rack hunter...but i always eat the deer.
meat hunter, but if a record buck happens by, i won't pass on it.
Both---I hunt for meat the first part of the season and when the rut kicks in, I look for antlers.
Meat, but like Jamesti, I wouldn't pass up a nice rack.
Meat hunter primarily. Always have been because I enjoy venison. I do have a couple nice bucks on the wall though. They were in the wrong place at the wrong time I guess.
Im with Country Road Ill shoot does but once the rut kicks in im all about antlers
Yes
I'm a hunter...period.
Check Petzel's latest on the home page.
Neither really. I think of myself as an “experience” hunter. I love putting meat in the freezer and I’d enjoy bringing in a real trophy buck, but I’m mostly out there for the joy of the hunt.
Hoski,
How's your hunting been so far? Waterfowl has been fairly good. Got skunked on the deer/elk hunt. I still have a late ML deer tag.
WAM
I'm a meat hunter. In SE Ak the season opens Aug 1. It runs untill Dec 31. Aug blacktails are very tasty! Too bad more states don't have open seasons when the meat is at its peak for eating, instead of when it is at its poorest.
Absolutely.
In the beginning, I was a meat hunter and would shoot whatever came along. In more recent times, I have become more selective, and will pass up on the little guys. I don't mind going home empty-handed, leaving the spike buck if it will make the day for somebody else.
I guess that makes me a trophy hunter.
depends, meat hunter this year, but a trophy hunter in better economic times.
When I'm out there, I want stew. If the stew happens to come with a free gunrack, well, I sure won't let that stop me.
Beggars can't be choosers
Both.
meat, but Ill wait for a booner till october 31. Then any big body buck goes.
Meat First on Doe Week...Antlers later!
WAM,
To tell the truth, I've been chasing steelhead so far. I did put up a new ladder stand on the food plot. Took the advice from you guys earlier this year and bought a new scope, (nikon 3X9X40 prostaff) have discovered that Lightfields shot the best outta the 1100. Anxiously waiting for the end of the month for another crack at that buck who performed magic in front of me last year.
I've seen the posts concerning your Colorado trip and the chicken salad dinner upon your return to hearth and home. Good to hear some of your group had some success.
Good luck with your late season tag.
Meat, I have 2 really good mounts, but if a huge Atypical steps in front of me he;s going down.
Hoski,
Right after the late season, I'm going to dust off my steelhead gear and get after some metalheads and late chum salmon. I haven't been hitting the rivers much since I got my black dawg, but this year is the year!
Meat and scenery hunter I guess. I have trophies on the wall and don't mind letting novices get the trophies. I'll sure not pass up a shot on a giant though if I have a chance.
Once I have meat in the freezer its back to the marsh with Glock for me. I love late season greenheads. I'm a sunny day deer hunter and a windy snowy day duck hunter. Glock is not a fan of deer hunting. He fishes with me, travels with me to and from Ak, and doesn't understand why I leave him with a gun in my hands for deer hunting. Thats the only time he gets left home.
never in my lifetime have i seen a recipe for racks
Depends a bit on what I am hunting and how hungry I am. Hunting is not a pastime for me, rather it is a way of life. Have been lucky enough to enjoy the adventure of hunting most everywhere. At times, others depended on me for meat, other times just being outdoors was the main goal. Our freezer is always full and my mind has plenty of memories.
we have ate 3 deer since last year (just 2 of us) so meat hunter to begin with but do not like to shoot young bucks and try not to shoot does during the rut.
Im a hunter but i try to manage the deer as much as possible. I dont shoot young does, no young bucks unless its a coil. I love the meat and love nice racks!
