In the majority of the cases, I'll take the meat.

However, if the buck is an old, huge racked monster . . . the meat would probably be too tough to eat then anyway! [:'(] Then I'd want the rack!

Since I hang most racks up in the back yard for the squirrels in the yard to gnaw on during the winter.... I guess I'd keep the meat. The squirrels can find something else to eat.

A fanatic is one who refuses to change his mind and won't change the subject.

So you would take the rack?

How many does have i already shot or am allowed to shoot in the near future?
Doesn't matter...........meat's value doesn't change based on freezer capacity.

How big is the buck?
You won't make any money off his rack.......that is the only variable that could change things.


Do I need that meat to live?
Don't we all??.......I don't know about you but I don't feed my family antibiotic and hormone laced meat.


Can I take one side of the rack and half the meat?

No

It depends. If it is "Bullwinkle" I am taking the horns (I will kill a couple of does for meat). If it is a 4 point, I am taking the meat. It's a moot point because i don't see it ever happening.
Define Bullwinkle.


PS I am rack's #1 fan and most devoted stalker, I mean follower[:-]

the meat ,and rack attack is wrong you can hang cutlets on the wall just as long as you salt them real well first ! eventually they'd become jerky!!
