Default Sport or Meat?

I've been wondering about this for sometime. Years ago I said there was no way I would ever be a sport hunter. Well that's the time I discovered never say never. I'm a sport hunter.

Grew up meat hunting. Now I can afford meat, but still love to eat it.

Horns aren't bad w/ cajun seasoning, but I prefer backstrap.

Oh boy here we go again this is gonna be one of those post where somebody on here might get offended
So I'm gonna play it safe ( I hope ) and say that I voted for both because I do eat what I kill but I also enjoy the sport of hunting and tracking the animal.

I'm a meat hunter and always have been. Buck or doe, I'll take whatever is avaliable.

I put both because even though I'm out there trying to fill a tag-ifI don't though,that doesn't mean I didn't enjoy the sport of the hunt.If I can put 2 deer in my freezer,I don't have to buy beef for the year.If I was a better wing shooter,I wouldn't have to buy chicken.I buy alot of chicken.

I put both.

I was rasied to not hunt horns, a doe eats just as well as a buck will.

Recently, I've started hunting harder for bucks. Does this mean ifa nice fat doe walks by on the downhill side of the season that I won't take her? No, because I still love the meat and want to fill my freezer.
