I shoot as many does as I can, and a buck of a size that will make me happy, this year I'm hoping that size is 115 or better. So pick your label you want to put me in.

Mainly meat, but I like a good head too, depending on where I hunt. If I luck out and pull a draw hunt like I did last year, the rack comes first.

I usually shoot the first legal adult deer I see when hunting in Maine or NH. That's not always the case. Sometimes I let a small spike or doe walk, especiallywhen it's early in the season. There were time I was happy I made that decision and sometimes I regretted it. That's all part of hunting...

I shoot every doe I see big or little. After I have killed 5 or 6 I start to hunt a buck. I will only shoot one greater than or equal to what I have already killed.

I hunt for meat first ,then a buck.
Last year I had 2 does by the end of the 2 week of Ohio's season and I then worked for a nice buck.

I hunt for fun, If it's legal, good chance it's mine. Sometimes I let em walk, after all there's always the next season. And like I've always said ,"you can't eat the antlers". "But you can naw on them"
