Many people simply want meat for their families. I've never been a trophy hunter - whatever 1st legal moose or deer I see, gets shot.

I've never hunted for large horns or antlers. For me, I do like to see & do appreciate the results of people harvesting the large sinking bulls or bucks.

I prefer the younger animals for the freezer. Just like being a meataterian, it's a personal choice.

Where my son and I hunt in Tennessee you can only shoot 2 bucks a year starting with bow season in October and ending with rifle in mid January.
We shoot does for meat and only take a buck if it is of true wall hanger size. This property has been managed this way for a few years and the bucks are getting bigger.
My son is a wildlife biologist and has set up much of the management plan for this property.
