RE: "I only hunt for the meat"?
I really don`t think there is a right or wrong to this thing. But what ever personal reasons you hunt is your right and should be respected? Be it for the meat, antlers, or just for the hunt in itself. My family and i love venison so i enjoy taking a doe or two each yr for meat and for the enjoyment of hunting in itself. But i also think there is nothing like trying take a nice buck each yr also. (IMO) To me there is nothing like hunting the rut and trying to peace together a puzzle with rubs, scapes, trail, ect,ect and trying to outwit a muture buck. But when ever i see a hunter out somewhere? or a post of a hunter showing off a doe or small buck that he or she took and is very proud of there kill i am very proud for them and try to show all the respect i can no matter what reason they took it.
