Default RE: Shoot 'em or Let 'em go?

I get that a lot on my property. My buddies say I'm wasting good opportunities by not shooting the small bucks that come under my stand knowing my neighbors will shoot them anyway. But to be honest they would bring me no pleasure to shoot, and if it pleases my neighbor to shoot them than I don't want to deprive him of his opportunity to enjoy a hunt just so I can regret having shot something smaller than I wanted just because I could. If I let him go past he MAY live to be a better class buck, or he MAY get shot by a neighbor. But if I kill him, it's CERTAIN that he won't get any bigger. I'll shoot does for meat and let the little guys walk.
