I apologize for those I may have a offended I'm 27 yrs old and have only killed a doe in my 3 yrs of hunting I live in Ky and yes dear population is great in most areas and but it is in MY best opinion to kill a deer that has had time to live. I'm a Christian man and God put these great animals here to share the land with us and I believe that everything has a right to live. But I'm also and avid hunter and fisherman and I practice good conservation on both sides. I've had many many opportunities to kill many small bucks and spikes but I was brought up to let them pass on a chance they may grow into a larger Trophy Buck one day. I do have a daughter and hope I will be able to take her on a hunt one day that she may kill a deer regardless of size or sex. But as for me I choose only to kill does for meat (because they are very plentiful here) and larger bucks for trophys I will continue this practice as long as I hunt so that when my children grow up there will be good hunting in Kentucky as there is now. My message was a question not a statement and I was just curious as to why people kill young deer? I guess if you only see 1 or 2 deer a year then I could kind of understand that but I only saw 1 deer last year and it was a small doe that walked up to my stand last year on opening day this being because I got bronchistist from sitting out in the rain all day and only got to hunt a small amount of time. But I was more than happy that I got that chance to go hunting and see that 1 deer that is more than some people see in a life time. But my freezer always stays full with wild game so I guess I'm lucky but I apologize to all I may offended and I'm truly sorry. Please don't hold this against me!
