Every deer hunter wants a big buck.
At least, every honest deer hunter wants a big buck. The author of such homespun wisdom is, at best, showing a lack of common sense. Second, in a given region, a mature buck might carry twice the field-dressed body weight of the average doe. If meat for the freezer is the main objective, tagging a pot-bellied old warlord ensures the most bang for, well, the buck. None, I'll bet.
