I'm 100% about the meat. That's it. I got into it over on Archery Talk on a thread where someone proposed a theoretical: Shoot a 200" Once In A Lifetime Deer. You Can Only Take The Head or the Meat.
I'm one of the few who voted "no question: meat". I got called crazy. A liar. Grandstander, etc. Some people just don't understand the absolute ZERO desire some of us hunters have for antlers. Oh well.

I understand your take on the matter, but let me pose a question to you. You got 2 deer standing out infront of u all broadside equall range, u got 1 fat mature doe and a skinny lil forky. Which do u shoot? I know a lot of guys who say they are meat hunters and don't give a hoot about antlers, yet they drop the fork horn every time. That's the thing I don't get.
