Some laws are enacted due to the DNR population studies etc. Some laws are purely done for political reasons. Some changes are made to improve populations of game animals. Many of these laws or rules are in a dynamic state of change. I know Wisconsin changes the rules every year. They do study the populations and try to tweakthe rules to get the desired results. Many people don't like the rules and ther DNR gets a bad rap. Many hunters will not shoot a doe,even if it is good for the herd. Many still think more does...more deer.

The statements made in the opening post are all ethical considerations which are personal descisions. If it's legal, you now must ask yourself if you feel it is right in your heart to do. If not then don't do it. If it's legal,don't bash your hunting brother for doing it. If you feel laws are wrong try to change them,but don't expect much luck unless you can get a long petition of wildlife biologists to sign on to your opinions,they're the guys who make the recomendations for the laws in the first place.
