I’m past the stage of killing a deer just to say I killed it. I know what I’m after and when I see it, I shoot. First few hunts of the season, I’m a meat hunter and once I get what I need then I get very selective. But if someone wants to shoot and it makes them happy, I’ll be right there to celebrate the kill with them. Deer hunting is supposed to be fun and watching deer in their natural state is way more fun for me then having to clean a process them. thumbup


Agree....I went thru the killing stage about 10 yrs ago and now have become very selective....If I kill a couple early in the season for meat, I am good...my wife will kill 1 or 2 and we usually give most of the meat to family and friends....I have never worried about what others shoot....I tell everybody that once you make the kill, then the real work begins in cleaning and processing....
