RE: the meat
It's always about the same thing in this type of question, isn't it? Does the size of an animals antlers change and/or influence your normal set of ethics? I'd like to think I treat every deer with the same amount of respect, be it a doe or buck. I'm neither a "horn" hunter, or strictly a meat hunter, but if an animals life is worth taking, I'll do all I can to insure the meat does not go to waste.
