I don't like to shoot yearling animals, period. I try to harvest the game that has the same amount of experience I have.
I'll smoke a 1.5 year old doe all day long. But they get a pass for being a yearling in my neck of the woods.
IMO, it is like killing the birds that nest in my wreaths. They have no experience. I hunt for mature animals because it is hard. Really hard. If I want good meat, I shoot a doe (Do this anyway for herd purposes).
You do what you want, I do what I want, GAME ON.
ICALL2MUCH don't take this the wrong waycause I see alot of similiar posts and I am probably reading into this too much but saying "you do what you want and I'll do what I want" is fair enough but when it is "you do what you want and I'll do what I want (but by the wayIMO what you are doing is like shooting birds out ofmy wreath)" changes the context a little. I also don't follow the shooting a 1 1/2 year old doethen saying you onlyhunt mature animals line of thinking. There is really only about 12 months, give or take, age difference/experience between a first year doe and one in it's second year and both are far from mature. I'm probably just reading into that one too muchor does that mean basically youshoot any legal doe except for one that appears to be 1st year and only hunt mature bucks?
