I love deer meat and I love everything about hunting. I enjoy being at the top of the food chain and eating the beast of the land

Kinda funny. When the kids were at home we ate 6-8 deer a year. I do all my own butchering. I have never killed a deer JUST for the meat. I could buy meat. I killed them because they walked by me and I wanted to. Now the kids are gone and the wife quit eating red meat. I didn't kill a deer this year. Let three walk the only morning I hunted. Now, it is not about the meat, never was. It isn't about anything. It is called hunting. I love deer meat, always have...been eating it 60 years and don't care if I ever eat another piece of it. Now caribou is a different story.
Why do y'all persist in arguing about this crap. Who cares. Grow up. Just go hunt.
Meat hunter, trophy hunter...who the he11 cares. It costs me not one dime to deer hunt. But truth is, today, I'd rather have a hamburger.

Pretty much straight to the point... There are a few other topics on here that falls under that statement... Just go hunting and enjoy the opportunities that you are given.

Well said Wes!!No --- it's "really about" everything, including the meat, the trophy, the total experience, the etc., the etc. And all deer are trophies to me. Some are better trophies than others, like that mature doe was a greater challenge and trophy than a younger one.

I haven't noticed anyone arguing on this thread. It was a simple easy question. No judgements made on my behalf, nor should anyone else judge someone based on what they said here. I was curious to see how big the meat factor was with hunters.

No, but I do like it when I make a chilli, spagetti, stroganoff or stew with venison and dont have to buy it.
I also like to pull out a log of summer sausage for snacks or when needing a steak a little elk.
It supplements my diet and makes eatting cheaper and therefore I can spend more money on stuff and land to kill me animals.

Sole reason and simple answer is no.
I do enjoy eating deer and will let my wife take some doe for the freezer. She enjoys killing anything so I leave the doe killing to her. Our deer population is not to thick. So the sole reason to kill doe is meat but not our sole reason to hunt.
