During the this past year on the opening day of the WVa rifle season, I decided to take a mature doe late in the morning after having not seen any bucks. I watch her and her two yearlings for about 20 minutes to make sure there was no bucks behind her prior to taking her.While standing back at my truck later that morning and talking with the farmer I hunt on and his nephew;who had taken a yearling doe, the neighor from across the road came over and berated me for shooting does. He said not to shoot the does because he was trying togrow big bucks. I have to mention that during his conversation he bragged that he had just shot a 6pointer with probably a 13inch spread and also he had killed a 4pt during bow season. The landowner I was hunting on was tickled that we took some overabundent deer off his land. I don't see how letting does walk will grow bigger bucks
Any thoughts?
