I did say that...and mostly I (still) am. Oddly enough, I finally got my wife to eat it now, so we've kept two does this year. First two deer we've kept to eat in 22 years of marriage. I always gave them to folks I knew, or my local processor has a donation "feeding the hungry" type program I would give them to.

Just me personally, for BUCKS, if I ain't gonna mount it, I ain't gonna kill it. And nowadays that's gonna have to be a better than average buck. That wasn't my self-imposed rule for most of my years, but it's just where I am today. And again, I don't expect others to be that way, but I sorta have that rule because of the following reasons:
1. Just ain't that fun to kill. I've killed lots of em.
2. It's a waste. All I'd do is saw the horns off and throw em in the shed.
3. Whether it's true or not, I "assume" a doe is better eating. So if I want meat, I shoot a doe. And like you asked, I didn't really even shoot deer to eat until this season.
