RE: You absolutely do not have to!!!
Thanks for your post.
My first bow kill was on the small side last Saturday. Both my huning buddy and processor gave me a hard time. I took it all in stride. I told my hunting buddy that if it did not have spots it was going down earlier that morning. First of all it was my FIRST bow kill. Second the smaller deer actually taste better. Third I hunt for meat not for antlers. Finally now that I have my first out of the way I can be more selective. (which I will)
