Re: What's a shooter to you?
Here in the badger state we get 1 bow tag buck and 1 gun tag buck restriction is 1 horn 3" min. we get 2 doe tags for both gun and bow and depending on your desire no limit on does tags providing you pay $12 each.
"I'm with Wabi " that and the wife places the food order each September! this year she wants 3 I'm not picky till I get the order filled We are meat eaters.
I actually think the obsession on big racked bucks has hurt the sport and taken a lot of the fun out of it .I think every deer is a trophy IMO

Re: What's a shooter to you?
I only get one tag. Typical a buck or doe, but that's a draw. So for me it's a tough one. I've yet to get a deer with an arrow. Always shotgun.
So this year I've passed on 4 does, only because I don't want to end my season.
So what's a shooter to me? The one that hangs up my bow for the year. It's bittersweet.

One buck tag. Sitka blacktail's with a bow in dense pacific bush. If its got horn of any size... it hits freezer. Can't be to fussy cause there so elusive.

Re: What's a shooter to you?
I agree.... The past couple years I have been harvesting 1-1/2 to 2-1/2 year old does or spikes to get some good tender freezer meat.Buszone wrote: ↑Thu Oct 26, 2017 11:59 amHere in the badger state we get 1 bow tag buck and 1 gun tag buck restriction is 1 horn 3" min. we get 2 doe tags for both gun and bow and depending on your desire no limit on does tags providing you pay $12 each.

There are some nice bucks in our area, and I would shoot one given the opportunity though.
I will be leaving for the cabin tonight or tomorrow morning and will sitting in one stand or another all weekend.

Re: What's a shooter to you?
Wow, that's harsh! One tag period. That would certainly change my definition of a shooter. I'd have to move.

Re: What's a shooter to you?
I personally don’t shoot fawns, doe’s with fawns or 1 1/2 year old bucks, everything else is on the menu.

Re: What's a shooter to you?
I have been thinkin since i made my earlier post. I am Blessed that i can take unlimited Doe's n they are my meat supply. They jus eat better than big older Bucks. A Buck as a shooter to me can be most any of them but i have gotten to where i choose them fer Rack character. I have never killed a Spike wid long over 9" Spikes, so one of those is on my list. Any Buck that s antlers that show character like the one in my avatar i will shoot. Spread means nutten to me
Re: What's a shooter to you?
I agree Mike, I guess when it comes down to it I don’t decide what I will shoot until it is standing in front of me. After all isn’t that what it’s all about, pleasing ourselves and not someone else?vixenmaster wrote: ↑Fri Oct 27, 2017 8:27 amI have been thinkin since i made my earlier post.

Re: What's a shooter to you?
First good sized doe gets an arrow. Usually out of venison by the opener so hunt for the freezer first then I get selective... Have yet to go out on a sit and not have a shot opportunity.. So many deer this year and have hunted just half a dozen times and could have killed a pile if wanted... Just looking for a good 3 1/2 year old buck....

Re: What's a shooter to you?
With our one and done . It is hard to shoot the first deer that comes by . Some may say get it done and over with . Not me !!!
I actually enjoy all parts of the season . But really enjoy late season .
So a shooter for me is a deer that I am willing to end my 2017 season with .
