RE: Are you a meat hunter, or are you a trophy buck hunter?
 

First I'm a trophy hunter but as the season winds down it becomes a qwest for meat... Gotta fill that freezer....

RE: Are you a meat hunter, or are you a trophy buck hunter?
 

Neither. I go hunting just to get out in the woods. If I had to pick one though, I'd say I was a meat hunter, no matter whether that meat is deer or pig, or even rabbit.

RE: Are you a meat hunter, or are you a trophy buck hunter?
 

I am both a meat hunter and a trophy hunter. You get a lot more meat from 180 to 200 plus pound deer. My family mostly lives off of venison so our staples consist of over 100 lbs. of burger and different types of sausage. Big deer make great burger and sausage. Smaller deer make great steaks and chops. I've allways figured that the best eating deer was the 1 1/2 year old doe, as far as being tender, but where I hunt in S. Wisconsin and N. Ill., they all pretty much taste the same. By shooting both trophy bucks and does, its like having your cake and eating it too. There is really no reason not to do it this way especially with the abundance of antlerless tags today.

It doesn't matter to me what motivates another hunter. I hunt for me and everyone else should do whats right for them. No need in judging or labeling someone for the choices they make. We are just hunters and lets just leave it at that.

RE: Are you a meat hunter, or are you a trophy buck hunter?
 

When I first started hunting I had the mind set of its brown its down. After I got my first recpectable buck, I started to let the younger ones walk for the most part. This has allowed me to spend more time in the woods, lets the bucks in my area grow a little,and I still manage to take 3-4 deer a year with my bow and shotgun.

But I don't like eating my tags at the end of the year so I often kill does when I start to run out of hunting time.

Not sure if that makes me a meat hunter or not.

Usually anything goes.When the freezer is full I become more selective.Also depends where I am hunting.Most people would probably call me a meat hunter.:D
