do it mostly because I enjoy being in the woods and I like venison. I would like to get a nice 8 pointer for the wall, and then would welcome a bigger buck to stand beside it, but I will also tag a doe or two, when I feel like drawing blood.
Last year when I took a smallish doe on opening day of bow season, I did get a few snide comments...but she tasted real good.
I do think that the 'what do you think this buck would score' posts are really silly.
