<font color=red>Just keep it up, and antler restrictions are soon to follow. If they are scrub bucks that are not developing into quality animals, by all means, take them out. But, just because there are numerous small basket rack bucks, does not necessarily mean that they are all scrub bucks.</font id=red>

You keep saying if hunters dont stop shooting young bucks , antler restrictions are soon to come? Please explain this! The states that have imposed antler restrictions have had low doe harvests , so they did what they believe will increase the doe harvest period! If I live in a state that has an excellent doe harvest and yet we still have a large amount of young bucks harvested , what will your warning be?

<font color=red>You are wrong about this statement, I do need to harvest animals for the farmers I hunt on. If not, it puts them in financial strain. I'm sorry I can't prove that fact, but it is a fact.</font id=red>

How does it put them in financial strain? You already condemned the farmers in my area (which you know nothing about) for shooting any type of deer because of crop damage. Which btw was a very ligitimate answer to your question which you chose to downplay with zero factual evidence. Who's answering questions based on emotion???

<font color=red>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you are a full grown man, with several smaller bucks under your belt, why would you possible WANT to shoot smaller bucks?

This is the question I have posed several times. The only so-called answer that I receive, is that they &quot;choose to&quot;. This type of thinking will eventually lead to necessary restrictions by state agencies to help out the deer herd again.</font id=red>

Still avoiding the answers to your question? You've been answered several times and yet you pick out the vague , yet most important answer to your question , simply because of it's vagueness.

<font color=red>BOWFANATIC,
This question was not answered for the sake of this debate. A debate is having a stance and backing it up with factual information. Not just an answer like &quot;I choose to&quot;.</font id=red>

Once again , read all replies and dont skip the ones that give true arguement to your &quot;debate&quot;. And for the record , I've given you answers other than &quot;I choose to&quot; (&lt;did I even say that?) What type of factual evidence are you looking for? You haven't provided any! Do you want to see the crop damage reports in my area? Shall I provide you with names and phone numbers of the farmers in my area so you can tell them their all wrong? How much time have you spent in our national forests (northern Wi) to make an educated statement towards a hunter who shoots the first buck he sees because it might very well be the first buck he's seen in a few years? And dont say , why is that? We're talking about vast forests which dont hold the deer numbers that farm country does?
