Both.

 

[gkcbowhunter]

some people will pass up a doe or a small buck (legal) and wait for a big wall hanger to come up. i prefer meat but horns are a bonus.

We have so many deer down here it is easy to get the meat, more challenging to get the rack that makes you happy...so I guess the rack comes first.

I hunt because it gives me a thrill that only one other thing gives me

 

[Bowhunter71]

Both. I like to get a little meat in the freezer before I get too picky.

 

[BIG JIM]

Both!

I usually only kill one doe a year b/c I dont have a lot of frezzer room, and I am saving space for a buck. I just like to hunt,you never know what you will see in the woods some strange things happen sometime.

I been a meat hunter all my life, can't hardly change now....I see a time coming when it'll be pounds on the hoof, rather than inches on the haid; that will be the rule for most hunters.....just thinking ahead out loud

 

[huntbigbucs]

Both, but do prefer some horns

 

[daverhonda73]

Pleasure!!!!!

 

[Arkie_3_fan]

Because I like spending time outdoors during the fall of the year.

 

[TheBattman]

Both - while I am always looking for horns, I have had pretty much no opportunity on horns for quite some time. Only horns I saw all season (from fall to this month) while hunting were spikes and a fork-horn. I saw zero legal racks while hunting this year. Even after passing on several groups of doe at various times and spending more time on-stand than ever and doing scouting and supplemental feeding (including food plot).

But I also hunt as an excuse to get out of the house and just enjoy God's world...

I'm fortunate to have a place that I get several doe tags. So the does are for meat and I only shoot a buck if it is big enough to mount. After the first two or three years of this it made a big difference. Now I see 25-35 legal bucks a season and usually kill one or two. Before doing this I would see only 3-5 bucks of any size a season on my land.

I only shoot mature buck deer...7years or older... that have a minimum 20 inch inside spread and score 180+ B&C.

 

[possum]

[factory909]

i guess meat, or anything within bow range. if i killed a thumper i would just make a rattlin set.
