We have a difference of opinion obviously. I always enjoy myself while doing any thing in the woods.While I am dissapointed if I don't shoot a buck that meets my criteria I am not heart broken.It is all good!
I don't need to kill something with calcium on it's head to validate me as a hunter,and I am not saying you do,but many do!
Obviously you and Charlie P can shoot any animal that is legal and that is your perogative.
I guarantee that there are many folks here that wouldn't bring either of you into their hunting area's with them being aware of an intent to kill a 1.5 year old buck!
I don't say it with anger,I say it as a matter of fact,any experienced hunter with that interst is not going to hunt with me.It doesn't mean that they may not be a friend,or a fine human being.
