I personally feel it is sad that there are hunters among us that shoot anything that walks by their stand. Considering most deer herd ratios, you'll probably see at least 6 does for every buck. So why whack that first buck be it a spike, 4 pt., or anything less than a shooter. Do yourself and every other hunter a favor and let them grow andshoot a doe. Who knows, you may eventually shoot a buck worth bragging about.
