I don't need it or want it.
But if it's there it's mine.

Want. I'm not big on deer meat so I turn the entire thing into sausage. I'll keep the backstrap but even that isn't something I'm big on.

Gotta shoot that spike, grind it up and stuff it in sausage casings with majority domestic pork in order to make it through the harsh Louisiana winters

I cringe when I hear this. I grew up in an area of South Arkansas where I’ve never heard of anyone scoring a deer or even having the knowledge to do so. Now I work in an area where this is all the “hunters” I know talk about.
I don’t need the meat. I enjoy it. I also enjoy the moments of hunting rather than the score. I hate that hunting has become that to most.

How about you make a New Year’s resolution to not, and post less.

Sounds like you didn’t change your approach toward the meat. You changed your approach toward a part of the animal you can’t eat. I’ve never heard of a deer antler stew or antler bites wrapped in bacon. Sounds like you’re knocking the people shooting deer for meat because you just shoot them for what’s on their head.
As for me, I need 1 deer a year to keep my freezer stocked. I’m a single guy that enjoys cooking deer for myself and friends and that only takes 1 deer a year. After that I will admit I chase big bucks. I’ve never killed a big one. But if I get a shot on a big one after my freezer is full, I will give it to my mom who wants the meat but doesn’t hunt so she can’t get it herself.

The down votes come from the “I’ll be that guy” quote. How about just say do you manage your herd? What are your results. Maybe even have you ever just had to eat game out of necessity, or just enjoy killing what’s brown is down?
There are all types of hunters in this world. For example Georgia allows for a 12 deer per year annual harvest. When I was a younger man going through a divorce and had very little little money I would routinely kill 8-10 deer annually. I had a friend that was a butcher and would help me make sausage and grind for my kids. It was a cheap source of meat to feed my children.
After re-marrying I was able to enjoy selective harvest and managed what “herd” I could. I think we probably all grow throughout our hunting lives into better game managers for the most part in “self educated hunting”. Some people hunt out of substance their whole lives and there is absolutely nothing wrong with hunting within legal limits to feed your family. There is nothing wrong with being a game manager and conservationist either. To each his own.

“I needed the meat” does kinda drive me crazy but only from specific people. Know a guy that could afford filet and lobster every day but will day he needed the meat or his wife will say how they needed deer meat because they haven’t had any. It’s not heroin and beef taste better.
I don’t pay a lease and hunting for me is relatively cheap. As part of negotiations with the wife, I promised her she would never have to buy ground meat again. I need to grind 3 deer a year to achieve that. I have bullets and price of processing invested. I’ve done the math and it saves the household some money. Still won’t shoot a young buck to achieve that though
Need vs want is about like kill vs harvest for others. If I get lucky shoot a trophy class deer, it’s a kill. If I shoot the big 6pt I see almost every hunt, I decided to harvest him.

Your OP came out very sanctimonious. Maybe if it hadn’t sounded like a lecture to anyone not doing it your way it would have been better received.

I'm broke as shite. I need the meat bad bad me.
Real shite. My family and I enjoy deer meat. Whether it be a roast, backstrap, sausage or grind meat, we eat it at least once a week. Also, when we go places, one of my signature dishes is a deer sauce piquant. I let deer walk all season. But if its getting late in the season and I only have one deer in the freezer, you better believe i'm taking something I might not be proud of. I want it. And if I want it, I take it. Simple as that.

There are two views being expressed in this thread that are good examples of what is wrong with hunting today. The first is yours. Worrying about how and why other people kill what they kill. It's not mine or your business what someone else chooses to kill. The flip side of that is the guy that shoots any buck or doe that walks out then wonders why he doesn't see any deer (or bigger deer).
The second view being expressed here that is even more perplexing (and in my opinion, damaging to hunting) is the "I like to hunt, but don't like the meat and simply eat it out of responsibility" mindset. To an anti-hunter, that's ammunition. To a non-hunter indifferent to hunting, that could leave a bad taste in their mouth. Killing something for the fun of it then eating it only because you killed it, to me, sends the wrong message.
But I'm not going to sit here and judge anyone. To each his own. The beauty of hunting is anyone can do it, and do it the way he wants to within the rules. As long as the meat isn't wasted, who really gives a shite why someone hunts?
I'll never understand the antler craze. I don't hunt for things to hang on my wall. I can go buy stuff like that at the store. See how that works?
