Trophy or Meat This Year?
 

Dear fellow hunters,

Will you be a "trophy" or "meat" hunter during
this year's whitetail season? Do you plan to
pass on smaller bucks the first few days of season?

Thanks and have a GREAT weekend,
Boltaction

I'm always
 

a meat hunter, sometimes they come w/ horns, sometimes they don't.:eek2:

Whatever passes in front of me.

I'm a meat hunter.That said,I don't discriminate if something larger comes along.In bow season,I'll take does I suspect will dress 100 lbs. or better.With bucks,unless it's a big one,I'll make my mind up when I see it.I figure w/the high number of does around,the button bucks can walk.

trophys come in all sizes,,,guys get too worked up over tv bucks...i hunt to put meat in the freezer...if he has a nice rack soo be it...if not.......i cant eat horn...we cant shoot
spikes here so if hes large enough hes freezer bait.we can also whack one doe with extra tag..so if its brown its down...

I wish I had the option. No whitetails in Okinawa... :cry:

->Yes<-
^^^^^

At the end of the day I am a meat hunter, hoping to put 3 deer in the freezer/dryer.

That being said, as a relatively new hunter with no horns on the wall and several mountable bucks showing up on my trail cameras behind my house, I am saving up money to pay the taxidermists and I am planning to hunt the bucks hard until I have one on the ground.

I agree but if i know there is a big one out there i won't take a little one until late season.
