RE: R U A MEET HUNTER A OR A RACK HUNTER
 

Neither. I just love to hunt and take whatever good shots I can. If I bring home a doe or small buck that's great. If I bring home something more hefty, that's even better. Venison is OK, but tastes a grade below beef, IMO. Antlers look nice, but I don't really have any more wall space to hang them. The overall experience is what I'm really after...much more so than meat or antlers. The thrill of the pursuit, the anticipation, pitting my wits and skills against wild creatures, the sense of invigoration, of rejuvination, the feeling of success as I watch an arrow arc through the shoulders of a handsome deer...these are the things that bring me to the woods.

Both for me! I don't waste meat, but I'd shoot an 8 pt. over a spike!

RE: R U A MEET HUNTER A OR A RACK HUNTER
 

Oh, you guys are killin' me with some of these posts. <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

I guess I am both as well. I will probably shoot the first legal deer to walk by my stand the first day but then take the time to pursue a legally racked buck in the afternoon and for the rest of the season.

O U 8 A DOE 2?

&quot;R U A MEET HUNTER A OR A RACK HUNTER &quot;

YES!!!

If I see a big doe, and a spike (similar size) I'll smack the doe.
If I see a big buck, and a similar size buck with a bigger rack....I'll take the one with the big rack.

Stealth_Force you have spelled out my philosophy, I have several places to hunt this year and I will follow the same principles you do, I will kill every doe I can as long as it is legal until the freezer is close to full and then I will rack hunt. There is a MONSTER 6 point I have my eyes on from last year. Do not laugh, this 6 point has beams thicker than your wrist and about a 24 inch spread on the inside of his beam, no brow tines at all or he would be one book buck.

I am more of a rack hunter. However, I do not pass up the opportunity for some meat for the freezer.

RE: R U A MEET HUNTER A OR A RACK HUNTER
 

I never shot a doe and I probably never will.

Its all about outsmarting old mossy horns for me.

I get my meat from McDonalds.

RE: R U A MEET HUNTER A OR A RACK HUNTER
 

I B BOTH. I will shoot as many does as I can get tags for, and the past few years, I've started holding out for a nicer buck.

Some things are true whether you believe them or not.
