How many future bucks are you saving if you pass on a button buck and then turn around and shoot a mature doe?
Well......at least ONE!
I'm more concerned about the possibility of additional, future does. If I take her out, this year......I KNOW there's at least one more mouth not contending for food in my woods after I take her. If I didn't have a surplus of does.....I wouldn't be targeting her and her fellow does.
This mentality ('future bucks')seems VERY,.......VERY "old school".
