One thing I forgot to mention......it was HIS idea to let the bucks grow!!! I do not have a problem with his hunting ethics. He is a great shot, and knows a lot about hunting. My problem is he may be taking deer that have a lot of potential. Also, we both agreed (last year) to let the smaller bucks develop. He has a family of 5 to feed, and they eat all of the meat that he gets from his deer. Again, I think that is great. I just would rather see him take does in place of the spikes. That's all. I enjoy hunting with him, and I don't think this will effect me hunting with him or not. I guess if it comes down to it, I will just shut my mouth and let it happen!!![:@][:@]
