RE: "I only hunt for the meat"?
When I rifle hunt I am mostly a meat hunter. I'll definately shoot a nice buck if I get a chance but the rifle season to me is a chance to get a few deer to eat for the year. I just got into processing my own deer and for me it almost as fun processing the deer as it was shooting it.
Bowhunting is a different story. Bowhunting I do more for the challenge of the hunt and pleasure of getting out in the woods.
