deer meat dos not all taste the same and you'll never convince me of that.
I have thrown buck meat away because I could not eat it. maybe it's an age thing or a rut thing or whatever, but I will never pay to process anything with antlers again.....
We eat two-three deer a year and none are bucks......

you are correct sir, we dont eat Bulls for a reason...we eat steers

Other than fawns, as long as the meat is processed well, I can't tell the difference between sexes or ages. Two weeks in a walk-in cooler and even the oldest rutted-up buck will have the consistancy and taste of a young doe.
Now I CAN tell the difference in deer from different areas due to what they have been eating (acorn-fed versus corn-fed).
Most proccesors mix deer meat...as I have been told and witnessed, the deer you bring in might not be the deer you get when you pick it up...however I was told that most weigh them to see how much you are owed...just a thought

3 small young bucks yes.  Not much butt busting involved in that task. Let the rookies have a few for Pete's sake! If you let one walk you might realize how easy it is. I bet you I could take you to public land where killing a yearly buck is harder than killing a good buck on your private land.Stop putting people down for hunting different than you.I am sick of you acting like you are better than anyone else.just let people hunt and have fun.
Hunt how you want within the law but if you have a desire for a big racked buck then quit killin the youngins, if the public land you speak of doesnt have deer then dont hunt it!, if it does then let the youngins walk unless you need the meat to feed your family, Public vs. Private land is subject to too many variables, one can be easier or harder depending on those variables, there are some hunters that know how to get it done and many more that dont, my opinion is that killin' deer is easy hunting is not

That's absolutely true, but what I see more and more of is hunters that just want to hunt and kill something.
I used to see hunters that killed the young bucks and then complained about not seeing any good bucks, but that is now a rarity. Hunters get it. To have older bucks you can't kill them when they're young. But I think those interested in older bucks (and although I realize it is hard for some to believe, not all hunters are interested in older bucks) ARE passing up young bucks. The harvest data makes that very clear.

Did your 51 pointer come off of public land?...How many times did you hunt public land on non-quota hunts last year?...
tree tramp,...how many times did you hunt public land on any non-quota hunts last year?...

none of the processors i have ever used do that. they process 1 deer at a time. you get YOUR deer.

I have never considered hunting public land, I get permission from land owners to hunt of which some are highly pressured from multiple hunters, I specifically choose areas that produce big racked bucks
