RE: WHAT is it about a BUCK????
What's wrong with wanting to shoot the biggest "buck" possible?
When you go fishing, don't you want to catch the biggest fish possible? Do you cut your line once you realize you have a little yearling on?
Keep in mind that not only is there is a sport to hunting deer there is also management aspect of it too.
What would happen to our deer population if people always shot the first animal that walked by? How quickly would people tag out early in the season?
Personally, I big mature doe is just as good of a trophy to me with my bow.
