Personally I'm a trophy hunter, I take mature doe and I take mature bucks. I have no problem with anyone harvesting younger deer for food for the freezer or just for the excitement. Deer seem to currently be populating faster than we are harvesting them so feel free to take a couple. I work extermely hard to take mature deer and if everyone lets the little ones go I think it would become a little to easy and almost the norm for everyone to take a mature deer. For me that would kind of take away from the feeling you get when you do connect on a big deer. I will tell you this for sure, I've taken small bucks and I've taken larger bucks and taking a large buck satisfys my hunting needs far more than a small one. However that is me and I can only offer you my feelings. It is up to each hunter to make their own choice what makes them a happy hunter.
