Whackem'n'Stackem' Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Which one is it? I'm a venison hunter and I think hunting for antlers is hunting for all the wrong reasons..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodsrider Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 So I can assume if you have a 200" buck at 30 yards and a doe at 10 you will you shot the doe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd cut the antlers off so he could rattle with them, but bucks = more venison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAC Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I eat what I kill, but it is awful nice to show off that rack! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportsfan41 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Which one is it? I'm a venison hunter and I think hunting for antlers is hunting for all the wrong reasons..... If they're over populating an area and need to be hunted then I don't see a problem with either reason. Sure it's nice if they're not just going to waste the meat though.

woodsrider Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 ' I would shoot the Buck......and donate the meat. Then aren't you hunting for the wrong reasons? Personally I don't care why you hunt, it's your business. As long as you aren't breaking game laws have at it. What I can't stand is the holy then thou "hunters" that want to judge the motives or methods of another hunter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dd734 Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Well I have two sons that will drag in all the does we can use. No one has taken anything yet, because if we all three take a buck, we don't need 3 or 4 does on top of that. Does are pretty much there for the taking anytime you feel like taking them. My youngest son has had 9 bucks on camera. Only two are possible shooters, a real big 7 and a 9. They are starting to thin out now though. I guess the are starting to split up. My favorite time of the year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldonetechnique Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 I have always been a meat hunter, I do not pass up many deer, but I have gotten a nice place to hunt last few years that is plentiful with does, so I have been letting small bucks pass to give them a chance to mature, but I have took as many young does or big does in there place. I also have taken a small buck with my bow, due to the fact that I have not killed many with my bow... I Think its up to the individual hunter, but I do get irritated with all the hype on big horns! I think any animal is a good memory and a trophy in their own right, us adults forget that sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spindoc Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Yeah, all of you would probably pass on this one for the doe he was chasing. He'd likely be tough anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
