bigcountry I don't get what u say,what does being an expeirenced hunter have to do with killing a yearling.You sound as if you believe that anyone that kills anything less than a trophy is not a true hunter,I would have to disagree,we must kill does as well as bucks and there is no difference in killing a yearling doe than killing a mature one,other than personel preference.I shoot what I want to shoot when I want to shoot it as long as it is legal.With that said I killed 4 deer this year with one being a decent buck and 3 does 2 of which were yearlings.I passed on six different bucks and several does and yearlings as well.I did this because I wanted to kill some deer,but wanted kill more does than bucks.I have way to many does to bucks on my hunting property and that is the reason I killed only 1 buck so maybe the bucks would get older and bigger.I would have liked to have killed more does,but 3 is the legal limit,by the way our limit is 3 bucks also,not to many years ago I would have killed my 6 deer regardless of size,but now I would like a better class of bucks to choose from,but I have no problem with hunters that choose to kill whatever is legal in their hunting area and it just bugs me to hear someone try to down someone for doing just that.Hunting is something that is very personal for each hunter and we should support ech other regardless of our personal agenga out in the field.
