I definitely am. When I hunt upland game birds, I try to shoot them on the ground whenever I can as I find I miss and wound fewer birds that way. When it comes to deer hunting (which is not a chore I enjoy at all), I could care less about antlers and buck maturity, and really just want venison in the freezer. In fact, if I ever had the option of choosing an antlerless only tag or a buck only tag, I would choose the antlerless tag knowing that it would give me a statistically much greater chance at scoring meat.
Obviously, I don't have anything against those who pursue only the most mature bucks with the biggest sets of antlers or those who pride themselves on being able to knock fast flying birds out of the air, but I have no interest in those pursuits. For me, it's all about enjoying time outside (except for deer hunting from a fixed position, that's just horrible ) and eating delicious hormone and preservative free meat.
