Landon, If I saw a 6 yr with a 2x2 I would shoot it, in essence wouldnt that be an attempt at some type of QDM? I mean the letters QDM mean verry little to me (its like pissing in the wind), but I would take him because he is not a "quality" buck, but 80 pounds of deer hamburger and sausage, 4 loins and a month of steaks, stew, etc. Plus he would be considered a management buck in anyones books.

Im a hunter, without the funds for an IL hunt with a guide, so my experience with my property he would be a target.

So to answer your question, yes I would shoot a 2x2 two year old just as easy. I dont get that many shots to pass on, so Im pumping with adrenaline with any buck that comes my way. If my trail cams show a 4x4 3.5 yr old, and its the first week of archery and I see him, I would take him. I would have no problem putting him on the wall either.

Face it...us Virginians, especially in your descriptions of where you hunt, would not hesitate.

Thats what Im saying when I say.........
