 It's all been said above, I like meat. If I want horns it's save the pennies up and go to Texas or Alberta with the 300 WinMag just for horns and 300lbs of jerky meat.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Well I for one like the meat and the horns! ;D The bigger the horns the better,the sweeter and tender the meat all the better also.I love it, and  do my part every year to fill the freezer,but I also love to match wits with them big ol knarly stinkiing rutty boys.Pick one out and hunt him,and you'll find that you'll get plenty of chances at other deer. When the feeling hits me to shoot one, then I'll be the first to dump the string on a lil nursery babe! ;)

I like to hunt trophy K&F whitetails.-- In fact I'm a charter member of the Knife and Fork Club  with several book animals- recipe book that is.

It's easier to pick a spot when it has a bunch of spots growing all over it...;D ;D

when a doe and a yearling came out when i was younger i was told to kill the yearling. (not a spotted fawn hillbilly ::), grandpa would throw a skillet at me if i shot one,but a younger deer) they are tenderer.

but back then my dad hunted to and the freezer was always full within the first month of rifle season. now its a little harder.
lets just shoot it

I like meat, but I also like the big antlers too.  I'm still waiting for my big one to come by.  Nothing wrong with wanting big antlers.  Sure, young ones eat better but the big ones usually produce more meat.  Granted I haven't got one yet this year so it's a "if it's brown, it's down,"  right now.  Big antlers make big knife handles too. :)

There's jsut aren't any trophies around where I hunt. Just does. We had one buck- no one got him (and I even missed him with my father's rifle) but he finally met his end on the side of the road. Just not in the cards. Heck, trying to get one of the few does that are around once in a while is hard enough for me!

But I'm with Eddie. If I wanted a trophy I'd go elsehwere and get a REAl TROPHY! I'd prefer fangs instead of antlers though- or tusks! Big tusks brought low by a huge honkin' arrow... >:D

honestly I really don't care to shoot bucks.  Everyone it seems is after them, and I'd rather just leave them alone.  But when a big fat doe walks within range, I get DOE FEVER!!!  Yeah, try keeping your nerves under control when a big slickhead shows up at 15 yards.  I've had opportunities at bucks, but didn't shoot.  Plus, there are usually far too many does anyway, so I'm gunning for them.  Also, when you hunt with a primitive bow you just can't afford to be choosy, unless you live in a very good area or you have a jammin place to hunt with lots of deer and no hunting pressure.  Most of us don't have that opportunity.  I take advantage of any opportunity, and I don't think twice about dropping the string on a doe.  Except for the bucks.....they are perfectly safe around me   :)   :) :)   :)
