"as for being young deer what differece does it make as long as the meat is not wasted ."
Why freakout on that guy for shooting a button buck then,is theree a big difference in shooting a 1.5 and a .5 year old as long as the meat wasn't wasted?Especially when the guy didn't have that much experience?
however I will never shoot a doe with her young or a yearling ..
That's your personal ethics if a farmer wanted them gone I drop Mom and the ones right behind her. Done it before would do it again. They eat farmers crops too.
