Default RE: do you hunt for mature deer only ?

For the most part yes. When it comes to bucks its usually 4.5 and up unless a 3.5 has at least 135" of antler. When it comes to shooting doe's I try to shoot an older looking doe if possible. If she looks a tad on the old side and has no fawn or just one fawn I'll try and take her out instead of taking out the young doe who has a pair of fawns and who is most likely going to put out 2 fawns every year. When it comes to fawns I'll shoot a doe fawn late in the year if it comes down to it, never a button buck though.
