[QUOTE="poorhunter, post: 5488107, member: 16537"] Yep. I’m totally a “brown and downer”, I shoot the first deer I see almost every time I hunt nowadays. I don’t get out very many times, and I have 10 mouths to feed, and we all like venison better than beef, so I try to kill as many as I can each year. This year I’ve got 4 but only one each of the past two years. I was looking for 6-7 this year so we didn’t have to supplement with beef. This deer gave three times the meat of a regular sized doe that I had hung the day before, so maybe one more will do :p . I was only curious what he scored. It has some meaning to me, but not a whole lot. I didn’t even look at his antlers to check how big it was or wasn’t until I walked up to him. I’m actually most pleased by taking a map of the property and picking a good spot before hunting it. I came from Indiana, and locating a good spot is far more difficult in Tennessee. Add in the wind and thermals, and I am pretty much at the mercy of nature. I have a dozen farms that I am able to hunt in my area, and usually only get around to hunting two a year. For big deer and numbers of deer, this place I think is the best of them all. Most of them sit unhunted year after year because the landowners don’t hunt or maybe once-twice a year. [/QUOTE]
