doughboy.....i have no problem with him shooting a 3" spiked buck, if he wants to put a tag on it.... dont get upset, you must not have read the entire thing where teh guy keeps on hunting for another buck.which i dont know where you hunt but in my area you are allowed only one buck with a firearm. so to shoot the 3" spike and keep hunting for "another" buck is neither legal or ethical.thats what i was saying, not that he shot a young deer..i have nothign against that.as long as after he kills the yearling he is done unless he has doe tags. ...as for teh AR on the second buck tag.i would def. agree to that, however in my area it would only apply to those who either bowhunt or late season muzzle hunt.
