I'm a meat hunter, but definately have to get a nice buck at some time. Jeff, no matter how big of a buck you hold out for, that little gal in the pic in your signature is still not going to show up at your house for a photo shoot!lol:D

:D:D:D
Ya..... So far you're right WyTrapp
The only gal I've got in any of my big buck pics is my sister...[:'(]:D

It depends, when hunting my home state, meat hunter. If I am traveling for a trophy hunt, then it's wall hanger or nothing. On a trophy hunt, I don't believe in filling your tag on last day with a lesser buck, just to say I shot something. So to answer your question I am both.

I would rather shoot a mature doe than a inmature buck, gotta let them grow to get big.

AMEN!!! Why in the world won't more folks think like this!!!Why is it difficult to grasp the concept for many???Take a Doe so the herd won't grow and let the lil' ones walk! Unfortunately, many folks still think that it is a "macho" thing to blast that lil' yearling 6 pointer just so they can blow to their buddies at the local Pub that they "got their buck". :([:'(][:@] Of course the number one excuse for shooting an immature animal..... "I'm a meat hunter". My question is always, "Why in the heck wouldn't you have taken a Doe then?"

VERY GOOD THINKING AND HUNTING ETHICS, IL-CORN!

Meat! Mature heads look nice, butI prefer to eat does and don't really care to spend money on a professional mount anyway.

RE: Head hunters or meat hunters?

I'm always looking for the nice buck but having at least 3-4 deer in freezer is a priority. About 60-70% of what we eat is Venison.If possible I will wait for a shot or hunt hard for a mature doe vs the 1st deer that shows. It's a challenge to stalk/scout a large mature doe for an entire season.

Both for me. During the rut I will not shoot does, I'm head hunting then.

I manage for a good healthy deer herd, SO.... the first to go are the doe's I usally whack two or three as soon as season starts about mid season when the rut kicks in I 'm hunting for Antlers....
