Except “old school” hunters take doe because they taste better.

IDK, maybe a 1 yr old buck is better than a 9-10 yr old doe....

The problem is that you have no idea of how the meat is going to taste like until you get it onto the table.

I had a young cow elk that tasted like crap, and a 8 year old trophy bull elk that was fantastic eating. A friend shot a fawn from that year, when I went over to his house and he opened up the shed where it was hanging you could smell it, it tasted just like it smelt.....bad.

You just never know.

Depends on what they have been eating. Acorns will have a strong taste and apples will be nice and sweet. Age affects things, too.

As does how it is handled in the field right after recovering it.

This is a strictly mathematical viewpoint:

What Makes 100%?
What does it mean "TO GIVE MORE" than 100%?
Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%? We have all been to those meetings where someone wants you to give over 100%.
How about achieving 103%?
What makes up 100% in life?
Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these questions:

If:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
Is represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.

Then:
H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%

And...
K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%

But -
A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%

And....
B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T
2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%

AND look how far ass kissing will take you.
A-S-S-K-I-S-S-I-N-G
1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 118%

So, one can conclude with mathematical certainty, that while Hard work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there. Its the Bullshit and Ass Kissing that will put you over the top.
Now you know why Politicians are where they are!

Absolutely amazing and deeply moving story of an Aussie woman's bravery with a tiny .22 calibre pistol yet they are like a mosquito bite to a big croc.

A Darwin woman, Beverly Thompson, 38, has stopped a crocodile attack using a small .22 calibre Ruger pistol. This is a story of self-control and marksmanship by a brave, cool-headed woman with a small pistol against a fierce predator.

Here's her story in her own words:

"While walking along the edge of a lake near my house in the Zuccoli Village Estate near Darwin discussing a property settlement with my soon-to-be ex-husband, and other divorce issues, we were surprised by a huge 3.5metre crocodile which suddenly emerged from the murky water. It began charging us with its large jaws wide open. She must have been protecting her nest because she was extremely aggressive. If I had not had my little Ruger .22 calibre pistol with me, I wouldn't be here today!" said Beverly.
“Just one shot to my estranged husband's kneecap was all it took. The croc got him easily, and I was able to escape by just walking away at a brisk pace. The amount I saved in lawyer's fees was really incredible - and his life insurance was also a big bonus!.”

If I recall correctly, the Republic of Congo (ROC) is Brazzaville and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is Kinshasa. I use to work in the Angolan province of Cabinda and the ROC was north of us and the DRC was south.

So, if it's Democratic, then you need to scratch lower, and if not, then higher.

I was hunting in South Dakota, and had a buck jump on a doe. I did let him finished, he died with a smile. He stood there after I shot him, the buck never felt the impact.
