Default RE: Why do people shoot little bucks?????

It' s nice to see large bucks in the woods. But my opinion is... You can' t eat the antlers. You can chew on them a bit, but they' re mighty tough to swallow.

I hunt for the big-uns but come the close of the archery season, I need to put some meat in the freezer and anything that' s legal by PA law is fair game. If a legal buck makes it through gun season in some parts of the state, it' s a miracle. Just my 2 cents. When harvesting any animal loses it' s glory/excitement then it' s time to hang up the bow/gun and find a new hobby/sport. It' s a blessing to put meat in the freezer.

Those who hunt for only ' monster bucks' are fine with me, and maybe i will evolve to that and consistantly shoot 120 + class deer every season. But until I' m that good I will continue to hone my outdoorsman skills.

Just my 2 cents.

Good luck out there.
