Mr. Mauser as for telling me to read the post... I always read before i post.. that just makes sense and i 100% understand your story there( "knew they were both yearling deer" - Mauser ).... i dont agree with shooting yearlings in general.. thats my choice. And i put what would have happened around here in our group we hunt with. maybe we have it lucky and dont think about shooting these cause we see atLEAST3 deer a night while hunting i dont know. But as with all Forums... its just my opinion.. you dont have to like it.
