If it was for the meat I would go hungry most of the time

But it still don't hold a candle to beef and never will as far as I'm concerned.
x2,...I don't think I have had anything that can touch a good rib-eye off of a grain fed beef....mmmmmmmmmmmm 
x3, As long as there is a grocery store that sells, beef, chicken, pork, fish. I'm not goin to eat it.

Simple answer is NO. I can come home empty handed and still consider it a great hunt.
I would love to shoot a wall-hanger but most years do not. I have taken small bucks, does and even once taken a nice 11 pointer that is on the wall.
The money I have invested in archery equipment, guns, ammo, camo, tree stands, time in the field cost me way more than simply going to the local grocery store. Heck most times deer processing alone cost more than buying meat from the store.
Just my 2 cents.

No. I take the tenderloins and either donate to hunters for the hungry or have it made up into summer sausage. I'll take my grass feed beef over venison any day.

Most "meat hunters" use this title as an excuse to kill anything that walks. The so called "meat hunters" I know couldn't kill a racked buck if they had to. JMO

I actually really enjoy eating deer meat, I think it tastes good and health wise its hard to beat venison. To me its really all about the hunt and experience the meat is just a by product. I shoot does for the freezer and bucks go to donation.
