If I could hunt the way I wanted to.....I'd buck hunt, exclusively. Right now.....I guess I'm more of a meat hunter (doe management). Maybe it'll get better in a few years.....and I can settle in and hunt the way I want to.

There'll be a lot of venison donated this year, though. That's rewarding in its' own right.

Let's not forget why hunting began, "to put food in belly." You can't eat the horns but they sure are pretty to look at up there on the wall. As stated before, meat primarily and horns are a bonus.

Traditionally both but since we went to a one deer bag limit this year it will be the first nice doe or buck to wander by. One in the hand is worth two in the bush as they say.

Meat first. If I get a rack I consider that a bonus.

i'm hunting for the experience right now. the meat is nice, but i can also go to the store and buy food. the rack is ok, but i'm not putting a deer head on my wall.

I shoot does for meat and wait for a buck that meets my specs.

Nothing better than Venison tenderloin, eggs over easy, hash browns, buttermilk biscuits, country gravy, and a big Rack to look at while Im eating. I want it all!
This guy has got the idea!

We mainly hunt for meat, but if something with a rack shows up that's legal to harvest it'll end up on the wall either in the form of decorative rattling antlers, skull plate, european mount, or shoulder mount, but the meat still goes in the freezer just the same an anlterless deer's meat would.
