This topic has been beaten to death and discussed from every possible perspective so many times.It may be new and fresh for some but it old and tiresome for myself.
If someone has an interest and desire in shooting older bucks from their hunting area's it is extremely unlikely that will occur if they are shooting young bucks in those area's.While it is my wish that more hunters were more selective in what they chose to shoot I respect every hunters rights within the game laws.
I look at deer in two way's as meat and as trophies,for meat and herd management I am shooting doe's,for trophy hunting I am pursuing older bucks.In herds that are severely unbalanced shooting young bucks is bothersome to me.I don't understand the logic of passing on doe after doe to kill a 1 1/2 old buck.Meat's the same you are not going to mount the animal so why not do the herd and the carrying capacity of the land some good.(provided you have a doe tag or either sex tag)
As long as someone goes about their hunting with integrity and consumes what they kill I am supportive and would provide enthusiastic support and congratulations regardless of the age of the animal they have killed,even if I didn't agree with it!I twould be especially hard for me though if someone filled multiple buck tags with 1 1/2 year old bucks,to me while of course still legal is what I would consider a poor use of our natural resources.
I am not looking for agreement or attempting to change anyone's mind it is just the way I feel.
