RE: "Reason" for taking a deer....
First and formost I will harvest The Deer for supplimental food for the freezer.
I will takea Doe over a younger buck.
I am not a trophy hunter,I will wait for a more mature Buck.
As far as antler measurement,I don't give a tinker's toot about it.
A good buck is a good Buck.
I have no problem with young hunter's-or-those young to hunting with harvesting a spike or young buck,After a few years they will hopefully graduate up to older buck,s.
That's My two cent's anyway
