You don't describe what your situation is: i.e. leased, public land, or private, but here's my take...

If you are a guest or on public land, shoot (or pass) what your host declares "fair game".

If it's a lease, shoot what makes you happy or find some like minded guys and start another.

If it's your land, tell your buddies what is fair game, if they can't abide by your wishes, dis-invite them.

I live in Jersey as well. While we have a long season, no Sunday hunting and long workdays really don't leave me much time to hunt. Hunting public land I always try to take a doe for the table first and hold out for a mature buck, but, at a certain point in the season, an easy shot at a legal deer is... venison.
