Yes I would.Nothing like veal venison.Our archery deer season is long here in Illinois and in the county that I live in and hunt "MOST"There are ample times to get that dandy buck.To much emphisis is put on trophy hunting and deer with horns.Don't get me wrong if a nice racked deer meanders by I will hold out for him.If I am hunting in some of the smaller suberbia lots I hunt for meat.Spots probably would detour me somewhat.
