I'm just glad I get to shoot 3 bucks per season if I choose to,which I haven't done the last few years,but it was my choice not to shoot also.I don't really have a set standard where I will shoot or not shoot it really depends on my mind set at the time a shot presents itself whether I shoot or not.For example if I have been seeing deer on a regular basis then I am more likely to pass on a deer {bck or doe} than if I've been hunting hard and not seeing deer.I've been hunting the same land for several years and I have not seen an increase in the quality of the antlers and I know for a fact that a lot of young bucks are being passed on by myself and neighboring land with no large increase in big buck kills.I'm not caught up in the trophy buck fad and still think a hunter should do what feels right to him at the moment of truth.and not worry about what others may say or think as long as it's legal.Some does are more of a challenge than bucks anyway.Don'tet me wrong I do passon deer but I don't set acertain score that a buck must meet,it really doesdepend on what my mood is at the tome.we get 6 deer per season and I only killed two last year,but could have killed 6 but didn't see anything that made me want to pull the trigger.I say to each his own even you who do set standards,good luck with that.
