Thread: Should I have shot this Deer?

Average-Lad. My philosophy is: hunting for meat take as many animals as you want, as long as meat isn’t wasted. If trophy hunting be selective what animal to take and again don’t waste meat. If doing trophy herd management shoot females and inferior males, again if possible don’t waste meat. If in a culling situation, different situation, generally you’re effectively thinning to waste. Not everyone has the mindset for this. It pisses me off when I come across dead animals and only head, backsteaks or a hind leg taking when the animal is less than an hour’s easy walk to car park, especially in areas where I’ve carried out dozens of animals when meat hunting in years gone by. In saying that, I do culling work so maybe a bit hypocritical.
