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.

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.

All of thee above, and then some. I use any and all reasons to be outside tromping around the hills.

So you really want to know?

Stand by!!!

#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.

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

The Rocky Mountains call me every day of my life. If I can't go to them at least I can look at them until another day off arrives.

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.

Mostly to be outdoors, but I also enjoy the food.

i hunt because i have to provide meat for my family. i love the outdoors and i love to hunt. and to get the biggest big game like Bull ELK.

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.

Being outdoors and producing food.
