[QUOTE="StumpGrinder, post: 2103060, member: 114832"] I agree that ageing definitely helps. Here in NC it is rarely cold enough to just let them hang. I learned years ago about water ageing and it works great however if you do an older buck along with a younger buck or a doe, which I have done, the quality of the meat in the latter is 10 times better. So much so that if I saw a 10 point standing beside a spike, I would shoot the spike. I don't have the room or the money to have a deer or 2 mounted every year, and if I'm not shooting it for a trophy then the meat becomes of primary importance. In my opinion trophy hunting is ruining hunting. I never used to hear abou pay to hunt. Now that's all you hear!!! So far I have never had to pay and often I'm asked to come in the off season on depradation permits to reduce the doe population on a bean field. These are areas being hunted during the regular season but the hunters just want to shoot bucks! The farmer wants to thin the herd! If you have permission to hunt over an agricultural field, you owe it to the land owner to take does! Other wise he will be calling someone like me in the off season to shoot the same deer you PAID to hunt! By the way, the permit is for ANTLERLESS deer. A buck that has lost its horns is fair game!
