I am not a trophy hunter and I truly enjoy the meat. I like to take 2 whitetalis each season. In the area I hunt the population is quite low soooooo.... I won't shoot any doe right now (when the population gets back up I will without hesitation) and I will take the first buck that gives me a good opportunity. That almost always means with the bow. In gun season I might pass small bucks the first week but after that anything with horns.
