Meat hunter here too! Freezer is almost emty so Sept. 18 can't come soon enough!

I am looking for a nice doe but hope to see a nice buck.

Meat hunter, but I think of myself as a ethical hunter. If its a doe w/baby/ies Ill let her walk. If its a buck it has to be at least outside its ears. Those are just my personal rules and our lease rules. Ive got wallhangers so I try to do better than those I have on the wall but thats alot easier said than done. I let alot of bucks walk last yr, a 6, and couple of 4s, small basket racked bucks. Unfortunately though, I have no control over what the guy on the next stand does.

I'm a hunter....No need to explain anything else.

I'm a little of both, I hope to shot 3 does for the meat. Mean while I will only shoot bucks that are 4 to 51/2 years old. Come the last week of the season if I still have a doe tag I will take another doe.

Trophy. Strictly.

I have plenty of meat in the freezer thanks to the feral hogs in my area.

I used to shoot small bucks. Then I realized the potential they would have if I would just let them walk. Now I see big bucks every year and usually put one or two 130" bucks or better in the freezer and on the wall every year. I couldn't be happier.

I do participate in a couple of draw hunts locally that are for population control. Now there I go by "brown it's down" rule.

State law requires 3 points on one side here. Once I count that third point, he's in trouble. I only take trophy does, though.

its always been and will continue to be all about the meat..

doe looks over 80 lbs and buck over 125lbs im shooting

As the ole goat is gettin older and this may be my last year of playing in the hills, I put in for buck n bull...drew both.Gonna see what happens.Not quittin shooting but have ran outta hunting partners!LOL
