Deer antlers. Elk and moose meat. They actually fill the freezer

It’s the same story here in Saskatchewan. Yes, we have some enormous bucks but, lots of deer we do not. Winter devastates the herd some years. I love antlers so will hold out until the bitter end of necessary before I kill something. I’ll enjoy the jerky I make from any deer, but I’ll enjoy it even more if I can occasionally admire its antlers in my basement. The good cuts come from moose in our house anyway.
To each their own though.

So what about the guy that let's bucks larger than his best ever walk? Some of us outgrow antlers and can care less about them. I'm sure for those that still highly value them you understand that as well as a strait man trying to understand how any man can be gay. It just does not compute in you heads as being possible. The big steroid guys at the gym were the same way when I said I have no interest in bench pressing 500 lb. They just took it as I said that because I couldn't not because to me that's not in shape and a good way to get injured.

People tend to think everyone else values what they value and that's not the case. [/quote]

My youngest son (15) let a buck walk a couple times that would have been his largest. The deer was only three years old. When you care about antlers you need to make decisions based on age, not size. The deer has potential to be a giant. Most adults would not have been able to do that.
