Would you rather?

I would have to personally go with the second option. I love to hunt and enjoy the meat, I could care less about the record books.

 

[JLS]

No brainer.....

 

[Hilljackoutlaw]

I voted option 2. Part of me hunts not exactly to kill a record book animal, but I definitely like harvesting old cagey animals which obviously are usually bigger. Trying to outsmart a wily vet that knows his surroundings better than I know the back of my hand is one hell of a fun challenge. I love the challenge as much as the meat.

It depends on the day and season.

 

[Nick87]

Are you serious clark?

 

[F250]

Too many hunters today worry more about the tape measure than just enjoying the hunt. The TV hunt show "experts" force feed the audience INCHES and AGE in their determining of a successful hunt. Not for me !!!

 

[KipCarson]

Anyone who votes to never hunt again should be permanently banned from the forum. And they should go donate all their organs to people on wait lists because they’re obviously already brain dead.

 

[Nameless Range]

Based on the background evidence it is highly unlikely it will ever happen, but I vow that if I ever do stumble into killing an elk or deer that looks record bookish, people will be left wondering whether it was record bookish, and I won’t ever know or care.

 

[Stay Sharp]

After killing some P&Y species, I cant find a difference in the flavor.

The smaller antlers tend to be more tender and taste better! 〽

Neither Cap'n...

This reminds me of the loaded questions in the hunting surveys that are designed to get the answers the authors of the surveys want.

I never have gotten the “trophy” thing, hunting or fishing. I hunt and fish for the time I spend with my son and close friends, for the outdoors experience and to put meat on the table. Sure, if luck will have it I get a “big one” I enjoy it, but it is not something I seek. I wish all game & fish departments managed for overall herd/school health and maximized hunting/fishing opportunities over buck/fish size except as part of herd well being. But when I look around, I feel like I am definitely in the minority.

Ok, so I'd take door #1, renege in '21 and hire you to deal with the devil.

Why because they don't agree with you?

 

[MTGomer]

What’s a below average animal? In the Custer, it must have its antlers growing into its head!?

 

[ignorethefringes]

lol @Randy11 trying to stir the pot.

 

[NR_Hunter]

Option 2 is my current hunting trajectory anyways so nothing changes for me with that option.

I almost like fishing enough to select option 1 tho. Almost....

 

[CiK]

Can I still be a part of all the fun on Hunt Talk if I break the records?

lol @Randy11 trying to stir the pot.

I'd be the Sandy Koufax of hunting.

Seriously though, I'd probably take that deal.
