This is definitely an issue thatall of us will never see eye to eye on. I prefer to let small bucks walkand kill more does in an effort to do my part to help balance the buck to doe ratio here in SouthCarolina. Its ridiculous how many does there are to every buck. As a matter of fact, rattling isn't effective here because bucks don't need to competefor breeding rights.

I have no problem seeing a youngor new hunterkilling whatever makes them happy, i'm just as happy for them. But it is a little bothersome to me to see an experienced hunter killing spikes and passing up does. When fishing,we all thrive on catching the big one. Why is deer hunting so different for some of us? Like a lot of you guys, I would love to see more mature bucks in my neck of the woods.
