I never said I didn't understand you I simply asked what sacrifices. You said what I thought you would say, the sacrifice is passing on young bucks. I see that as a choice. You choose to pass on younger bucks I choose not to mainly beacause of the number of buck tags I get. If I have three buck tags I would have to be one heck of a hunter and have a whole lot of time to hunt to successfullykill three maturebucks this season. So letssay I use two of them onbucks that are 3 or under in the big picture I still have one I can useif the big boy decides to cooperate and there will still be bigmature deer next season because like you said they are there. Now granted there might be two less but two less than what? Some unknown number ofmature bucks because many of them are never seen anyway. Butthey are there, I'll give you that but I am definitely not gonna piss away three tags because the deer that came by today didn't have his ID and looked a little young.Instead I'll hunt as much as I can and make the most ofmy trips out, if I have 3 day weekend to hunt- no I probably won't shoot the first buck that comes by, if I am slipping out for an evening hunt I might. Now I can surely understand how in another region if a hunter only gets one buck tag he would hunt differently andif I hunted somewhere like thatI probably would too. But I don't so I don't.
