Horns or Groceries

Post by RB » August 25th, 2009, 9:29 am

There has been the usual pre season discussion on some of the boards, not necessarily this one, about the trophy hunters vs the meat hunters. Since we don't have a polling option what is your opinion: do you hunt for horns or groceries? Post your opinion and why, there is no wrong answer here.

It is all about the antlers for me. Oh, and screw those sum-bitches that say they would pass on a 160" 3.5 year old instead to kill a 130" 5.5 year old. I think they are lying through their mother fornicating teeth.

I agree with that.

A guy should take a couple does for every buck he kills for management, food, and fun reasons. Hunting for a big rack is more exciting imo.

Why can`t you be both? I have one spot where I target trophy sized bucks, but under the right conditions I will kill a fawnling to eat, and to sharpen my acute, natural, blood-thirsty, killer instincts. On my father-in-laws farm, small bucks get a free pass. Anything without headgear is in serious trouble.

I need a place like that 170. I could whack 3 or 4 does and put some meat in the freezer. But, I am very protective of deer around the HFA. I keep hoping MOdoekiller will invite me to hunt with him. No such luck thus far.

You need to get rid of some does on the HFA Snake.

A few years ago I would have agreed with that. Nowadays, everyone else is doing it for me. It wouldn't hurt me to kill a few, but, if the wife or FIL wish to shoot one, I just as soon they do it.

Hell I'm still waiting for PoisonSnake to let me hunt the HFA for the bushhogging. :howdy:

Groceries for me...unless of course I'm hunting the HFA, then I'm all about the horns. :banana:

Dude - You saw some of those big bucks he had penned ....uh, I mean roaming free untethered over there. Even that small one he showed us is enough to turn a diehard grocery hunter like me into a knuckledragging antler hunter. :yes:
