First its my escape from the hassle of a concrete jungle and second it's to feed my family. A trophy is just a bonus.

For me it is being outdoor and management. Antlers are nice but i am not dissapointed if i dont get a trophy every year.

all three

Being outdoors and getting away from the hustle and bustle of the real world is definitely the main reason. Having delicious food is an added bonus, and if I just so happen to get lucky and get some nice antlers, thats just icing on the cake.

Being outdoors, it's almost like meditation or something, a chance for me to get away and be with my thoughts. And there are few things as exciting as ducks dropping into the blocks or a buck sneaking his way down a trail.

I like blending with nature and getting a chance to see how the other animals meander on with their lives.

To get back in touch with nature and myself. The challenge. The companionship. The pleasure of watching bird dogs work. The meat.

I do it because I have to provide meat for my family. And I love to get off my butt and get out to explore the wilderness. I love to hunt. I t would be very very very hard to give it up.

For the love of being outdoors and also, there is something about the meat that taste better. Maybe because im crazy but to me, venison tastes better than a lot of beef cuts.

Being outdoors and food. It isn't a necessity to feed my family though because we can get by without hunting so i guess that leaves just being outdoors, which was my first choice anyway.

to hunt and to be outside. i love the thrill of the hunt and the felling of being in the woods. but if i didnt like the meat i would not hunt because i would feel bad about wasting it.

#1 is food for family.
#2 is being outdoors.
#3 is the antlers.
I love being outside of the steel and concrete jungle. We eat more venison (deer) than any other meat. I think it is OK to hunt deer partly for antlers, because if god didn't want you to like them he wouldn't have put them on the deer.

I live for it. Don't eat it every week, well the fish I do.

All three, but just having that alone time is theraputic. There is nothing better (except having my son with me on stand) than being outdoors, I don't even care if I even see what I'm hunting. You see something new damn near everytime your out there. Not to mention the fact that everyday, you can learn something from a new situation. God bless mother nature! And then there's Deer Camp... How do you top that?

I hunt to be mostly outdoors. It doesnt matter if I get an animal or not. If I do get something then I give most of the meat to my parents just to help them out a bit since there's 6 of us.

All I hunt anymore are Roosevelt Elk. I love the area I hunt in, but more than that, I love matching wits and cow talking bulls. I don't fill my tag every year, but that's okay. That's hunting and am very fortunate to have filled the tags that I have.

I hunt to enjoy nature and for the venison. It's and extra bonus when I am able to drop a nice buck.

Getting outside, away from work and computers. Slow down and watch the world for a little while.

I love everything about the hunt. if i have a chance for a trophy im taking it. but i will never pass up the opportunity to spend the rest of the year enjoying
tasty steaks and burgers with my family.
FIND EM; SHOOT EM; EAT THEIR HEARTS!

I go with All Three!!!
