I'm a meat hunter. Will I pass on smaller does and bucks. Sure, as a matter of fact that's all I have seen so far this season. Think the 8 pointer in the neighborhood got taking. This Saturday will be my last hunt in one particular zone. If the 8 doesn't show I will most likely take the 6'er and move on. Got other spots to get to. Same applies to fishing. Sooner I get my fish the better. I don't mind spending the day doing catch and release but that's all after I got my limit.
