With the food stamp programs being cut back, you will see more of a meat hunter mentality and you also will see more poaching I'm afraid.... I feel both are detrimental to the deer herd .... I utilize the deer I kill for food, but that isnt the main reason I hunt....I hunt cause that is who I am and what I do....If I want meat, I'll kill a Doe and I will always hold out for a decent buck, and IF I get him, fine, if not, fine....
