Rob,

How do you feel about this? It won't effect me and I wouldn't be upset to see either Maine or New Hampshire go this route. I've been passing small bucks for a few years now and am seeing the diffrence but I don't think the general hunting public will be ok with it. I prefer to seek out and hunt mature animals and where I hunt there is almost a mentality that it's unsporting to shoot a doe and cause to celebrate when someone in the party shoots a spike. I'm all for people getting their deer but I don't agree with killing immature bucks.

I hope the hunting for mature animals improves for you over the next few years. If that's what it takes to turn the tide where I hunt then I'd be happy and welcome it with open arms.
