habitat

I too will shoot a doe before what I feel isn't a mature buck for the area.There alot of factors that play into this,How much you can hunt,how many animals you have harvested,population of deer in the area etc.I like to hunt all season so I try to find a buck and figure him out.It's just a fact that the more mature usually they are harder to hunt so it's the challenge.That said at no time should a hunter feel ashamed because they harvest a buck of any size legally.I don't shoot button bucks but will not stop a first time hunter from doing so.Most areas that contain deer have a surplus of does and the more young bucks that get to mature increases the chances of you seeing one,it also usually makes for a more exciting rut.Hunt,have fun and stick together
