Man! Id go hunting drops for 30.00 an ounce. Arround here they buy racks for 7-8 dollars per pound.
ORIGINAL: Rebel Hog
The larger the rack the more money in my pocket! I grind all racks into powder and get $30-$40 an once...................So yes, I'm looking for a Bigggggg One!

If there weren't people out there shooting 3 year olds a lot more people would have those 160's to shoot...
That's just the reality of the matter...

I am not stuck on the big buck ego driven phenomenon that everyone seems to get tied up to. I very rarely pass up any buck.
MEAT in the freezer works for me.
Yes I would be happy to get a big 130+ buck but am not out looking and waiting for that lucky moment to come. If it does great if not every deer I shoot is special

In lots of the situations they have no choice. If they take a deer off camera or a deer that is not 5 1/2+ then the trip goes from free (or really discounted ) to full price, and in some circumstances with a penalty. Often I pass on young bucks. I did take one last year that was only 3 1/2 but he was the exception and not the rule. I normally try for 4 1/2 or older.

I've never netted profit a single dollar from deer hunting.
Thanks for the attack though.

I love being in the woods, grew up in them. But I'm still very selective on the bucks I harvest. Thats only due to the areas I have been able to hunt. Oklahoma and Ohio, there is no reason to shoot a small buck. Shoot a doe for meat.

Im not in deer hunting for money or ego, so i don't have 2b persnickerty. Sure, i would like to have a hawg 180 pt lope by my stand as much as anyone, but the adrenilin rush on drawing my bow is what gets me in the tree anyway, not a deers possible score!

I get that same rush just having them walk under me regardless of size. I don't need to draw to get that rush, I also feel good about letting immature bucks walk. More of a I could have had you feeling. Archery season is so long there is no need to get antsy and draw on the first set of bones you see. Let em grow. Shoot a doe for the dinner table.

Thatis just a fact.
I could care less what you kill, I hunt nowhere near you.
