For a first deer no problem shooting a small buck or fawn that just the way it is and im proud of what i have shot over the years but for adults who have taken many a deer and even some 140"+ why keep shooting the small bucks my neighbors are like that they hunt good land and shoot 1 1/2 yr old 8 points and smaller everyear if you just wait a year youll have much bigger bucks year after year.
