I hunt for meat as my first priority although if I'm on an expensive out of state hunt I will try to hold out for a trophy grade animal because if taken care of properly can be as good as a doe. Depending on what they have been eating of course.
I enjoy hunting deer, ducks and geese, and fishing for salt and fresh water fish.
I figured out when I was in my twenty's that I needed to consentrate on mule deer when I was young and could climb. So I have hunted mule deer in Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, New Mexico, Northern Kaibab of Arizona, West Texas, and Alberta.
For the past dozen years I have been in the whitetail phase of my trophy hunting, although I always hunted Texas for meat whitetails including does. For Trophies I have hunted Texas, Kansas, Missouri, Alberta, and Saskatchewan.
I've not felt I could handle all of the meat to hunt moose, Bison, and elk although I've eaten it and found it much more desirable than deer or beef.
Happy Thanksgiving to all.
